We're in prime farmer's market season and Pat is buying frozen dinners? Clearly he deserves to be arrested.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Nice Pete has a repository of disguises in an indestructible shed, but it is delightful nonetheless.

I am deeply disturbed, however, by the description of charred tomatillo tamales as "pregnant little corn-flavored dream tubes."

Also, the name of Pat's accent has been changed from California surfer to "Jersey thug."  This is probably for the best, as the quoted lines did not smack of a tanned, stoned, boardshort-clad, bleached-blonde surfer to me.

This is how I think of my wife.

[wombat]

That's the most romantic thing I've ever heard.

Of course Ray would not only order expensive recording equipment on a whim. He'd also spring for overnight shipping. First Overnight with Saturday delivery, I bet.

Krass Medik is a superb name, as is Kareem Kara-mell.

Teodor is exactly the kind of dude who thinks he will be famous enough for a rockumentary.

On that note, when Ray was buying all that, I bet the salesman saw Ray's character and was all:

'These knobs go up to 11, while a normal set only contains knobs that go up towards 10.'

And Ray was all:

'Damn. 11. That's serious times.'

So he bought the Marshall recording equipment.

[theinevitable]

oh goddamn.
I just realized that Teodor's blog is where I had heard that song title. (ie: the guided by voices song.)
that means that my name is only slightly better than that of teodor's blog (the inevitable was taken from The Exploding Plastic Inevitable).

the distinctive guitar which Cobain used on Unplugged was actually a really nice vintage guitar (assuming teodor is talking about that one). He found it in a pawn shop and bought it because he liked the look-- kind of jury-rigged. It ended up later that it was one of the first acoustic-electric guitars ever made. The production line consisted of like 50 instruments.

Damn, I wish I could just find pro-quality recording gear just lying around.  My beats sound flat and my rhymes do not bust as hard as they should due to a sub-par setup and this is exactly the sort of thing that could correct it.  Guess I should start poking around rich people's garages.

Is Exploding Plastic Inevitable the name of a Guided By Voices song?  It was actually the name of Andy Warhol's art project:

Also, inev, may I suggest that you read Tom Wolfe's "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" this summer (do not be afraid because it has the word "acid" in the title, or Kool-Aid for that matter).  I read it when I was about your age and it quickly became one of my favourite books.  I believe I also read Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer" that same summer. 

It was a great fuck*ng summer.
 

[theinevitable]

yes, I was not specific enough. I first used this name for my... livejournal... because I was obsessed with the VU at the time. And I agreed with Mr Warhol that Inevitable is a pretty good word.

[misterqueue]

people people.. we're missing the real thing here.  Cutty Sarks!  Tape as Rigging!  Clipper Ships!  Square Rigged Sails!  Unfurl the mainsail and don't rip that demo throwaway copy of "The Boxer" this time Boatswain!


Sorry I got all swoony there board.. I am sorry about this.

tI, I believe you should take that statement as a cautionary tale.

Typical Teodor.  Can't make bread without fancy gourmet store ingredients and can't make music without thousands of dollars worth of fancy equipment.  Will he ever understand the virtue of simplicity?

You'd think that being a GBV fan he would be more likely to have tapes upon tapes of random lo-fi bits peppering his bedroom.

I really hope that's foreshadowing a storyline about Teodor's music. Perhaps it's just the similarly bedroom-indie dabbler in me, but I'd love to see Teodor release a few 7"s ... ideally on Prime Time Records, because I like the idea of seeing what happens when Ray tries to market himself towards the hipster market.
