Paul Weller Hopes + Expectations: I hope Paul plays an enjoyable set. I can certainly imagine him doing so.
My favorite Weller (solo) songs that I hope he plays:
– “Come On, Let’s Go” – As Is Now – “Savages” – As Is Now
– “Wings of Speed” – Stanley Road – “No Tears Left To Cry” – Wake Up The Nation – “Changing Man” – Stanley Road – “Wild Wood” – Wild Wood – “You Do Something To Me” – Stanley Road – “Mermaids” – Heavy Soul – “Whirlpool’s End” – Stanley Road He’ll probably end up playing a few of the ones that I’ve just mentioned in addition to plenty of new ones from Wake Up The Nation and a couple of Jam classics.
(Black Lips?!) – This is the the toss-up of the century. After the Paul Weller show, will I be able to make it down to Brooklyn to catch my favorite band? Last time I was in NYC and saw Black Lips, it ended up being my favorite show of all time — on a boat and terrestrially. It’s by the grace of God that decided to hold a “secret show” on Saturday. This would be an incredible addition to a trip that is already shaping up to be great.
Cole: If you were the teacher, what would you grade us tonight? Joe: A+, we know it all the way. Cole: You would put us in special needs classes. If you were our teacher, you would put us in classes for retarded children. Wasted Jared Swilley: This is why we are where we are right now. Because our whole life we were normal childrens in the retardeds classes. This is why we act the way do right now because no one understands us. Cole: You put me with retarded children. I’m not retarded. Jared: You can’t blame us for acting like retards when your whole world put us as retards. We are a product of this world that is run by white people. Cole: It is a reflection of your whole generation. It’s just looking in the mirror. Joe: I bet you wish you were retarded just like us! Cole: Look in the mirror! Jared: Your generation called us faggots, you called us white boys, you called us retards, queers, homos. We’re sick of that shit so this is the product of what we became because of you. Ian: You were probably that kid, too. Stuck in the side room, didn’t have no friends.
Some guy a couple of years ago blackened the lips of people on various posters around New York City. Well, screw that. Models are now using black lipstick to let everyone know just who their favorite band is. Case in point:
