Supporting the rock ‘n roll lifestyle

We learned last week that Kelly’s cousin’s husband Jim’s (got that?) band Romantica would be playing the Pour House last night, and so they did. Kelly and Scott got to see ’em while I hung out here with the kids.

After the show, both Romantica and the band they’re touring with, Mando Saenz, crashed here. Six sleeping musicians were scattered around the house when we started our day! Everyone was really cool, though. Its a shame they couldn’t stay longer.

They gave us a few CDs that I’ll listen to today. And next time they play here I’ll be the one who goes to the show!

Whoops

Whoops
Blues Traveler

Have you ever seen an atom
Little bits of everything floating by
Take a good look at them
Collectively they compose all you see
including your eye

Brilliant puzzle
A living Rubix Cube we think we can figure out and solve
But we’re just monkeys
Scratching our heads trying to open our ears
To a chord that just won’t seem to resolve

In Spite Of Ourselves

I tuned my rental car’s satellite radio to Radio Margaritaville this morning and fell in love with this colorful song. I gotta check out the rest of John Prine’s work!

In Spite Of Ourselves
John Prine and Iris DeMent

She don’t like her eggs all runny
She thinks crossin’ her legs is funny
She looks down her nose at money
She gets it on like the Easter bunny
She’s my baby I’m her honey
I’m never gonna let her go

Celia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh, Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home

This may be the funniest geek humor I’ve ever seen. I was building the OSX plugin for the XMMS audio player just now when I got this ‘error’:

checking pthread.h usability… yes
…

checking for GTK – version >= 1.2.0… yes
checking for xmms-config… /opt/local/bin/xmms-config
checking for gawk… (cached) awk
checking for XMMS – version >= 1.2.0… yes

checking for white_boys in -lFunkyMusic.so… no
Warning: You may not have enough white boys to play your funky music.
Please obtain additional funky white boys.

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile

…

Kudos to Bob Dean! We’ll see if it will work in spite of these limited resources. 🙂

[Update] Must not have enough funky white boys: the plugin segfaults. 🙁

Any day, you’re gonna throw it all away

Now hear you whine

you got it coming right in on you
this is what we should do
