i really need to get two blogs post vite.

is that even how you spell it?

mr matthew good is supposed to put the new one together but i dont think he sees the vision that i see, but i think he will see the light soon.

speaking of which i finally got In A Coma from mr good himself and when i got home from the road trip i put the dvd in and watched the videos and then watched them again with him and his director bro talking over the music.

gotta say i liked the one with dale jr the best. they were all pretty interesting actually. although im pretty happy that i got to hear apperitions a few times live before seeing the video or hearing it on the radio.

that tune should have been in a hundred movies by now.

anyways im sitting here on a friday night not sure if im gonna get stood up on or not – thus why i need a second blog.

cuz if i had a second blog id be talking hella shit about this girl who basically begged me to forget the fact that she was not the correct astrological sign of which i am only accepting one currently.

AND NOW YOU SEE WHY!!!

anyways

im listening to My Chemical Romance because they are ginormous on buzznet and i want to find out why. i mean i know a few of their songs but not only are they in the top 40 which for a quasi gothmetal band is pretty damn good.

like a watered down manson.

my chemical romance hearts buzznet and the buzznetters heart them right back. right now they have us linked on their main page and the kids have come in droves. right now there are 4,529 images of the band and 1,439 people who have listed them as one of their favorite bands.

ah the kids.

this record isnt bad actually. which one is it? three cheers for sweet revenge. i dont know if this is the new one or old one but i like it.

buzznet is a very quiet company, youd be suprised to know.

the problem is someones always on the phone talking to someone important so you sorta have to keep it down. to remedy that we are renovating the office so marc brown sold the sweet ass couch, a bunch of closets, desks, and for the next two weeks im gonna have to work from home.

pajamas for two weeks straight.

although one of the days we have a meeting to take one of our friends out for a business lunch at the beach, classy like.

where the hell is this bitch?

in college there were these killer girls who everyone loved and one of the things theyd used to do is call each other b as a loving version of bitch.

oh you little b theyd say.

or damn b youre looking good.

five minutes ago this girl was a b, now shes a bitch.

met this chick and she was wearing a cat collar and i said ever have a nice leash on that shit

and she said not yet.

which makes me think that maybe shes being bad on purpose.

and if she is then i will love her forever.

after her spanking.

big big hair + xtx is hotel blogging + kitty + sk

yesterday i had to play photographer

for the kids at Buzznet.

it started with a lunchtime special secret inhouse mini acoustical concert with Giant Drag at the Virgin megastore headquarters.

someone i know works there and emailed me and invited me and sure enough the buzznet brass said sure why dont you run over there and take some pictures.

the sad thing is i almost instantly fell in love with the singer, annie, which of course ruined all the pictures and i think i took one good one but … all i know is i didnt have the red eye reduction turned on and if i was smart i would read the manual of the camera this weekend.

suddenly it was 2pm and i hadnt eaten lunch and i knew i had to go to the Coachella – the film – premiere at 6:30p so i asked the buzznet brass if i could just head home, grab some lunch on the way and upload pics from there, do a little work and then head over to downtown for the red carpet for the film.

they were all, tony youre the man do whatever the hell you want.

so i did all that and made it to the gorgeous Orpheum Theatre on Broadway and 8th in downtown LA. and for those of you who have never visited this fair village before, you really should do yourself the favor and at least drive down downtown LA for 15-20 minutes because its like nowhere else in So Cal.

its old its crazy its dirrty ist scary its windy and cold and the creepiest people hold up signs saying they have aids can you give them some money and odds are they arent lying so you give em money.

the red carpet wasnt all that because it was windy and cold as fuck last night and i think that scared away dudes like Beck and Morrissey and Perry Farrell and Bjork

but in between snapping the arrivals of djs like ztrip, ronnie size, cut chemist, and junkie xl i noticed a guy with what looked like a fake hair peice.

was that that kid from that 70s show?

and sure enough some publicist ran past us in the photographers section and whispered

danny masterson from that 70s show.

and he did a quickie little interview with the people with the hot chicks and the video cameras then he walked infront of us with the still cams and posed for a sec and that was that.

along the way mr gary calamar of kcrw walked past and gary and i havent seen each other in maybe 10 years i guess? hes a great guy. music manager of the famous radio station but many moons ago he was the manager of a record store in west los angeles and took a chance on a kid with a huge afro whose only experience had been working at mcdonalds for four months down the street.

and ive had some great jobs in the past and i have a great job now, but for sure the first great job i ever had was working for Gary at Licorice Pizza Records at 11876 Wilshire (how do i remember such things) way back in the day.

so i took a picture of him and im glad it turned out decent.

the movie was good, it made me tired because festivals always make me tired.

id say the best performances were by iggy pop, arcade fire, and morrissey.

but right before the movie started i noticed one of my photography heroes – the cobra snake – who had his camera out and two very young women with him and he saw that i was trying to take his picture and he held his arms out like “thats right duuudes its me the cobra snake!” and because i suck at pretty much everything it took me like 15 snaps to get a half way decent pic.

and the best part about the film was they had a bar and a secret bar and marc brown was paying.

giant drag + pix the cobrasnake took yesterday + raymi.blogspot.com works right now, not raymitheminx.com
