With all the rain in Los Angeles, it was the perfect weekend to just chill. My wife and I fucked a lot and smoked even more. Life is so much better when you’re high. We watched that Chris Cunningham DVD. He’s the dude who did that creepy Aphex Twin “Come to Daddy” video. I highly recommend renting this and watching it totally stoned out of your mind. That Madonna video he did will equally blow your mind. Cunningham is a truly disturbed individual.

I also listened to Bluebird’s “Black Presence” CD. I have always been a huge Bluebird fan, but I never really dug this album. This is because I was never stoned while listening to it. The entire record is free form instrumental stoner rock ala Desert Sessions. It’s very atmospheric and jammy and I don’t know why I never gave this disc a second chance sooner. Bluebird was a great band and I hated to see them break up last year. You should buy all of their shit here or here. Next week I'll put up some Bluebird MP3's.
And getting baked this past weekend was also a good way to pay respect to Hunter S. Thompson. There will never be another journalist like him, and YES he was a journalist. You should watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas a smoke a fat bowl for him. Why can’t people like Eminem die?
