There are NO places that sell Arizona brand Arnold...
…or Arnold Palmer’s on any nature ANYWHERE. What’s the deal, west coast? Does the name Arnold Palmer mean nothing to you? Do you guys hate lemonade? WHO HATES LEMONADE???
Ever since I got to LA, I’ve had X stuck in my head.
And no, not The XX. God, what are you, 12?
Only in LA...
…can you find an Asian cop in an In-n-Out burger at 11:30 at night.
This might be a tad uncouth to mention, but coming from Bahston, where your cops are generally named “Mickey O’Shea” and “Doyle McShaughnasey” I didn’t realize how surprising it’d be to see an Asian police officer.
Go figure.
A question fir you record people: is it really easy to warp your vinyl if you leave it in a hot car? They’re in the sleeves and away from direct sunlight, but it is HOT in my van. Thoughts?

“Remember the twist I mentioned at the beginning of this conversation, this is...”
– Joe Quesada on the secret brilliance of “One Moment In Time” and “One More Day.”
OK, Joe, I need to be square with you: I hope one day to work for ya or Marvel. I confess, like a large number of the fans, I didn’t quite care much for OMD, for reasons that I’m...

i decided that I'm ready for the world to know. Dearest friend gray, I accept your affinity for lovers of the same sex! While am 150% heterosexual, I understand that you are not. It is totally fine that you consider yourself to have the same sexual disposition as David Bowie, minus the sex with women. I know understand what you meant everytime...

My Thought's on this Whole "Donal Glover as... →
Quick Rundown: there was kind of a joke twitter campaign to have Community’s Donald Glover play Spiderman in the upcoming reboot. The issue? Donald Glover looks like this:
and Peter Parker, up until this point, has been drawn to look pretty much like this:
Cue nerds FLIPPING THEIR SHIT.
I love this whole thing so much. It’s kind of great see people, mopping the proverbial...
Only in LA...
24 hour, franchised Vietnamese food.
Maybe you Angelinos take this for granted, but the fact that my two options at 3am in the morning are El Pollo Loco and Pho is FUCKING INSANE.
Got to LA. Anxiety is starting to kick like a mule; the cold, quiet desperation sneaking back into my gut. Maybe it’s bad memories, maybe it’s just the feeling of arriving and my issues catching up; they were only a mile or so behind me.
Can’t outrun yourself. Just gotta dig it and let it hit you sometimes.
Auuugghhhhh
Update: I’ve made it to Las Vegas, where I’m staying with the awesome and super talented Chris Bitonti (he plays in Save The Hero for those keeping track).
I think it’s the relentless dry heat, but I woke up feeling like utter garbage today. Getting sick of the desert. Bet all my vinyl is warped.

“Love is a form of prejudice. I have too many other prejudices.”

Sleep mask = gone
All hope = lost
I consider myself a pretty liberal guy. I’m all for higher taxes, socialized healthcare, and people having sex with whoever they want.
But I think I’d rather eat my own head than watch more than five minutes of Real Time With Bill Maher.
The rundown, the breakdown
So here’s where we’re at:
I’m in Selina Utah. Club wag has a cracked radiator, supposedly a pretty simple fix. While a part of me is squeamish about putting another few hundred bucks into the van (not an obscene amount, just enough to give pause) given it’s not great on gas and probably ill-suited to wherever I end up (San Fran, LA), all my shit (and by that I mean...
Driving through the desert in Utah. Club Wag, while soldiering on admirably, is basically a giant oven without AC. I’ve resorted to wearing a wet t-shirt on my head and shoulders to keep from passing out.
Uh John Darnielle is singing with Superchunk on Jimmy Fallon right now. HOLY SHIT.

*Why Gray Hates Youtube Cover Videos
*OK, So I’m not down with this whole Youtube Cover phenomenon, and I feel the need to explain my reasoning.
Now, I want to stress that I support Youtube as a music distribution system. I absolutely support both established and up-and-coming artists using it as a tool to drum up fans/support/label interest/publicity/debut new material/distribute music videos. I believe Youtube has...
