Tonight's blog is about where I live and where I don't. Like when someone asks me what the best food and beverage combination is and I respond with duck and Pinot Noir without thinking about Anderson Valley Boont Ale and microwave popcorn at the Mercury Lounge in Goleta. Especially after smoking a doobie. But then again, I have never done that after smoking one but can imagine how great it would be if I had. Especially if there were a scrawny little skater kid playing a Deerhunter record in the corner. Preferably one of their EPs, like Flourescent Grey or Rainwater Cassette Exchange. Cause I need just that many songs to get into it but not more than that since there is other music to be heard. Like a half bottle - more than a glass but less than a bottle. So weed n reebs n EPs n corn. And I had just finished working really hard. Much harder than I would have ever liked to. Making me really thirsty. And really tired. And making that moment of relaxation unbeatable. That would be the correct answer.So when I see a photo of Monument Valley in Utah, I can't help but think of how incredible it would be to go there. But then again, I realize that I live awfully damn close to a region of the world that is one of the most magical places I have ever been... the Border Ranges between NSW and QLD. And while I have been there a few times, I sit at home and wonder about places far, far away. This area, especially the NSW side, is incredibly unheralded.
So the reason I bring this up is that last weekend I spent most of it at home. And I played all the Fuckpony songs. And their album cover has a photo of Monument Valley with a formation very similar to Mt. Lindsey. And I had emailed out a photo of Monument Valley to my friends earlier in the week. So that is 3 and 3 is worth a post.
