Tooting My Own Horn

I just got a call from a stranger who was super stoked on my Urban Outfitters window. He said that he wanted to buy whatever hadnt sold. I explained to him that everything had been spoken for but I planned on making more stuff. His actual quote was, "It would bring a smile to my face everytime i walked past, and I was disapointed to see it come down." I was blushing like a school girl.

I need some advice. Should I make a website or something? Who wants to be my manager?

Mitch!


Mitch Headberg has a new album out (yes i know he is dead)! It was recorded just prior to his death. Expect 40 minutes of new material in Mitch's classic style of wordplay, non-sequiturs, whimsy, and object observations.

For your laughter, here are some of my favorite lines from the man:

Fish are always eating other fish. If fish could scream, the ocean would be loud as shit. You would not want to submerge your head, nothing but fish going "Ahhh, fuck! I thought I looked like that rock!"

I want to hang a map of the world in my house then I’m gonna put pins into all the locations that I’ve travelled to. But first I’m gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won’t fall down.

I was walking by a dry cleaner at 3 a.m., and it said "Sorry, we're closed." You don't have to be sorry. It's 3 a.m., and you're a dry cleaner. It would be ridiculous for me to expect you to be open. I'm not gonna walk by at ten and say, "Hey, I walked by at three, you guys were closed. Someone owes me an apology. This jacket would be halfway done!"

I would imagine if you understood Morris Code a tap dance would make you crazy…

I ordered a chicken sandwich but I think the waitress misunderstood me because she said, "How would you like your eggs?" So I tried to answer her anyhow. I said "Incubated, and then raised, and then beheaded, and then plucked and then cut up then put onto a grill then put onto a bun. Shit, it's gonna take awhile. I don't have time, scrambled!"

My manager saw me drinking backstage and he said "Mitch, don't use liquor as a crutch." I can't use liquor as a crutch, because a crutch helps me walk. Liquor severely fucks up the way I walk. It ain't like a crutch, it's like a step I didn't see.

My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana, I said "no, but I want a regular banana later, so ... yeah".

When you buy a box of Ritz crackers, on the back of the box, they have all these suggestions as to what to put on top of the Ritz. "Try it with turkey and cheese. Try it with peanut butter." But I like crackers man, that's why I bought it, 'cause I like crackers! I don't see a suggestion to put a Ritz on top of a Ritz. I didn't buy them because they're little edible plates! You've got no faith in the product itself.

My lucky number is four billion. That doesn't come in real handy when you're gambling. "Come on four billion! Fuck! Seven. Not even close. I need some more dice. Four billion divided by six, at least."

I like rice. Rice is great when you're hungry and you want 2,000 of something.

I have no problem not listening to the temptations... which is weird.

I like when they bring a comedian on stage, they always tell you what else they do. But fuck, this is enough, isn't it? He's here tonight performing, because that is his job! But no, it's gotta be, "He laid bricks in Philadelphia. And he repaired a car in Oklahoma. He has an umbrella store in Philadelphia. That's the only city that comes to mind right now. Philadelphia, 'cause you can say "Philly" and the people from Philadelphia will not get mad. Like if you say "Frisco," San Francisco people say, "Fuck off!" But if you say "Philly" they say, "Alright!" Because I don't always have time to say "Philadelphia." Sometimes I just need that word to be two syllables. Phil-a-del-phi-a. Fuck, five! Your town would be called Philly too if it had five syllables!

thanks Dave!

Barracuda

They played "Barracuda" at the RNC after Palin's speech. Heart sent them a ceast and desist notice. HA!
I love that song.

What ever happened to?


Amerie's Album?("Because I Love It) I remember thinking this quite often last year after the single "Take Control" dropped...
Take Control - Amerie
That question just popped into my brain again today so I looked into it... It never came out in the states!?! Weird considering her previous album touch had some serious bangers. Just got my hands on it via the cyberweb and quickly scanning though the first half is great, slow jams on the back end, I'm gonna let em perculate a minute...
Check "Gotta Work"...
I never saw this video or heard the single, Euro only?
*Amerie - Gotta Work* -
BTW if you know Amerie tell her I said hi!
