A Few Of My Favorite Things
I always have so many favorite things kicking around in my head and this week isn't any different..
First of all, one of my all time favorite things is GREEN DAY. I have loved this band forever. Billy Joe is like a hero to me .. they had Pansy Division tour with them, they wrote and had a hit with a song about jerkin' off, they had a whole album now to be a musical based on their hatred for George W's America and now they have told Wal Mart to shove it when the big chain refused to sell their new album
21st Century Breakdown uncensored. It sucks as Wal Mart is now the biggest retail chain for carrying music but the band makes an excellant point saying the decision by Wal Fart will have negative effect on new artists trying to break out and not being able to say what they want... oh and the album still debuted at #1 anyway.
OLD TV SHOWS ON DVD part 1,069 - I know this comes up a lot on my favorites this but come on they are finally releasing some great ones. Four years after releasing the
Charlie's Angels season 3 DVD set the Powers that Be are finally releasing season 4 next month. Sure the Shelley Hack season is a bust because of her, but the cover shot is one of my all time fav Angels shots and I'm sure she's not that horrible, plus Cheryl Ladd really takes over once 'Bri is gone and finally it means there's only one more to go - the brilliant season 5 with sassy pants red head Julie Rodgers played by Tanya Roberts.. believe me when that is announced it will make this list too.
and finally BIRTHDAYS! I love birthdays, I love the look on someone's face knowing that this is their special day and pretty much only their day - no one else's. But I really like MY BIRTHDAY as it is my special day - MINE, NO ONE ELSE'S - and it's the only holiday where I don't have to reciprocate by giving someone a return gift.... and did I mention tomorrow is my birthday???

It's All About Me - Brad's Birthday Present Pt 1
Well kiddies, it's that time of year again - the month of Me, I mean May, no, I mean me. Yeppers
my birthday (year of birth undetermined) is coming up. Actually the day is the 22nd but as anyone who knows me, my celebration lasts all month long (and usually a little longer) - luckily the Leivas is fully aware of these details and last night he went off to buy me some birthday presents...
and he came back with some super cool ones - in fact he was so excited for me he didn't wrap them or anything and he gave them to me right away ...
I present my brand new microphone - the Rode something or other - who cares, it's mine and it's awesome. He also bought me a nice mic stand. Let me tell you the mic is so good, I can't believe it. It even has its own built in head phone so I can actually hear myself recording .. I know it's amazing how limited all my musical work has been, but not anymore - I am slowly becoming more and more professional..
The picture isn't actually my microphone - well it's the same microphone but my stand is bigger and better, cuz you know that's how I roll.
In other tidbits, doesn't the microphone look so, oh I don't know, naughty - it kind of turns me on. I know I'm strange... but alas expect some wonderful things from this little baby and don't forget to start shopping - there's only a handful of days left and my list is long, it's very long.

Debupdate
Oh my gawd.. let's say I have a bit of a head ache today and leave it at that.. I'll be back tomorrow to give a run down of the ultra faboo stuff I've been getting from everyone as we continue to celebrate my birthday - that's right just because the day passed doesn't mean it's over, I'm having dinner and drinks with pals on Friday and until all the packages from the world have hit my doorstep I'm still celebrating...
and in the name of celebration, I give you the first single from the upcoming Deborah Harry album -
"Two Times Blue" it's ultra ultra cool and frickin' catchy as all hell and of course it hasn't been released yet but you can hear it at
Debbie's My Space page - so enjoy it!
