MY TRIP TO PHILLY PART II

I WENT TO PHILADELPHIA PART 1

I went to Philadelphia for the the first time last weekend. Here's what happened/what I learned in a few bulletin points because I'm sure like me, you don't have the time, patience,  or fucks to read about how much fun I had:

-Arrive early for your Megabus because people are crazy.

-Talk to the person next to you because you never know. I met a cool music publicist. 

-You need to buy something to use the bathroom, EVEN if you're dying. 

-Don't try to use the bathroom at Gino's if you ate at Pat's...even if you didn't eat at Pat's. 

- Don't park by the park because you'll get a $51.00 fine. 

- Don't go to Pat's for cheesesteaks because they weren't good. Yeah, I said it...and I'm a little scared to go back now. 

-Don't wear black and brown or lose fitting jeans to Briar Vintage because the guy that works their will tell you that "ya look like shit". 

-Go see Matt & Kim in a different city because they don't love NYC as much as I thought :,( :,(

-Be prepared to party with dorm kids because I don't remember any of Profstock...but maybe that's not a bad thing?

-Go to DSW because their employees will tell you how good looking you are.

-Bring a straightener so you make your babie-sh boyfriend look silly. 

-Go to the Reading Terminal Market because the fudge is SO good...also, a GREAT birthday present ;)

 

MUSIC MONDAY

"Three handsome young men", also known as Davey Crokkett just released their EP Between Nowhere and the Trees, and I think you should go and listen to it....now. 

You know that shitty punk-grimey-*suuuuckkk myy diiiiiii-core* "music" Staten Island has been producing lately? These boys are the polar opposite. See what I did there?* They have sort of a dizzy sound that reminds me of a down-in-the dumps-place that I don't want to discover because I hate it there. But despite that feeling, I can't stop listening. 

In "Bigfoot", a track that starts off with a laid-back, lo-fi, sound quickly turns into a song that I don't want to relate to. "And I deserve to be happy, but I can't be happy", we've all been in this place, in fact, some of us might never get out, which is scary, but that's why you need to be ambitious and willing, and you realize maybe things will change, regardless of that we all feel this at one point in our lives...hoooly run on sentence. 

They also cover a version of Ke$ha's "Tic Toc"...in ITALIAN! "Più Merde di Sangue", which I didn't bother to Google Translate, sounds a lot more pleasing to the ear than the trash-bag-chic queen's original (I use that word lightly) song.Though, it is possible that the joke's on me and this song is really about love and heartache. Anyone understand Italian?  

The album wraps with "Frankie Blue-Eyes", the song with one of my favorite lyrics, "Anchor my looks in your maybelline lashes. Bury me hooks in your de chiriko skin". Whoever said boys are stupid can go away now. 

Anyway, support these boys and generally New York talent! 

Favorite song: "Oops, I Blew It!"

*If you listen to the album you'll understand.
