Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Just about to head off to bed. I have a quaint little studio apt., now I just have to unpack and assemble my furniture and wait for the phone co. to hook up my phone line (next tuesday).
Jobs are next on the agenda. How's stuff and things in sunny LA?
Rainy, and cold.
Har. I just checked and your email was on the list of the last letter I sent off.
Huh. I didn't get it.
I'll send it again in the A.M., for now it's bedtime.
I worked for six weeks for John Cafferty's manager, answering phones and typing up contracts. He's the guy who actually sang Eddie, and his band was the Cruisers -- including the black guy who played sax. They were a popular bar band around the Boston/Providence area in the early 80s, when they were known as Buster Brown.
Beaver Brown. "Tunes" Antunes was the sax player. He's the only one of the Beavers who actually appeared in the movie.
It's ironic that Cafferty figured the Eddie movies were his ticket, but he never took off. I wonder what happened to them since...
They had one decent album after the Eddie and the Cruisers soundtrack that got some airplay. Cafferty and some of the Beavers still play gigs in the oceanside bars here in Rhody (Cafferty lives in the next town over from me).

I remember listening to friends argue that Springsteen really did the Eddie and the Cruisers soundtrack, and then being truly shocked that Cafferty and Beaver Brown actually existed.

They're now available for your corporate event. *sigh* [link]
Hello, everyone.
Ooops, sorry for the delayed X post, DX. I started it, and got distracted by Chris, who'd just woken up.
Huh. I think I like Modest Mouse.
I think I would have liked them better if the lead singer didn't make such weird faces when he's singing.

Yeah, To say that Springsteen influenced Cafferty would be putting it mildly. Cafferty fashioned himself as the RI seashore version of the Boss. I seem to remember they were friends.
You people need to just stop it with the boots. I'm fairly immune to buying online since I'm picky about fit, but I think I'm going to have to head to Nordstroms on my lunch today.
ETA:
No, wait! I get to meet Rio on my lunch today. You may all commence with the jealousy now.
