i don't like seeing animals in captivity but i do enjoy looking at belugas and i think they're amazing creatures -- do you know how many videos there are of beluga whales being serenaded by an instrument?? there are a couple! at least! look them up. also if you saw that one of a beluga scaring a little girl i have news -- there are more videos of belugas scaring little kids.
I went on a boat trip a few days ago to see some seals and it was incredible there were some new born seals as well it was so incredible to see them in person. I love seals so much!
Shoutout to the men who devote their lives to trapping these adorable little cocksuckers who can’t help but get their necks wrapped in fishing wire. It’s really sweet when they bark in confused anger at first but then are stunned into silence once freed.
you probably know them already. i am from the home of Minutemen, beautiful sunny San Pedro, the port of LA and let me tell you... pedro does extreme pride really well and that is especially true when it comes to this band (and in this case the pride is absolutely warranted). george hurley built a fence behind my driveway for us. i played bass in his drum room when i was like 11 lol. yes i am flexing these things because it's awesome and he's an extremely kind man. mike watt is around town sometimes and he comes off as very unapproachable and cranky which is also awesome and funny. ultimately he is also nice though.
there are still lots of blue-collar middle-aged (to quite old) people in rock bands in pedro going really hard. one of the biggest blessings of my life is having grown up here (despite the town's issues and generally freakish nature) because of the music scene and support from older musicians. minutemen are our (humble) stars, and i'm grateful for them, and i'm grateful for the many rock/punk/jazz/blues/noise/freaky sound art people in my town. "A Wailing Of A Town: An Oral History of Early San Pedro Punk And More 1977-1985" is a great book, i was super pumped when it came out and everyone who was around at the time had things to say about it/things to expand on.
i have love for this place but i still am dying to move away. btw. don't get it twisted... i am getting out of town or i die.
pretty bad and stupid .. no clue what it would sound like melodically/rhythmically… could also just be a poem?.. was just wishing The Bear was about a bear…
