Random Music Talk CVII - At Home with Cobbler

[corianderstem]

I hope the point of that story is that you were honestly good to drive, and not "LOL I got away with it."

I can't imagine you'd share the story if it were the latter, but I get super uncomfortable when people share stories like that.

 

[david]

Nah, I was fine. I wouldn't have been allowed to drive by everyone. The girl who jumped on stage then offered me the worst dating advice a drunk person can give another person.. She wasn't allowed to drive. I should mention I had 5 drinks spaced out between 5 hours padded with water tea and food.

 

[david]

'Drink and drive, you bloody idiot.'

People in Los Angeles tend to have a higher...tolerance when it comes to these kind of situations. Especially in the days before Lyft and Uber.

I've had a couple close calls myself. And I also know a lot of people who have had DUIs.

 

[david]

I think my martini's were a little on the weak side. But yeah, I turn 38 this year, so my days of REALLY drinking and driving are behind me. When I was younger I had those moments where I woke up and realized "Holy shit, how did I get home..."

But I had that reminder last night, that even though I felt okay, had the officer for whatever reason become suspicious and ask me to pull over (Like he did with a car full of younger people) and if I had to take a breathalyzer my life would have changed. Of course if I was like shit faced wasted and got into the car and drove and killed myself or a family, yeah, that too would have changed everything.

Did those "very special episodes" of TV shows I watched in the '80s not teach me anything?

Speak for yourself. Drunk drivers are fucking assholes.

 

[lazarus]

You're not in Los Angeles.

 

[martha]

I have to drive through LA after concerts and deal with fucking drunks all the time.

They're assholes, and no one tolerates them except other drunks. We've had this conversation before.

 

[LemonMelon]

I've driven with a beer or two in my system a couple times. But I've been in two accidents (completely sober) and the very thought of getting in another one terrifies me so much that I never chance it.

 

[corianderstem]

I still feel horrible about my one "I shouldn't have driven" moment ... and that was about 20 years ago.

 

[david]

On a very special episode of Random Music Talk CVII - At Home With Cobbler...

 

[david]

Hey, so yeah, that new Kendrick Lamar is great.

 

[Cactus Annie]

is Sting a classically trained musician?

 

[Hewson]

He's classically trained in the art of Tantric sex.

 

[corianderstem]

I think I'm finally done with my massive CD purge. It almost feels like I got rid of too many (probably around 350), but my total is 1,499. Which is where I usually think my total is. But it had actually gotten up over 1,800. Which is ridiculous.

 

[david]

I kind of like the new Cold War Kids album.

 

[david]

The singer of Cold War Kids kind of sounds like Ian Astbury sometimes.

 

[Danny Boy]

 

[david]

Justin Beiber is pretty.

 

[david]

Stevie Wonder's Innervisions albums is a masterpiece.

 

[lazarus]

You could say that about all four albums in that stretch.

 

[david]

Stevie Wonder's Innervisions albums is a masterpiece.

Woah, I sometimes type how I talk when I am drunk..

 

[Kieran McConville]

It is not safe to listen to any extended collection of Underworld tracks. Not if there's wine around. It's a shame, really. People in AA probably have to swear off Underworld too.

I've gotta get rid of a load of magazine & newspaper articles that I have collected in one cupboard. it's not good to hoard

 

[Cactus Annie]

I am compiling a list of genre's from the world of film, tv, music, books, theatre, fanfiction, radio/audio, comics, panthletes, newspapers and magazines.
For the music list I have considered the possibility may need to expand and seperate New Age music into New Age and Native Spirit. Native Spirit encompasses African music, Australian Aboriginal music, West Indian music, stuff played on pan pipe and Enigma's back catalogue.

New Age music includes meditation music, trance and albums with birds singing and sounds from rainforests.

 

[Danny Boy]

Welcome back, Annie.

 

[u2popmofo]

I've been into Yaz this weekend after watching an episode of The Americans where they were mentioned several times.

 

[Danny Boy]

Upstairs at Eric's.
