"Mellon Collie & The 60-Minute Sadness"

So I was asked to post lists n whatnot, more often...so here goes...

My friend, Tim, tried to start a little thing amongst our 'circle of friends' called The Babysitters Club...j/k...no, he wanted to have a little "compilation" camp of sorts....there were like 8 of us or so...Tim, his GF-Rebecca, D.C., Pat, Ginny, Andie, Pete, and Me...wow that is 8, good guestimation on my part....he had the 1st 'assignment' due at the end o'november/mid-december which was simply "grab-bag" where you get someone's name and you have to make a comp. of whatever you wanted--whether it be things you think they would like, or things that the DO like or things you wish you can do to them using song titles, whatever...my name chosen (out of a hat-literally) was Pat..i didn't know, seeing as i really haven't hung w/ him or talked music in some time--i opted to get creative and use song titles to spell his name:
Patrick Wayne Thomas.

I thought it came out pretty kick ass, but alas, nobody but Tim, Rebecca, and myself have handed anything in...and on top of which, i've already done the next 'assignment' and Tim feels bad b/c i'm making everyone look like chumps....well, that'll happen when all i do is spend time on ze puter and stay up till wee hours of the night.....i should get a 2nd job...(right w/ what fucking time??)

this 2nd 'assignment' i speak of is teh subject of the blog---take the legendary double-album "Melon Collie & The Infinate Sadness" by Smashing Pumpkins, and make it into a 60-minute endeavor...holy fun project, batman..i'm all-in!!!!

so here goes, the cd i handed in, aptly titled:

Melon Collie and the 60-Minute Sadness

Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans
Where Boys Fear To Tread
Jellybelly
X.Y.U.
To Forgive
Galopogos
Bodies
(Fuck You) An Ode To No One
Here Is No Why
Stumbeline
Muzzle
Thru The Eyes of Ruby
---------------------------------------
This magnificent endeavor has a running time of: 59min/54sec. which blew Tim's socks off, and rocks the shit out of the donkey (which pretty much goes w/o saying).

so try this out, and see how you likey...

till the next time--happy trails.

I'm hungry, let's get some fuckin french toast!
