Day 32 – Berkeley Day V: Laundry, Day Off & Hip Hop
Today was a true day off. Except for the laundry. Which I did. The morning we watched episode six of Flight of the Conchords.
See?
Laundry was a fun thing for sure, but during all that fun, we hit the comic book store again. I bought even more Adrian Tomine books (Optic Nerve 9-11). And some Buffy comics. Oh and some Serenity Comics. I again spent too much money.
After, we went out to Herbivore with Josh’s family. Again, super fun times. They’re just swell folks.
Cole was going out to see Sex and the City so Josh and I stayed home and watched post-punk and rap videos.
Here are a few for your listening/viewing pleasure.
Radios in Motion by XTC
I’m the Man by Anthrax
Bring the Noise by Public Enemy & Anthrax
I used to listen to a lot of rap when I was in middle school. And while I couldn’t relate to the black experience, it did give me a lot of insight into how different it was growing up black in the city compared to growing up white in the country. I couldn’t understand it, but I definitely respected it.
I think I’m going to do a post just about that soon. But until then…
