Oh man, I was about to head out my door. What a great start *that* would be for my new music blog. Srsly.
I figured I’d post this remix of Caked Up since it’s one of my favourite Hollywood Holt tracks; it’s so bouncy and energetic — campy, but with this weird authentic energy nonetheless. I also decided to post it because I’ve been seeing Hollywood around Chicago a lot since I’ve been here.
In fact, last night I was at this weird party where Hollywood was playing with Mano, opening up for YACHT. The event was… odd. I mean, I’ve been to a bunch of weird shows in the past but this was something else entirely.
What do I mean by that?
Well, for one, there was free-flowing tequila all night. And, being nearly invincible against beer and vodka, I thought that my liver’s strength would translate. To make a long story short: it didn’t.
I wasn’t that drunk, actually, to be honest. It was just this morning that I found myself regretting it. Hangover central.
I also made a new friend because of Hollywood last night. My friend and I were taking the train back home, when we ran into a couple of people who were at the party. I can’t remember how it started, but we got into this whole discussion as to whether or not an artist’s contribution to a local scene should contribute to his or her value.
I say yes. What about you?
