ROCK AND ROLL DREAMS COME TRUE

see, the crap thing about getting shit hammered really early in the night is that you then go through all the bad post-drink symptoms at painfully annoying hours. like, normally when you get wasted at say, midnight, by the time the spins and the nausea kick in youre usually (hopefully) safely asleep, and so the only thing effected is your dream pattern. but take last night as an example - i met sarah and brandon in midtown for a killers listening party. at 7 pm. and LA reid was kind enough to provide the vino ("fiiiiiiine wiiiiiiine," as brandon would say), and i was kind enough to drink sarahs interns under the table. so by the time we went to dinner at say, 930, i was well into the "i like grapes" realm of nastiness. so i went home, did some work stuff (ah the bedroom office, how ive come to loathe thee), and got into bed for some TBSonLeno action and sleeeep. so whatevs, still drunk in camp karenplusone, i mustve fallen asleep around 130 am. flash foward to 3 am, and i wake up from one helluva dream and i was all, what the fuck, ive been in bed for hours, im clearly not having night number two of timetodrinking with dave keuning, why do i feel like im gonna pass out??? oh right. im completely and utterly wasted. oopsies!

its been a fun couple of days though, having dave in town brought back all sort of memories and made me uber-stoked for the new record. i think the boy from iowa has successfully proven that there isnt ONE "fun one" in the killers, as he managed to entertain himself for hours (ok, minutes, but it feels like hours in a bar) when i left him alone. he lost points for dissing emo (they LOVE doing that, dont they?), but won MAJOR points by talking to me for hours (again, probably minutes) about some of the more obscure queen songs and records that we both love. and dude didnt even take offense (too much offense) when i told him the new single reminded me of meatloaf. in fact, he seemed pretty receptive to my ideas of a meatloaf-esque video, with mr flowers on a motorbike in celine dions mansion, but im gonna go ahead and assume hes forgotten the genius already (sbt, alcohol). the new record certainly borrows a lot of the loafs theatricality, and i mean that in the best way possible. you cant really argue with the "bat of of hell"s of the world, and brandons voice sounds amazing on the new tracks. i cant wait for the world to hear "bling."
