I used to like reading these back in my lurker days & im just wondering what happened to them as i dont see them anymore? Do folks not have top 5s now or would they rather talk about shaving products, bush & racism? Im not really sure why top 5s dissapeared but i think soulstrut should bring em back!!

You may not know it, but somebody started a "fives" thread fairly recently. Only it was called "Ups & Downs," so you may have smoked right past it.
1-Got a 10000$ random altruist donation for my Peru Project at our photo-expo opening yesterday

1- All this pre-Peru work has take a bite out of my 'music-creating' time (swallowed it whole)
2- I have yet to receive the 2000$ or buy a plane ticket

4- Canadiens
5- My sister needs to step her academic game up or she might have to 'revisit' her 10th grade catalogue

they make the sprikler & timers too. $20 to WALMART can ease your pain. Or you could get a goat & fence, the kids are cute!
Huge things to happen at the same time! I hope your lady is getting some grants--the thought of mortgage + grad school tuition is kinda terrifying. We just got a place and my wife has another year of coursework and then about two years of writing left on her PhD, but we've been very fortunate in that she's been getting fellowships (I pray that they continue) and been working part-time (read: full-time) as a graduate student instructor.
Congrats to you. Where's the house?
Yeah, she needs to get on the grant hunt stat, but she will be working part time too and is going to a state school. Our house is in Richmond VA on the North Side.

1: Just dropped the wakeboard boat in the water. Summer is on
2: Good Records (These Trails & Chris Harwood for $$$, Joe Pass Better Days for cheap!)
3: Promotion (associate brand manager what?) and 20% Raise is a reality. Still living beyond my means though.
4: Planning a trip to Italy and Bhutan in the Late Summer/Fall
5: Free gear from WESC, Stussy, Nike, Creative Recreation and KR3W is always a bonus
Waif
1: Not getting as much exercise as I'd like
Um...can't think of anything negative.
I be on that kryptonite.
1. Link Wray- missing links vol.1 Hillbilly Wolf
2. T.I. - "Why you wanna" (Crytsl Waters comeback)
3. Los Lobos- Kiko (feeling "earnest" lately - see the Boss thread)
4. Art School Confidential - I relate to this movie too much...
5. www.dirtydesign.net - (shameless plug)
Bonus round:
oh yeah- I just got engaged!
1) Got a ridiculous raise/promotion at my job earlier this week
2) Drunk at work right now (tequila in the office)
3) Got a nice, cheap of "Songs of Innocence". I didn't get into digging from the hip hop end, so this is my first Axelrod proper LP. I like it.
4) Blue Notes. Someone I know through work told me she buys records occasionally from some old man that has thousands of jazz records in his basement. He lets her buy them for $1 each. She thinks he has blue notes. If nothing comes of it, I'm still enjoying the ones I have. Lee Morgan was a king.
5)Nice weather.
Bottom 5:
1) Really drunk at work
2) Nice weather and I'm stuck in an office
3) My copy of "Big Beat" skips
4) My planned trip to Chicago may not happen
5) Have to go to a wedding I have no interest in
We've got a bottle of Patron rotating between pods right now.
And this only made the bonus round. Congrats, but I hope your fiance isnt a lurker.
out of the desk and into the open - the latest movement in officework?
we were guzzling havana rum and cokes here on monday.
I be on that kryptonite as well.
Shit, the company keeps beer on hand at all times. Someone brought in a blender today and so the company bought Tequila.
Working with bands and their management deludes us into thinking we're part of that 'rock star' world...
yea, when i worked in "entetainment" tv, it was the same. vodka in the freezer, beer in the fridge and appleton rum in the producer's top drawer.
and to top it off, the basement of the studio had a bar.
I can sympathize
damn your right!
1. UK/France is booked for July
2. Heaps of good records lately
3. Heaps of good live shows lately
4. Just had 2 weeks holiday, got sick so I had to relax
5. New band is going well
Downs
1. It's getting cold
2. My Nan had to get cancer cut out from around her eye, don't know if they got it all
3. Work is getting insane, we are doing Oliver for the production & I don't even like that show before I have to listen to the songs 20000000000 times in the upcoming months. Also Education Review Office is visiting at the end of the month, stressful times.
4. Need to save spending money for trip, I suck at saving.
5. Dishwasher is broke
1. Got to see the re-formed Mothers of Invention two nights in a row, and man, I haven't touched ground in a week. Those dudes are totally of the fucking chain!!! I also got to meet them and had them sign a record! Such cool dudes!
Don Preston's minimoog solo during "PLastic People" with a symphony orchestra backing =
2. Summer's here! Spring all of a sudden decided to catch up in a huge way! Went direct from 10 C and snow on the ground to 22 C and massive sunglasses action!
3. Great records at the fleamarket today. Mint Stan Getz/Astrud Gilberto "Getz Au Go-Go" on Verve among other things. Great chocolate-cake too.
4. Girls look so much better in the sun (not to say they look bad in the winter-time, but I'm sick of that season by now).
5. Found an old, heavily used cassette marked "disco" on the floor in a parking lot. I'm looking forward to hearing what's on it. Mystery-tapes are where it's at.
BricK:
1. During a party last weekend I stepped on a plastic bag filled with broken beer-bottles. A quick visit to the emergency room (accompanied by two very nice girls who felt sooooooo bad for me), and a few stitches/patchwork = I'm on crutches for two weeks. Crutches fucking suck, but at least my arms are getting stronger.
That's pretty much it!
Yay for fives.
