Jamaica Girls
Hey there bloggermaniacs, I haven't forgotten about you.
Jamaica Girls (insert Spiked Punch joke here) put this record out in 1983 and it was mixed by Larry Levan. It's funky.

I want to build a mini-golf course so badly.
"Better science through mini-golf may not immediately sound like an educational breakthrough, but there are a couple of reasons for optimism. First, there’s the native genius for this sport. While American students keep getting outscored in international science tests, American mini-golf designers have long led the world in technologies like windmill obstacles, loop-de-loops, moving drawbridges, laughing pirates and steaming volcanoes."

Favorite Song
Hey there blogger-maniacs. I feel like I haven't been living up to my responsibilities as a blogger. After all, this is the 502nd post on the Casa Vista blog. You, the reader, deserve more!
My job was out of control the past month, but I'm ready to recommit myself to the blogoworld. Here's a song by the one and only Smokey Robinson.

What the Driven Drink
These are the lyrics to a Thee Oh Sees song called "What the Driven Drink" off the "Sucks Blood" LP. Thee Oh Sees are my favorite band, and to my knowlege these lyrics don't exist anywhere else on the interweb and are at times unintelligible from the record...i got em from the source via myspace inquiry. fuck ya myspace! fuck ya Dwyer! This song kicks ass...
What The Driven Drink
so, what do you think
they would have us drink, when all drivers pull aside?
will it be cool crisp and clear will it be drugs?
so we dont care anymore.and oh, lo and behold its like a driver whos lost all control.
so, lets not be bold, and ruin times as of yet unfolded and cry out "homicide" cool crisp and clear , drugs so we can go get out of here, and oh lo and behold its like a driver whos lost all control.
