augie

this one speaks for itself. it's santo and johnny. haunting. or maybe we can come up with a more original description. we'll work on it. we'll work on it like we're working on our second million. not at all. but let's move on. everything moves on. people. seasons. months. july has moved on. sniff. a new friend is here. hello augie. where you been hangin out? we've been waitin fer ya. augie your cool 2.

take the air

"How breezy are you?" "How breezy do I have to be?" "Not at all but also quite a bit. Okay?" "Okay. Cue the broad and pour the booze." ....and that's how it goes when you are cool and breezin' and floating from July to August with no cares. That is how and this is what you listen to when you do what you do to get to where you are.

Coolesce

Do you like the night? I do. Do you like the water? Mucho. How about bright glittering lights on bridges? Sure, you say. Then you'll enjoy Cool Change from LRB. Then there is The Cool Out by The Clash. And you should do just that....because we welcome you to a little theme called The Milkshake's Two Weeks Of Cool. If you have anything to share (music, art, books, life in general that expresses your apres cool) let us know. Use the Comments button below to leave a post or go tweet it at trb4320 or let me know by text or email or carrier pigeon. Welcome to our super stylish, july-is-morphing-into-august, double-entendre, triple-thick, quadruple-chilled, soothingly, unifyingly, transmogrifyingly, and totally coolificatingly "Two Weeks Of Cool", brought to you by your favorite quiet little wee corner of blogiverse. Cool, huh?

the way you feel inside, but feelin it outside

We luv us some summer rain don't we? Yessssssuuummm! Thank god there is a sedaka to make us feel like the rainstorm sounds--and tastes! And do you dig laughter in the rain? Then go for a stroll. The milkshake is blogging right now in it....and laughing!! Okay our robots are here but not hooked in to the tower yet. But we will prep them and make them tre comfy and they will be ready and you will know it soon. But they will be ready either tonight or tomorrow so keep coming back and tell more of your friends. BTW--Scientists, where are you? There is science in rain and in laughter and of course robots so get yer rhombus over here. Feetnote: There were more than a thousand views last night so the word is gettin' around. Three of you have already contacted us with comments/questions for our 'bots. Cool! Keep 'em coming. Remember to use the comments below or tweet me at trb4320 or shout as you roll past the milkshake blog office anything you'd like a robot to dish. One final note: there will be imagess of the bots posted so make sure to check 'em out. Along with all their robotical jargon. The next post is all them. See ya soon. Later alligator!

10 cent coke and a spastic creep

How was your July 11 slurpee today? Checking the stars and moon? What is your sign? How is your aura? Ok, peel off your worries and calm it down a notch. Time to drop you some content. Our guest bloggers are here in town and they will be plugging in to the blog shortly. Check back often and keep an eye on us. They are robots and they will answer you automatically. Their diodes will fire off and their circuits will heat up. Use the comments box down below or the other ways you know of to fire your queries in to us. And now we open our Mailbag questions: Q: how old are you? A: Old enough to remember 10 cent cokes, and fifteen cent hamburgers! Q: is space and time one and the same, and will we time travel? A: Ummmm, yes and, yes, naturally! Q: do you give your staff time off during the winter? A: Too personal! Q: if you were a color which specific hue would it be? A: Bacardi Gold, natch! Last Q: will we ever reach nirvana? A: We've reached it already, didn't you know, now kick back and relax. Here's a little blast of warmth for your pleasure. How's YOUR bod, cousin?

spoil it all

Are you summerin' it up good? Are you dialing up wls 94.7 and rockin? Do you got your johnny b. goode crankin? Ok. Hit the frogger. Hit the fast lane. Hit the fishin' hole. Hit the iced latte. Hit the icee. And hit dat thang too while your groovin' along. All systems go up in the tower over here. All lights green. All switches pulled. Meanwhile 7 and 7.... There's a special someone out there....you know who it is....your baby....maybe you've said something stupid you wish you could take right back....but then again maybe not.

and that's all right with me

Spirit of America was Craig Breedlove's turbojet. He flew along the ground in it and brought attention to the Bonneville Salt Flats. Brian Wilson waxed this tune in honor of him years later and we as a country went nuts over it as patriotic. Also, as long as we're gulpin' the 70s, let's throw Chevy Van in there and twofer yer ass up all day long. Happy 238th anniversary baby!

Enchante. Dream Skyward. Ah July. Ahh Blue. Ahhhhhhhhhh
