faux punk

There are two types of people in the world.  Those who bore witness to Daft Punk’s life-altering pyramid show, and those who did not.  Quite happily, I’m one of the former (Red Rocks + Vegoose, baby).  Trying to describe the event to everyone else is Read more

to owen, with love - part 1

The best blow job of your life.  How much would you pay for it?  Owen Moore had never considered the question.  Then he found the answer.  It was one thousand, seven hundred, thirty three dollars.  He hadn’t paid for it, exactly.  His company did.  This year’s annual bonus had gone to very good use indeed.  A round trip ticket for him; Denver to Las Vegas, Frontier Airlines.  Round trip ticket for her; Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Southwest.  One, strip view mini-suite at the Bellagio, overlooking the fountains.  One, king sized bed.  Two nights.

The blow job of the century happened on the first. Read more

placebo - battle for the sun review

An odyssey of sex, drugs, regret and revelation, “Battle For The Sun” finds Placebo in familiar territory, while delivering their most consistant album yet.  Raw, punchy guitar work infuses most of the disc, with occasional electronics adding a moody sheen to the mix.  Brian Molko has always Read more

smoking update : 8 months on

I puffed my first cigarette on October 29th, 2008.  I remember the day because it’s tied to a positively awful event in Cash life that can remain untold.  It happened by accident, as life’s most divine pleasures often do.  A friend of mine left a Camel light sitting on my coffee table after a decidedly debauched after-hours get together @ casa de Cash.  That afternoon, eying the thing with anxiety laden eyes and a heavy heart, I decided “what the hell”.  It was.. luxurious.  A blast of Read more

a thank you to lexi fey; 5 months in the making

With as much time as I spend online, you’d think I’d be all over any references to TGOC.  Well, I seem to have missed a pretty sweet one indeed.  Introducing Denver area DJ and diva of tech-house-crunch excellence Lexi Fey. Her sets, a bone rattling, rump shaking orgy of Read more

thank you thank you thank you

Huge Cash thanks to TGOC disciple, artist extraordinaire and all around ‘it’ girl Christie.  She saw fit to submit an entry for the site to Dazed Digital’s blog awards competition.  Entries are accepted through 7/31.  I’m not sure if they’re leaving it up to a vote after that, but if so, expect plenty of bribes and begging for everyone’s support to follow.

Thank you, kind Ms.

See her submission here

phrase of the day

New Cashism for your vocabulary improving pleasure; “high proof hijinks”.

It’s just what you’d think it is, ya lushes.  Thanks to Erica for the inspiration; our conversation regarding one of her jaw-dropping weekend benders led to it.

TGOC readers; may the high proof hijinks be with you, and also with you.

avoid disappointment in two not so simple steps

Disappointment is devious.  It always starts out small.  “Starbucks is out of chocolate syrup?  How disappointing.”  “I totally deserved that promotion. I’m so disappointed.”  But disappointment builds.  It compounds with interest.  It somehow.. lingers.  It gets up in your business more than you know.  Ask any five year old what’s the worst thing their parents can say to them?  “I’m so disappointed in you.”.  Oh, it’s a powerful force in our lives.  I made a choice a few years ago that’s prevented a lot of pain.  I decided to save disappointment for the truly important stuff.

When you’re disappointed in something, you’re giving that something power over you.  Over your mood.  Over your existance.  Why do that with trivial nonsense?  Nowadays, there are a shit ton of things that ‘annoy’ me.  Gawd lawd, the list would fill ten volumes.  You probably annoy me at times.  But it’s rare, oh so incredibly rare, that anything on earth disappoints me.  Disappointment can last a lifetime.  I don’t give just anyone, or anything the right to effect me so powerfully.

So how’d I do it?  I thought you might ask.  Read more
