I just saw this girl get chased down the street by a pigeon.  The bird did this kinda swoop right by her head, then came back around.  She dropped her her bag, did one of those crazy duck and circle moves and then started straight running.  It was hilarious.  She was this small asian girl, decked out in her ultra-cool hipster outfit looking like an urban outfitter’s model.  Then this bird rolls in and fucks up her whole vibe.  Fuckin’ nyc pigeons man, like flying rats.  Sometimes seems like they just like to fuck with us.

Ok, this record came out a while ago, but I just found out about these guys the other day and I feel like they deserve some attention.  South San Gabriel is one of many projects by Will Johnson.  I think he plays all the instruments on this record, but I’m not sure.   These tracks came from their 2005 release ‘The Carlton Chronicles: Not Until the Operation’s Through’ on Misra records.
