Nico & the Positive Attitudes

Occupy Elm Street

2011-10-19T14:36:00.000-07:00

Neurosis of the liver, brain and legs. Pop Pop Fizz Fizz -

The more things change, the more they stay the same

2011-09-26T08:25:00.000-07:00

Funny! That happened to me once...

2011-08-04T07:09:00.000-07:00

It's opposable thumb appreciation time! Kick it back a few notches and play around a little. Go ahead and treat someone. As the Positive Attitudes prepare to seek recording contracts in Los Angeles - life is seeming highly summery. Enjoy something positive today, on us.

Adventure

2011-05-20T15:39:00.000-07:00

Aviators, tuques, gators and a compass, and the Positive Attitudes explore the great beyond, achieving new heights of attitudinal positivity through adventure seeking behaviours. Blind enthusiasm is the biggest killer and number one hitmaker.

You know what I mean

2011-05-16T18:59:00.000-07:00

The positive attitudes come alive when the baby leaves blossom. I can't get enough. Learn a little about you today; try not to crack in the wind, and do something good.

Let's Squeeze It In!

2011-01-04T13:09:00.000-08:00

Making your way in the world today, takes everything you got.

Birthday Bites

2010-09-09T13:49:00.000-07:00

Brett Michaels, Anthony Kiedis and Dee Snider walk in to a bar...

KkkkPOW!

Ketchup Chips

Tactile. Diverse. Less. Norris. Become. Became. Sex towel. Magnolias. Ferrari. JJJJJ
Jammin number one!!

Insufficient funds

2010-07-25T20:41:00.000-07:00

"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.”

Summer heat.

Spinning your wheels

2010-06-28T10:22:00.000-07:00

Ack!!! Finally, it smells of summer. Pimms, pot and old canvas. Life is good, especially in the sun.

Sigh!

Ride like the wind...

2010-04-23T16:43:00.000-07:00

There's something about this time of year that makes me wanna hit the road. Hitchhike, ride the rails, eat beans outta the can, big rock candy mountain, whiskey, cheap motels, and lots of sun over the dry prairie down to mexico.
mmmhmmm

Let's split.

Defibrillated

2010-03-27T10:44:00.000-07:00

Loosy Goosy goose-stepping. Although the dull grey of early spring doesn't allow for the romanticizing that sunshine and blue sky do, we know we're in for it. Soon it'll be nothing but short shorts...

and car rides...

selflessly indulgent.

2010-03-23T21:48:00.000-07:00

God I miss making a scene at dances.

Dismantle, then reconstruct.

2010-03-18T12:13:00.000-07:00

Buy it up, cruise by it, forget about it, re-visit it, lose it, loosen it, pawn it, read it, fuck it.
The weather's changes can cause all kinds of disturbances to your head space. Navigate slowly soldier.
Regardless, there is sunshine ahead.

Fate, up against your will...

2010-03-12T19:28:00.000-08:00

Favorite make-out song.

My density has brought me to you.

2010-03-07T14:04:00.000-08:00

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough

2010-03-02T19:54:00.000-08:00

Saludos my pretties! Spring is springing! Holy Fucking Crap it feels good. Part of the problem with the North is the ungodly dark and cold. I say ungodly, but who knows, some monks live in darkness and silence believing suffering brings them closer to god. The best part of ungodliness? Hormones. Raging, burning, reminding you of the kind of delicious suffering only found in high school. Thanks spring!

Les gens sont fous

2010-02-13T17:01:00.000-08:00

Talk talk talk. People sure can talk the talk, but when the rubber hits the road, it takes a superb person to live it out. So shut your face, get lost, or be great.

One thing leads to another!

2010-01-02T13:54:00.000-08:00

So what, who cares? It's a new year! I'm gonna wipe the slate clean, wipe my sweaty pits clean, and dream up fun for 2010. Wanna join the fun?

mais Peewee....!?

2009-11-25T17:13:00.000-08:00

Alright, we realize it's been awhile since we've written, but we've been touring, smoking sheesha, and writing hits.

It's the Holidays and it's stressful isn't it? So slip in a night guard and plan for some at-home, couch-warming film festivals to help you disconnect. We'll post some suggested line-ups soon.
In the mean time, Can you tell me which one of these guys is Bruce Wayne?
Hope all is well with you....out there....

The air got dirty and the sex got clean

2009-11-02T17:09:00.000-08:00

The cold is starting to set in. Or is it warmth? Hard to tell from this angle...

Chemical Peels

2009-10-31T17:17:00.000-07:00

BOO!!!

Brrrrrains!

2009-10-24T08:32:00.000-07:00

Skittle your way downtown, moving your muscles to heat them up so they live longer. No clue where this is going. But ain't THAT the truth!

Say yes to scared...

2009-10-20T18:12:00.000-07:00

Keeping to the positive side of things, we've decided to watch halloween related cinematic fun before the day arrives, and all the christmas shit comes out. "Hellraiser" was first. LOved it. Then last night the Positives watched Fright Night. Quelle joyeuse hilarity. Really. Chris Sarandon as a vampire-deluxe. He's sexily accompanied by Rad Guitar every time he walks into a room. Clips for your pleasure, watch or we'll tear your soul apart:

Beware the puzzlebox:

Sometimes Religion finds you...

2009-10-05T18:44:00.000-07:00

Work work work work work work work.
Hmph.

Don't shoot on the couch

2009-10-01T19:55:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, you gotta dance.

Does he have strong lips?

Blazing Blazer Love

Hot Sauce!

2009-09-24T20:45:00.000-07:00

Wow - Zebra Society has it together!
and totally talented volunteers! Life is good!

Here's what we're gonna do...

2009-09-23T17:18:00.000-07:00

Why is patience sometimes so hard to come by? Just relax, don't grind your teeth, deep breaths. Sometimes, nothing helps. You just gotta go through it. Is the process more powerful than the result? Typically, yes.

Did you hear that...

Nico's Snakepit

I think I have a pain, right here.... lower...yeah///

Look - see - observe.

Cold floor, sequins, David Bowie, beer-pong, mucho love.

2009-09-02T08:06:00.000-07:00

Hey pretty babies! A shout out out to all my friends- who help make life the John Hughsiest. I love it. But I'm a European Socialist. From Positive to Positive: xoxo

You too pretty for this worl'

2009-08-16T18:46:00.000-07:00

If you're part of a crew, nobody ever tells you that they're going to kill you, doesn't happen that way. See, your murderers come with smiles, they come as your friends, the people who've cared for you all of your life. And they always seem to come at a time that you're at your weakest and most in need of their help.

Midnight Serenade

2009-08-15T08:39:00.001-07:00

With tracks like "Boogie on your face" and "What ya' think 'bout lickin' my chicken" this album is sure to help you feel dizzy with amor. Amor con senor Cosby.

Little Shadow

2009-08-09T20:11:00.000-07:00

This great day was brought to you by Nicotech, a publicly shared company.

More awkward moments...

Don't be so melodramatic.

Are you there God? It's me, Zuul...

2009-07-17T16:15:00.000-07:00

fruscentuous...

2009-07-15T21:35:00.000-07:00

Ignore the entry on hatred of covers.

Kind of turned on.

Blahz

2009-07-14T21:48:00.000-07:00

Space. Spacey. Sissy. Sassy. Jane. Spot. Stain. and Juanita.

Tonight the Positive Attitudes (with Nico) are featuring songs in the key of hyperreality. Feels so good. So positive.

Get! in!

2009-07-08T21:53:00.000-07:00

The Loyalist

2009-07-07T21:08:00.000-07:00

Don't ever regret being a kind, gentle person. No shame, no lame, no games.
I'm just saying... I've never seen a pistolero in denim I didn't like. Devastatingly loyal.

Fake Empire

2009-07-01T22:07:00.000-07:00

It's important to be with nature everyday. It'll keep your heart ticking.

Drink it.

2009-06-27T23:14:00.000-07:00

When a door closes, a window opens. Though it may have been blasted open in Beirut. You could fly there, or you could hack into cyberspace and create a new window that throws wicked parties and makes you cool by making you fight a biker gang. The window requires you find new uses for your underwear. FYI.

Have gonzo, will travel...

2009-06-26T18:55:00.000-07:00

Who knew life would turn out to be this much work?
I like to include sassy dialogue in mine.

Las Gringas y Magnum

2009-06-22T22:04:00.000-07:00

Wear what you dig. BYOB. Drop your knife and get a gun. Decide the gun won't work and pick the knife back up. Run. Think about the best meal you had last week. Enjoy being horny. Carve a walking stick then burn it on a campfire. Cab it. Or drrrrrive.

Shrimp Plate

2009-06-21T20:31:00.000-07:00

Is this the 50s? Or 1999?

da da da ta da

2009-06-17T23:22:00.000-07:00

Look out Bluto- she's a little nuts and in love the that sailor guy.

Friends with benefits...

2009-06-14T21:01:00.000-07:00

There is no substitute for the moment you realize you have the best friends and family.

Do good!

When the going gets tough...

2009-06-11T22:10:00.000-07:00

The tough get to the clocktower.
Sometimes you feel 2015, sometimes 1985, sometimes 1885.
Tick tock...

It's important to distinguish fabulous

2009-06-06T08:39:00.000-07:00

Go ahead- shave yourself a new hairline!

Let's go for a ride...

2009-06-03T20:46:00.000-07:00

Get your hands dirty and finish off that list of projects you've saved for sunny dayz. It'll feel good to sit back and admire the fruits of your labour. Who cares if others don't see it. You're your own best friend.

Can I get an extra plate please?

2009-06-01T16:54:00.000-07:00

This should be enjoyed properly...

talkin bout them dirty deeds

2009-05-27T20:31:00.000-07:00

Collateral damage. Ultimately, you can't be responsible for someone or something unless you're responsible with yourself. Yourself is who you are and what you want, divided into the following bits: financial, social, physical (food, exercise, sleep) and material. Be responsible with yourself, then others (who are they, what to they want?) Sometimes responsibility fucking sucks, but it's the key to happiness. I swear to Yaweh.

You've been thinking, and I've been drinking...

2009-05-25T16:52:00.000-07:00

Don't you know a rumble ain't a rumble without me?

La lune est libre, je croix...

2009-05-23T17:12:00.000-07:00

Love and lust are magical. But I've always been traditional that way...

Dream Away

2009-05-18T22:05:00.000-07:00

We're waiting for new philosophical/psychological explanations of dreams. Jung at heart. Maybe we connect to the collective conscience in our sleep. Like a daily meeting/battery charging with whatever after death is. Maybe we make decisions and play them out awake. Whatever, Roy and Kyle and Lynch and Rossellini make my motor run.

It's the little things

2009-05-16T17:09:00.000-07:00

When you're lost at sea, remember that you're a fancy lad. Sometimes you get coffee in the face, but that doesn't mean you should stop making fishstick kitties!

we're one, but we're not the same

2009-05-13T21:40:00.000-07:00

You can't always get what you want...

2009-05-11T21:22:00.000-07:00

There's something about getting what you want that's soooour. It might be cliche, but sometimes it's the work, the taking chances, and the unexpected that's far more satisfying in the end. Goals are great, just watch them shape shift. Life is evolution- sometimes we're monkeys, sometimes we're still fish. This deep entry powered by Mac.

2009-05-10T11:39:00.000-07:00

I'm not sweating it either...

2009-05-07T20:02:00.000-07:00

but for motivation:

you make sense to me

2009-05-06T20:44:00.000-07:00

great shorts +
great man wearing a shirt with your name on it with his hand on your breast =
sweet heaven

sun strokin'

2009-05-04T17:02:00.000-07:00

There's a fine line between love and hate. Or maybe just love and disappointment. Disappointment is self created through comparison- dreams or past experience. Dull people experience less powerful disappointment- or maybe dullness is created to ward off disappointment. Huh.
Well- I have no plans to become dull.

Please enjoy this totally terrific photobook.

How was YOUR weekend?

2009-05-03T11:02:00.000-07:00

Fluff your hair, grab a Red Bull, pick up your friends and head downtown.
yes yes yes!!!

Say you will

2009-04-29T20:47:00.000-07:00

What do you do when work and projects and stuff start to make your chest tighten? First- take a deep breath. And then think about how you're a loner and a rebel. Then go for a bike ride.

weekend synth

2009-04-25T09:48:00.000-07:00

There's no deep thoughts today, just the feeling inspired by Ambrosia. Get into that coma where you can just daydream about all your big plans. Spring, grass, and flush cheeks.

Finally, you're here!

2009-04-21T17:11:00.001-07:00

Hi!

I'm so glad you came to visit my blog! I wasn't sure if you would, but you did - because you're so awesome!

You know, I just love you. Really- I think you are just fantastic and I am that lucky to have you in my life. I'm not drunk either, I just really wanted to tell you. Can we hang out again sometime?

Cause I can't help falling in love with you...

2009-04-20T19:30:00.000-07:00

I wonder if Flosstradamus will be there? I think I'm getting something stone-washed that day, right before I get my nails done.

crisse cardiac!

2009-04-17T16:13:00.000-07:00

Hold your horses

2009-04-16T17:32:00.000-07:00

I love it... check out the rest of the shoot @ viceland

Just keep praying for me!

2009-04-16T17:05:00.000-07:00

Tonight, well I'm going to go whore myself out to all the lonely people in the city who can't afford a box of KD and ask myself the timeless question "Who am I?"

And they'll answer because they are jealous of my superior intellect and breathtaking good looks. They lie awake at night torn between their bitterness and envy, their hatred and passion. They can't eat, they can't sleep. Poor bastards.

The above is an excerpt from a draft of an email I wrote in 2001. I laughed when I thought someone else wrote it, then was pleased that it was me.

There have been many of me...

2009-04-14T20:54:00.000-07:00

Can we talk about the remix for a second? I feel like it's the musical equivalent of coloring in a coloring book. "I'm just gonna take someone else's art and dick around with it." Sometimes it's better, you're right - sometimes we can all use a little dicking, but that don't make it kosher. Sample, sure, you're cool, you can stay-

Remix, you're dismissed, but leave me your number...

The problem was always she thought too much of herself...

2009-04-13T17:04:00.000-07:00

There comes a time in peoples lives when they realize they should stop thinking only about themselves, that time is not now. NOpe. This is Twitterica. And we... are twits.

I think I'm gonna like this place...
