finally a few seconds

so lately things have been pretty much utter chaos in the land of tonewad ... lets see what things first come to mind when I think of what might seem interesting to outside viewers hmmmm....

well first and foremost the dates for pfork were finalized on friday ... July 17 - 19 .... happy birthfuckingday to me. Also rt tix from buf to ord are currently at 98 fucking dollars. prelimiary goals for the weekend: stay at the downtown hostel, go to the underground after hours bar, and get a bring back a souveir.

second ... get the "Dark was the Night" album. Its pretty fucking sick. I am completely enamored with the Sharon Jones and Dap Kings song ... Sufjan on a hip hop track, this is probably my favorite new album of the year thus far.

with that last thought still in mind the disappointment continues in '09. 200 million thousand is a let down. The coconut records album is not nearly as catchy as the first one. Until I got dark was the night, i was not really into anything.

my record player is amazing. i haven't named her yet. oh, its definitely a her. she is beautiful, smart, multi talented, forgiving, and has the most beautiful voice i have ever heard. she is perfect.

if anyone knows about any cool record stores in roc let me know about them. and or lets go together!!

i would agree with the assessment that hte dark was the night comp is statement about the current state of indie music as it seems there is a similar vibe going on through the entirey of the album. and i can see where that can be a shortcoming of the album, and kind of pigeon hole's the genre. however, my argument is the sounds on the album are exploratory and full and multi layers exsquisite assemblages by some of the best artists around (and maybe that could even be better put "by a lot of the best artists around"). It is a fucking amazing comp and one that guarantees that if you like any of the bands on the album you will enjoy the entire album for certain.

thats all i can do for now, duties call.

  1. yeah. i've definitely been looking for something. After the MPP storm cleared and after I realized my love for the Noble Beast was unrequited and that I realized I could never find an eternal interpersonal connection with the Beast as it is a masterpiece bred from reclusion...
