"The kind of shit you get on your TV"
I am fucking furious. I just worked for 45 minutes in this fucking blog editor window on a post
about the new System of a Down record and the "oh so stable" Firefox froze up on me. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I should have saved it as I went, BUT I DIDN'T. So in light of my having a day off, I will be lazy and just give you a list of what's new in my iTunes library and whether or not I like it.
System of a Down, Mezmerize, 2005. f'in love it, tied for best of the lot.
Sleater-Kinney, The Woods, 2005. f'in love it, not only tied for best, but my fave S-K album.
Mos Def, The New Danger, 2004. mediocre at best, MAJOR disappointment.
Spoon, Gimme Fiction, 2005. like it, still getting into it.
M.I.A., Arular, "2005". love it in the club, like it in the car, amuse people with it on the couch.
Chris Mills, untitled, not yet released. like it.
Of Montreal, The Sunlandic Twins, 2005 . like it, a bit over the top, growing on me.
The GO! Team, Thunder Lightning Strike, 2004/5, love it. big fun.
more later.
"When love is so strong, there is no right or wrong..."
...so we'll try this again. Nearly a year has passed since my last post. I have listened to countless numbers of albums, singles, demos, shows, etc. I have revelled in new releases and re-discovered classics and personal all-time faves, and how many posts do I have to show for it? zero. That's right - zip.
Needless to say, I have not been lazy. I have continued to rehearse, record, and perform with two of the greates bands in NYC. I have continued to attempt to inspire and educate the youth of Bushwick. I launched a new website. Long in short, I just plum forgot about this thing.
But worry not, faithful readers. I am back from the dead; and as the summer music scene heats up, this will be THE PLACE to find out what I am listening to, where you can come see me and other great acts play live, and maybe even get a few tips on what should be traveling through your earbuds.
In addition to regularly posting again, I am going to try to include (in the sidebar) a list of upcoming shows worth checking out. If you know of any, please feel free to comment on the post or email me. I will also, if you don't mind (and please let me know if you do), make this a more general media blog. While I understand that "just because it happened to [me] doesn't make it important", I figure that if you're here you'll care enough to read and comment. so here we go...
