I just finished listening to Paul Simon - Graceland on vinyl this morning, what an outstanding album.
When I first was exposed to this album I remember listening to it on cassette with my family. In particular I remember a vacation where we listened to it over and over on repeat. We could sing along with all the songs.
I didn ...
I just picked up the M83 joint that I mentioned in a previous post. It was recently released for US consumption. After several spins today I can say it could possibly be considered by some people (me), as a combination of Daft Punk, My Bloody Valentine, and Broken Social Scene. They are also electronic musicians from France as are Daft ...
The last couple of days the weather has been amazing. Its cooled off and is a very un-July temperature. Its making me actually kind look forward to winter. I rather enjoy cold weather.
In one month from now I will be in England. I am getting excited about it. The only other time I've been out of the country ...
I've been very busy at work lately which has been very satisfying. I'm actually getting to write software which is what I love doing and what I went to school for. I don't mind working longer hours sometimes when I'm doing something that I wouldn't even mind doing in my spare time for fun. For ...
I purchased Cocteau Twins - Treasure several weeks ago. I liked a couple of the songs very well initially but I hadn't totally gotten into the album in its entirety until today. I just happened to be in the perfect mood this morning to absorb its beauty. The voice of Elizabeth Fraser is like that of an angel through out ...
I'll tell you what can really get you amped. Drink 2 double espressos, put The Hives - Veni Vidi Vicious on the iPod and run 2 miles. I just did that and I felt like I could run through a wall afterwards.
I'm surprised at how much I still like this album from these Swedish rockers. I really appreciate ...

I obtained Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album the other day for what I considered a quite reasonable price of $8. It really is a great album, I have heard a lot of great things about Wilco for awhile but haven't gotten around to hearing them much until now. Jeff Tweedy seems to be a very inspired and intelligent ...
I'm listening to some excellent sad bastard music this morning. So far I've listened to Elliott Smith - X0 twice today. Now I'm onto Will Oldham - I see darkness, or Bonnie Prince Billy, Palace Brothers, Palace Music, or whatever name he is going by this week. It has gone well with the book about C# that I'm ...
I enjoy trying new imported beers whenever possible, so I got a 6 of one yesterday that was pretty interesting. Carlsberg Elephant. I am a big fan of Carlsberg's regular brew so I decided to give this one a try. It has very sharp looking logo of an elephant on it, one of the more attractive looking beer bottles ...
