Current Music: Silver Jews - American Water
So I think I have a new house! I'll update more on that when it's all for sure, but yeah, it's a pretty sweet deal. I'm quite excited.
Last night I went to this show, The Gossip, which was okay. Their singer was pretty amazing, but I'm not sure how I felt overall about their music. I'll have to give their CD a listen. I did get hit on by this male bartender, a nice little ego boost. I have to say, though, on the whole the show was emo-tastic, not in a good way. You know that haircut a lot of guys get where it's really long in front and kind of all pushed forward, a little spikey? EVERYBODY had it. uber lame. it was an all ages show with a lot of high school kids, which i think was the main problem. also it was a blood brothers show (who we didn't stay for), which might also help explain the crowd.
Head of Femur is tonight... Do I want to go alone? I've seen them like 3 times before. Unless I get together with Cortney or Michael, probably won't go to it.
I'm itching to play with the guys this weekend, but Brian is out of town. Bummer, but Michael and I are probably going to get together tomorrow and just work out some quieter, acoustic stuff, so that'll be fun.
Stuff I've been listening to lately:
The Silver Jews - I think they have a new album coming out I haven't heard yet. It's very 90s indie rock; the singer doesn't actually do much singing, but the music is pretty good, probably due to the inclusion of Stephen Malkmus. Which brings me to another point, why the hell aren't you all listening to Pavement more? I love that band more every time I listen to them. If anybody's inclined I can send you any of their albums.
The Go! Team - kind of like Caribou, mostly just fun dance atmosphere music. pretty good to jog to . this album has been around for a while, but I finally got around to listening to it.
Olivia Tremor Control - yet another fantastic Elephant 6 band, one I should have been listening to a looong time ago
Fruit Bats - not as good as their last album, but still very worth checking out
Here's a few names for our band we've been throwing around (most of them are half-joking):
Uncle Travelling Matt
Songs From and Inspired By The Motion Picture Cotton Candy
The Fucking Awesomes
the monochromatic prime minister and her fleet of small majors
cabinesque
right now we all kind of like Uncle Travelling Matt, but aren't married to it. |
