My Exciting Life, mk. 182
I’ve been a bad boy and downloaded more music than I can listen to for a while. I think I’m pretty set for tunes, as I’ve been grabbing a wide variety of stuff off of slsk. Highlights: Make Believe, Explosions in the Sky, Do Make Say Think (playing at Bottom of the Hill soon…hmmmm), the Minus 5, the new Venetian Snares album, Giant Sand, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, and tons more. I’ve also been trying out Tag & Rename, which has quickly become an indispensable program. I love it.
Been reading a lot of Daniel Clowes comics too. I found a copy of Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron at Tree Horn a while ago, and I downloaded Eightball #22 (the Ice Haven issue, which I haven’t been able to find a physical copy of), and picked up Twentieth Century Eightball at Clark’s. Since I’ve read so much of his stuff lately, I’m pondering a big ol’ post with thoughts/interpretations/impressions of all of it. But of course, that woudl require time and motivation. So chances may be slim.
Went to another Left of the Dial show at the Last Record Store, this time with Life in Braille, Hanalei, Santiago, and the New Trust. I’m shocked that Life in Braille is still around, although somewhat changed, but they sounded pretty good tonight. Still living up to their glammed-out math rock heritage. Santiago was great also; it was my first time seeing them, and apparently, their last time playing. Nothing like being the last one to the party, hmm? The New Trust was the New Trust. They’re good. I skipped out on their set last weekend, to spend some quality time at Volpi’s, since I knew I’d get to see them again soon anyways. And tonight I did. Yay me.
I’m supposed to fix my parents’ computer tomorrow. I think I’m going to have to quarantine them from using Internet Explorer from now on. I already removed tons of viruses and spyware a few months ago, and apparently it’s already in bad shape again. Thinking about going to see Donnie Darko in the evening too…we’ll see how that works out.
More blah de blah coming soon kids….
