A Little too late? I'm so into this song, and apperently I'm obsessed with this man (I can't believe I just linked that...whatever). This post is blatent blog thievery, but I can't help it. I just want to bring pop covers to the masses.
That I love Grizzly Bear! It's been almost a year since I first heard their LP Yellow House and their new EP Friend is out. Slightly one dimentional music has never bothered me but it's fun to see when music I suspect fits this category doesn't actually.
...to download In Rainbows. And if it's your style, it's worth your cash too... I heard Weird Fishes/Arpeggi on college radio today. It was nice (... not actually this version. I just like this version).
Anyway, there are probably a million and a half blogs about this album right now, and i'm happy to join the numbers. And if you haven't heard or heard of this album yet, I don't know where you've been. I didn't give all the internet hype over this album much consideration, but now that I actually have In Rainbows I'm happy I do. I like it. Radiohead is just a solid band. You might even like them a year form now...
I've been into Tom Waits lately. I don't know what it is, but lately I've been re-evaluating music I didn't think I liked. But Tom is pretty awesome, and the thing about music is that no matter how much you think you know about it, really you don't even know the half of it.
I just realized that this will be my second post that has to do with an actor/artist who was also in Coffee and Cigarettes. It's a shame i didn't like this movie becaue I could have gotten intoGZA and Tom Waits earlier (still a 'no' on the white stripes though... so far) and would probably feel less lame about referencing it so often...
PS- I don't really like Scarlett Johansson, but I think this is going to be funny. I love how she didn't even ask him before she started. He found out by reading the paper...
Lately, I've been finding myslef looking forward to Mondays. Monday means working and the the end of the weekend, just like during any other time, but I still like them. Mondays means the new This American Life podcast. I seriously love it. If you've never taken the time to listen to This American Life, you have to! It's been around since 1995 and has almost 1.7 million listeners a week (so I'm not going to pretend like I'm exposing you to this amazing new thing or whatever). I used to think it was hard to get in to, but the more I listened, the more interesting and enthralling it was. And usually is. I know Summer from the OC called This American life 'that show where they make regular people sound interesting' and it's true, and in many ways, I think that's the best part about it.
