Felt terrible all day
So I listened to Muse’s Black Holes & Revelations at the behest of Kendra. I didn’t like it nearly as much as Absolution or Origin of Symmetry but it was still really good. I am still shocked that I actually am enjoying listening to them. I used to be so adamantly against them.
Also, Kendra’s mention of watching Metropolis the other day has made me watch it again tonight. I...

Midi & the Modern Dance...
I might as well do this.
Other people are doing top 10 albums of 2010, so here are mine, in no particular order:
David Byrne & Fatboy Slim - Here Lies Love
Daughters - Daughters
The Black Keys - Brothers
The Acacia Strain - Wormwood
Direct Hit! - #5
Los Campesinos! - Romance is Boring
Murder by Death - Good Morning, Magpie
Nana Grizol - Ruth
Paul Baribeau - Unbearable
Titus Andronicus - The Monitor
“Growing up
really fucking sucks
I’ve got too much stuff
I don’t...”
– Andrew Jackson Jihad - Growing Up
The brevity and honesty of Sean Bonnette’s lyrics are refreshing in a scene full of ‘deep metaphors’ that mean nothing and soulless word-pandering. In short, I love this man and I want his moustache.

Soooo bored.
Watching Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated and trying to quell my headache. I need something exciting to do.

Personal Space...
A book recommendation
I just started The Devil’s Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea, and it’s amazing. It’s about a section of land on the Arizona/Mexico border and the 26 Mexican men who attempted to cross it. Only twelve survived. Urrea’s writing style is warm and personable, and he handles the topic with dignity. So far it seems unbiased, being fair to both the immigrants and Border Patrol. Check...
Tumblr has been weird tonight
Taking forever to load, double posts, not loading at all. Error messages galore. Is everyone else having these problems?
I'm regressing...
back to listening to only mathcore and folk-punk. For the last few days, I’ve mainly listened to The Number Twelve Looks Like You, Paul Baribeau, The End, and Ghost Mice.
I have decided The Number Twelve Looks Like You’s Put On Your Rosy Red Glasses is the best concept album about Albert Fish ever. Although it may be the only concept album about Albert Fish. But hey. It’s...
Reblog if you aren't going to have a New Years...
Unless someone awesome comes along in the next couple days. Fingers crossed, I guess?
Finally switched to Google Chrome
Sooooo much better than Firefox. Oh my.
Also, it’s very very cold in my room. Like, 40 degrees. I’m curled up in a comforter, watching Metalocalypse, and browsing tumblr. It was a long day at work and then I had to help a coworker in the freezing cold who’s car battery died. I can’t wait until I warm up.
Recommendations?
Anyone want to suggest things that I can post more about? Did you start following me for the music posts? Movie posts? My writing? My ramblings and health complaints?
What do you want to see more of?
I have a fever and a headache
So I am going to go to sleep. I get to work an 8-hour shift tomorrow, and it’s the day after Christmas. Oh lordy. I hope everyone had a nice relaxing time with family and friends today. As some of my followers may know, my family doesn’t do anything with holidays, but I sorely needed the day to relax and do nothing. Especially since I feel so sick.
Welcome!
All my new followers…I’m not sure why you started following me, but I am okay with this! I hope I’m not a complete disappointment! Enjoy!

I had a dream last night...
that someone created a children’s book series by taking old folk stories in other languages, poorly translating them to English on purpose, and then illustrating them. I remember one bit about a zombie on a jet-ski, and another part about a Hydra playing in a rock band.
I also remember dreaming that it received terrible reviews on Amazon because no one got the joke.
Radiohead & Fans Offer Haiti Benefit Concert Film
twentyfourbit:
Radiohead kicked off the year by raising over a half million dollars at their relatively low capacity Los Angeles concert for Haiti relief in the wake of the country’s catastrophic (7.0) earthquake. Now a group of laudably intrepid fans have — once again — compiled footage shot by the audience in 2 high-quality formats for a Radiohead-approved concert film.

What a day.
So I’m stuck in the middle of an argument between an old friend and his roommate (who is also a good friend, and my manager at work). I want no part of it, but here I am. Just got called a ‘dumbass’ by the old friend because I told him that they were both being stubborn and they needed to try to see things from the other person’s perspective. I give up trying to be nice to...

Sufjan Stevens, The National Members Christmas...
twentyfourbit:
The National’s Bryce and Aaron Dessner stopped by BBC 6 with Arcade Fire’s Richard Reed Parry on Friday, spinning a couple dozen tunes and discussing their past collaborations. Most notably, the trio took the seasonal opportunity to finally share a pair of long-lost Christmas songs — “Silent Night” and “Barcarola” — they recorded with mutual BFF Sufjan Stevens a few years back.

What a stressful awful day. My headache has been splitting, worse than usual. The new meds my doctor gave me last week aren’t doing anything. Work was incredibly busy and I had probably the worst customer I’ve ever had in the four years I’ve worked retail. And I get to go back tomorrow morning and work all day. Whoo.
I was excited that this last semestre of classes ended, but...
Sonic Youth 'Simon Werner' Soundtrack Details...
twentyfourbit:
Less than a week after breaking the news about Thurston Moore’s Beck-produced solo LP, now we have details for Sonic Youth’s next release: the soundtrack to French thriller Simon Werner a Disparu, which — as reported in the spring — premiered at Cannes earlier this year. The digital OST will drop on January 25, followed by a physical release in February on a yet-unspecified date,...

WOW
I laughed about this for WAY too long. But it’s beyond the truth. I swear even my own face looks different after I clean my glasses.
So true.
Watched Inception
…for the first time. Oh wow. Brilliant, brilliant film. Christopher Nolan continues to amaze me. Ever since I saw Following, I knew he was going great places.
One more class...
and I’m done with this semestre. I got an A on my unfinished novel (which was the only grade in my Fiction class) even though it was 16 pages short from the minimum of 50 pages, and I got a 99.65 in my Physics class. I’ll find out tomorrow how I did in my Middle & High School Teaching class, which I’m finishing up tonight. Then I get a few weeks off to relax, watch movies,...

twentyfourbit:
Andrew Bird quietly released the latest installment of his Fingerlings series earlier this month as an 11-track collection of live songs he performed last year at Chicago’s Fourth Presbyterian Church — where he is currently wrapping up another run of dates — for his Gezelligheid solo concert series. Included on the LP is his stunning rendition of Cass McCombs’ “Meet Me Here At...
Completely delirious
It’s almost 3 in the morning, and I need to finish writing 50 pages in this novel for noon tomorrow. I’m at 32. I’m losing my mind, so much so that I’ve invented a sandwich called the hamsplosion.
Slow night
I watched Gran Torino and it was awesome. Now I’m going to watch Black Dynamite. I’ve heard really good things, but it looks awful. We will see.
