weh weh weh

Sorry for the absence but i have been passing out every night instead of doing things i need to get done, which is super. getting back into retail hours is always a fun trip.  just no fun hallucinations.

first off, when i get my paycheck you can be sure that 12 dollars will be going to amazon to purchase HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT on DVD so i can always be witness to the glory that is a judas priest show parking lot in glen burnie in 1986. 

second, do yourself a favor and check out the Wax Poetics digital music store, an awesome multi-genre collection of artists and albums that may be a bit more expensive but are selected by the people at Wax Poetics and are not governed by a huge corporation or undiscerning audience.

third, Dreamboat Annie.  perfect for summer and playing while I hot roller/feather my hair before a date with an equally feathered hot stoner named earl who has his own airbrushed van with carpeted interior.  did i mention i currently live in 1977?  time travel's a trip, man.

theres more but i forgot.  damn earl.

Machine Gun

I second Tim, Portishead is awesome, even if I heard Forever 21 playing "we carry on" the other day (whatevs maybe someone awesome is picking out the music, sneaking in awesome shit). 

Oh No you didn't

Timothy Carney, you did not just post about HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. I refuse to believe. 

on another note, check out Mux Find (muxfind.com)

pps, I added Lauren, hooray!

RIAA

Since music is kind of a MO around these parts I found a blog chronicling the RIAA's assult upon music lovers, which I dont know if you have seen. Its called Recording Industry vs. the People and its a sweet place to find out whats going on with the many cases the RIAA has against individuals. On that note, one of the RIAA's main litigators has stepped down to go to Colorado to practice and now the RIAA is in a bit of a flux. Like the multitude of artists creating a free-music trend hasn't created some commotion over there already.

These Music notes are hitting my inner ear hairs and making them vibrate in happiness

1. Black Moth Super Rainbow = fuzzy vocoder psychdelic trippy electronic rock. I'm in lurve. Their album Dandelion Gum came out a little while ago and they are going on tour to support Flaming Lips.

2. Nine Inch Nails = "The Slip" is pretty awesome and you can download it for free.

3. People Under the Stairs = listen to "Acid Raindrops" its pretty sweet indie-hip hop, you will like it if you like Madvillain, Madlib, or MF Doom. And I do so there you go.

4. Tycho = Anything Scott Hansen does is awesome. He's an artist/design/musician from Sacremento/San Franscisco. Its like the love child of BoardsofCanada and Air. He's got some stuff on iTunes but most of it is sold from his website.

5. New Buffalo = Singer/songwriter Sally Seltmann co-wrote 1234 with Feist and is really awesome on her own. I recommend "Cheer Me Up Thank You"

6. TV on the Radio = Listen to "A Method" from "Return to Cookie Mountain." Their stuff is just awesome.

7. Boards of Canada = The japanese B-side for Campfire Headphase is "Macquarie Ridge" and OMG its amazing, I listen to it on repeat.

8. DJ Mehdi = The "Signatune" Thomas Bangaltier edit is awesome. Mehdi is on Ed Banger like Justice and Uffie and all, makes awesome music, and if married to Fafi. perfect.

9. Todd Rundgren = Seriously. Not only is "Something, Anything?"a classic but "A Wizard A True Star" is an awesome experimental album that gave the world "International Feel" which is amazingks.

and also, Things I Did Last Night

and thats it for now.
