so i’m attempting the xanga blog thing, but i’m not really sure if i like it. it’s really easy to use, it’s really easy to link up friends and post comments on people’s blogs, and all sorts of other wonderful stuff. maybe i’m not inspired, i dunno.
so it’s back to the blogger blog for me. oh blogger, how i’ve missed you! but i’m damn well ready to go on to movable type!! >:O
it’s been a pretty great day.
– free in and out burgers for seniors.
– our webcam is now live on blur.co.uk (look for pearl and jer)
– got to talk to vanessa, randolf, mike ouyang, cynthia, jason, and deeps, albeit very briefly.
– made my appointment to take senior pics.
fun fun. it’s nice talking with friends…
coachella was bad-ass. the beastie boys rocked so hard i had heart palpitations. did you know those guys are pushin’ 40? holy cow! queens of the stone age sang and guitar thrashed circles around my head. ben harper and the innocent criminals were so flamin’ hot i had to take off all my clothes (just kidding). and blur! oh, beautiful, wonderful blur! the new stuff rocks ass, the old stuff sounds great, and though graham coxon is sorely missed, new blur is fun too.
wishlist:
– blur – think tank
– the flaming lips – fight test EP
eagerly awaiting:
– X2
– Matrix Reloaded (saw this last friday, OMG why is it still so mindblowingly good??)
… and Identity goes here cuz i just still haven’t had time to see it! aaah!
currently listening to: basement jaxx – rooty
(if you haven’t heard this CD yet, run run run to get yer ears around it!! it’s sooooooo goooood!!)
and some additional album recommendations…
idlewild – the remote part: it is much more mid-tempo than their last album, but it is still quite agreeable if you can dig the rockin’ punky R.E.M. type thing. when they thrash with their guitars, they kick so much booty. they need to do that more, but this album gives a good idea of how they are live. i saw them in concert at the el rey at the beginning of this month. pictures from the show can be found here.
the flaming lips – yoshimi battles the pink robots: if you are reading this blog, you should already own this album by now. if you don’t, what are you waiting for??
… and there’s more but i can’t think of any. you have been spared.
