I went on a bit of a music shopping spree the other day to collect the songs I’d been jotting down from BBC Radio One and other XM stations (The Pulse, The Blend, etc.). I wanted to note which songs I got and interesting lyrics from a few of them.

• Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions (album)
  I pronounce it “al-uh-min-ee-uhm”

Back in Pleasant Hill, and back to work after a few (wonderful) days in Columbus. I got to enjoy snow, Mojoflo, and the best company in the world, M. She made dinner for me on my birthday, with ceviche, a roast, cheesecake, and wine. We even dressed up, and I think we both looked pretty great (although in my case that was mostly reflected ( Read more... )

Oh, so I took note of the songs I heard on BBC Radio One today. Here are some of my faves:

Also trying to merge my two iPods and build some playlists for the trip. I have a lot work to do here.

Tomorrow promises to be a busy day. I’m going ( Read more... )

Just got the following CDs from Amazon:

1. Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog Soundtrack
2. When the World Comes Down (The All-American Rejects)
3. Coming to Terms (Carolina Liar)

Yayness. \o/

Just wrapped up another fun, long, and rambling phone call with Morgan a while ago. Good times.

Also forced myself to listen to Stars are Blind, a song [performed] by Paris Hilton… Rather better than I expected. Her people are definitely earning their keep. Meanwhile, I’m left wondering if I’m being given a hint here or if this is just a crazy ( Read more... )
