ten good things (june 2006, better late than never)

10. so, my official (fake) reason for holding off on this post is that i wanted to wait till i'd seen the boredoms at the starlight ballroom friday night, which was even more fantastic than i figured it'd be. i guess technically i saw the vooredoms, which is the official name of the new, three-drummers-at-once fourpiece version of the boredoms ( Read more... )

jay's actually in williamsburg now! figured you'd like that itavayla song... you'd probably love the peleshian stuff too, if you haven't seen it... totally the sort of thing you might actually already have laying around...

nice entry lostcosmonaut July 3 2006, 12:19:22 UTC
i find it to be opinionated but also nice.

Calling Out of Context is a great favourite of mine, wish there were more releases like it! (Ain't been able to track down Another Thought.)--mza.

yeah, i don't have another thought either... i think anew compilation of his was just released though, not that i know much about it.

arthur russell makes really good cleaning music, btw. good for organizing and stuff like that.

i am. i'm dschank. but i haven't been on it for a while, because i'm about to dump all my music onto an external hard drive, so i've been trying to save memory. plus, i've been dog-sitting all week at my parents. when i resume soulseeking, i'll add you to my userlist, etc.

I always hope to and never succeed to have one of those striking weird conversations with a clerk like I would hope. Sometimes, he or she makes a face, but other than that, I never get the excited talk.

Except for once when I was 17 and the guy complimented me on my Me First and the Gimme Gimmes selection...

i debated dedicating number one to you danschank July 3 2006, 21:19:28 UTC
since you're the king of contrarian opinions....

i rarely have those kind of interactions myself. i'm not particularly friendly to random strangers i guess. but kung fu has a way of seeming like a secret society or something. people get all like "whoa, you're into that?" it's good.

nice animated gif!

The only thing I am king of is Joss Whedon mistercreepy July 3 2006, 22:13:23 UTC
I guess that means I should agree that I am the king of contrarian opinions.

Eat that Dan!

As usual, excellent post.

The last bit of Sheltering Sky reads as if you've been sitting in the desert heat too long. Which is obviously a great thing.

the shel;tering sky is so one of my top 5 all time favorite books. top 3 even.

i totally agree with you that the experience of reading the book is akin to tthe setting of the novel?

danschank July 3 2006, 21:21:09 UTC
yeah, but more to you and me than to, like, the poor lady in the book!

i hear ya though... it gets more physical and weird the longer you read it.

that was honestly the best time i've seen them (which is three times, though the first was at lollapalooza even earlier than the show mentioned above... ugh i'm old).
