tryin' to make some sense of this.
so, I really like Mason Jennings. A lot. Also, I got my iScrobbler to scrobble songs from my iPod, which is a huge win. Also, since the spark was lit last night, I listened to Something to Write Home About in its entirety tonight. I really like the Get Up Kids.
I went to Friday's tonight with Jofe, Kev, Kurt, and Justus. That was a lot of fun. Then I flew solo to the Ritz to check out Apocalypto, which I actually enjoyed. For a movie in Mayan (and minimal dialog at that), keeping my attention for 2h18m is pretty good. It was so violent. Mad Mel isn't really a shining example of subtlety, though, is he?
I love Kairos. I'm on my Photobucket and I see pictures from it. Wow, what an awesome time. I wish I weren't exiled from Campus Ministry. Whatevs.
I think i'm going to do my topical talk of the night, then close out with an LJ Cut of some sick Photo Booth pictures. Here we go. The Violent Femmes. Jim brought them up. We both love them. For those of you who aren't as familiar as we, Violent Femmes are a rock band who put out an awesome eponymous record in 1982. most of the songs are about sexual frustration in high school, which is totally cool and not weird-blink-182-esque, since Gordan Gano, the lead singer/songwriter, was in high school when he wrote the material. Anyway, they're the masterminds behind the song you all know, "Blister In the Sun," but the whole album's pretty solid (even though I really don't dig "Confessions.") I think the first four tracks are stellar. Anyway, their line up consists of a singer/acoustic guitarist, a drummer who only plays a snare drum, and a sick bass player who just fills constantly. Their stuff is pretty one-dimensional, as they don't have much choice with that instrumentation, but I love them. That, folks, was Jim's topic. SUGGEST MORE.
Here's those pictures I promised you. I like my friends. And family.
