i bought the new beck album ahahahaha it doesn't suck, but you know. it isn't fkn awesome like his other cds i own. the best song would be gamma ray, i guess, and that does not compare to girl or e-pro or devil's haircut or where it's at or think i'm in love or any of those other songs that just stick out from the rest of his music. maybe it just takes some getting into, i don't know, but it's definitely not my favorite beck album.
i did buy lumpy gravy [zappa] and in the aeroplane over the sea [neutral milk hotel] and they are both excellent. i had heard them both before so i knew this. i have always had a big big big soft spot of NMH. jeff magnum has maybe the most annoying voice in the history of annoying voices but when he sings it makes you want to sit down and cry about how you cannot evoke such emotion like he can. before buying this album, i had heard it many many times, but i guess nothing compares to buying it yourself and listening to it when you're most comfortable. as of now, i would say that this is my all time favorite album, which pushes the violent femmes out of the way. this will be true at least until i buy marquee moon by television, and they battle it out. television has to be my all time favorite punk band, and if you know me, that is saying a lot.
lumpy gravy is a good frank zappa weird album. there are two songs on it, they are both 15 minutes long, and it is apparently the follow up to we're only in it for the money, which makes sense because there are a lot of the same noises on this album. i think i should've bought like 2 more zappa albums because they were having a sale on zappa stuff, i guess? and i plan to collect all of his albums before i die hopefully.
also: in rainbows is fantastic, i like it better than the bends and ok computer, at least. post is wonderful, duh. window city is weird and quirky and has the best song ever on it: the old hag is sleeping. you can't find it on youtube, I TRIED. absolutely free is still my favorite zappa album.
i talk about music too much.
