new music always makes me smile...
so i finally made the trek up to neptune records today. it's been far too long since i've purchased some good sounding shit, and saw my friends there. nathan was even there and i got to talk to him for awhile!
so you wanna know what i bought!?
well during my discussion with nathan, he recommended the new "minit" album to me, titled "now right here". he claimed that it might be his album of the year, and it's pretty fuckin' fantastic. one of minit's first debuts was on the "motion-movement in australian sound" compilation earlier this year. since then, they've obviously been productive, as this gem comes off being one of those geniusely beautiful albums that you can't help but love. it's the kind of music where opinions in genre become non-existent as it's absolutely impossible for someone to not appreciated something so flawless and down-right georgeous. it's one of those albums that makes me feel like the first time i heard jim o'rourke's "i'm happy, and i'm singing, and a 1,2,3,4". something that makes (for example) music at the magic stick seem so superficial, when compared to an album like this.
i also bought the sonic youth 1-5 syr series that i've wanted for awhile. haven't heard them all yet, but so far so good. i mean, it's sonic youth for christ sakes! like it could be bad!?
also purchased was a new monolake 12" which stuns me everytime i hear a new one by him.
today i finally got a chance to ride my new bicycle around with matt and we went cruisin'. we stopped by camp ticonderoga, got a couple beers, then came back to his house. i like riding bikes.
also today, i got another interview! some place called qc media in livonia wants to hire me full time to do dvd authoring and pay me sacks full of money to do so!!! just kidding about the latter, but i'm sure it won't be bad pay.
this weekend i finally get to see tadd on sat. we're going skating in ann arbor that night. it's been so long since i've done something so bad fuckin' ass (bfa).
last night i went with lea, ryan, and lilly to the attic in hamtramck. this monday night thing is becoming a regular. lea gets the beers on the way down from flint, i arrive there at 10, we watch wrestling until 11, then head to the bar. i'm glad regular nights like that are coming back.
