Hey.... an update!
I never post, but I'm trying to get a little better at that, so here's an update:
After years of searching, I was finally able to obtain Jeff Mangum's 1993 demos. Holy shit. Seriously, if I never get any more new music for the rest of my life, I'll be content, and anyone who knows me knows that's a big statement from me. I love my music.
Also, I've really been into the whole folk sounding bands lately. Okkervil River (of course, they own my heart), Edith Frost, Mirah, Bonnie Prince Billy, Joanna Newsom are just some of those bands. I've also been listening to some Andrew Bird, Chad Vangaalen, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Animal Collective, Jens Lekman, Songs: Ohia, Wolf Parade, and Frog Eyes. I've actually just been listening to a whole lot of random crap, and I know that no one really cares about what I've been listening to, but if I didn't write this, I wouldn't have too much to update about.
School is alright. Switching from a Literature major to a Physics major is crazy, but at least I've found the major that I'm going to stick with. I absolutely love reading and everything that goes along with Literature, but unfortunately I've been way less than satisfied with any Lit class I've taken at either of the colleges I've been to. Physics, on the other hand, is probably one of the hardest majors ever, but since I'm concentrating in Astronomy, I get to take some cool classes along with the whole Quantum Physics route. I just feel honored to have been asked by some of the professors in the Physics/Astronomy department to strongly consider changing my major to Physics with a concentration in Astronomy. State has one of the best, if not the best, Astronomy programs in the nation. It's pretty dang awesome.
That concludes my update. Hopefully you'll be seeing some more of these this year.
