I have been negligent in my livejournal reading and posting.  It seems like a great many days since I have been here, reading your journals, keeping up with what is happening in people's lives, replying and basically keeping the channels of communication open.  Same applies to e-mail, with messages awaiting response.  This has simply been one of

S is for skim

[chevrefeuilles]

Which is what I just did with your last week of posts. It's funny that you're listening to "C" music. My favorites tend to pile up as "S": Smog, the Soft Boys, Sebadoh, Siouxsie and the Banshees. And now, with this latest album, the Shins. I also used to keep a folder of jazz-cabaret mp3's labeled "Standards".

Have you succumbed to the evil of Myspace? Let me know, per my last post. Thinking of you -

Well, as it happens, I am right now on to the letter S: Steely Dan. I am listening to the first 5 albums in order. As least until I can finally go to sleep.

I most certainly have not succumbed to the "evil of Myspace," as you put it. Most of my nieces are on there, as well as my oddball friend Juan Blanco, so I have considered creating an account just to keep up with them. But... I just can't do it! It is just too... too... god, I can't think of the right adjective! Slimey comes to mind, but that is very imprecise. Whatever... point is, I can't stand the place.

Oh, and awhile back, I got an e-mail saying I had a new message from you on last.fm, but when I logged in, no such message was to be found.

Mmm, skimmm

Oh, come on. Come to MySpace. You can be an old curmudgeon among young people with G and me. The thing is that I have two young sisters and many coworkers who use it all the time. Got to stay in the groove and all that.

Uh, last.fm. Maybe it was a notice about the long message I sent. Can't remember if I replied to your reply. Thank you for the recommendation (Petra Haden?). I will listen when I can savor it. Perhaps with the new WMP plug-in for Last.fm listening will work better.

The new Shins album is so good. I hope I don't tire of it, because it's on the store's playlist this month.

MySpace: As I say, I'm thinking about it...

Last.fm: I very rarely log-in there anymore... once every 8 or 9 days, I would guess...

I am still playing catch up when it comes to The Shins---Oh, Inverted World sitting here on the desk waiting to be listened to... and possible ripped...

Petra Haden, incidentally, used to be a Decemberist.

mostly music

Petra Haden: that's interesting
