New home

After much movement and rearranging I am settled into my new dwelling, what does that mean?

• I have cable television for the first time in 3 years which is good I suppose

• I have a blazing fast internet connection.

• I am living by myself without any roommates for the first time ever, I was living with my brother but now I'm in a house by myself.

I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to setup surround sound and perfect my media center/home theater.

So thats my excuse for only one post this month, not an excuse but my reason. How can I tied this into a musical entry, take it away Chris Walla:

Chris Walla - Everyone needs a home



Not bad of an album...well one or two strong tracks, with some great production throughout the whole album. Recommended for fans of Death Cab for Cutie or was that obvious.

I am going to try to work in some consistency and do a post a week, its just that I think my readership is nonexistent so I am not very motivated and I am not very motivated so my readership is nonexistent.

Come outside

Here is what I have been up to (other than keeping indoors with the weather being in the 30s all day today in Dallas): I reformatted my computer and reinstalled everything, started moving into another house the next city over and getting two of my guitars in working condition (still waiting on parts in the mail).

I'm very optimistic about the current year in music. For the first quarter of the year the outlook is very good and here is why:


Why? - Alopecia
Finally the follow up to Elephant Eyelash, very rewarding album so far.

• Why? - The Hollows

Stephen Malkmus - Real Emotional Trash
This album has some great moments but it still ranks at the bottom of the SM solo album list. There are those moments though... those moments.

• Stephen Malkmus - Baltimore

Destroyer - Trouble In Dreams
Pretty good as usual from Bejar

• Destroyer - Foam Hands

Chris Walla - Field Manual
Hey looks like this is really coming out. Still haven't formed a complete opinion on this album but of course its going to be wonderfully produced.

• Chris Walla - Sing again
  

Then there are those wild cards that surprise you, those are the best.
