What music is everyone listening to these days? I've had an itunes gift card and I don't know what to spend it on. I haven't bought much music lately except for the new radio head album.

This was seriously my fortune at dinner.

"Here we go. Low fat, whole wheat green tea."

I'm still not sure what to make of this.

Yesterday I got tickets to see Feist in Tulsa in April. I'm more excited about this concert than I've been about a show in quite some time. I usually if I get to see bands I really like at all it is after they have already moved on from the material I really liked (e.g. seeing the Red Hot Chilli Peppers now is just now that they are old and mellow ( Read more... )

One of the few perks of my new job is that I can listen to music while I work. I need some good heavy metal to listen to at work. I have plenty of other good stuff I listen to on the job, but sometimes you just need to put up a curtain of noise between you and the world, and I find metal is the way to go.
