Adam Quarterly
Well, time for my quarterly post. There is a very good impetus for this one, and suprisingly enough it is not heavy metal based. I got to see Shugo Tokumaru tonight. He is a wonderful Japanese experimental pop artist (or that is how I hear his described). I know a few people who might end up reading this are big fans. He really has only played ( Read more... ) -
Ohhh, I like Your Size
So I am listening to what is pretty much quantifiably the best rap song ever, Warren G's "Regulate." But that, I assure you, is not what I am here to talk to you about. I am here to talk about something else, after I relate semi-interesting events. First, Ellen (from Portland) and Stuart (from Australia) visited me. It was awesome. We drank lot ( Read more... ) -
Screech Owl, I Am The Chisel
Happenings of late - I started running, and I beat Guitar Hero 3 on expert. I am the unbeatable lord of the five buttons (perhaps the Lorde of the Fyve Magicks, if you prefer). However awesome as those two things may be, I am here to relate a brief story.
I went to the record shop in order to by the new Autechre and Ladyhawk albums (neither of which ( Read more... ) -
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate
I finished The Inferno today! I have been wanting to read it for so long. Now I can read the last two canticles of the Comedy, and be a little more cultured. Basically if I ever grow a pair enough to start a metal band, all the song names I'll ever need can be found therein.
I used a gift certificate I got for my birthday to buy Earth's debut album ( Read more... ) -
None So Vile
So maybe I can consider this somewhat of an intervention. Maybe not so much that as a sanity check. I went to the record store to buy some Mountain Goats tickets. Okay, cool, mission accomplished. Unfurl the banner on the aircraft carrier, right.? not quite. I realised that I had left the store with 5 CDs in tow, all bought used. Nothing unordinary ( Read more... ) -
And the gunslinger followed
So, holy crap, I just finished Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Now, it is not a super amazing book, but it is something I remember starting, rather vividly, almost 10 years ago. Yeah, it has been a long time coming. I got the last 2 volume almost solely because I couldn't think of anything else to ask for for christmas. Basically everything kind ( Read more... ) -
Music!
Holy shit a new Shugo Tokumaru AND and a new Christine Fellows album in the same week? This is surely one of the seven signs of the apocalypse ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So someone on an internet forum wanted to know what everyone's favourite end of album songs are, o I made up a list of my top 25. If you want to know about them follow the cut! I am kind of sad to see that my favourite artists don't always have my favourite album closers. Especially the weakerthans, and kind of to Matt Good (although the last song ( Read more... ) -
I have a job now!
It is a real person job! More later!
I am moving now! Exciting times! -
Wedding!
I went home this weekend, the major reason, as the astute reader will have probably figured out by dint of the title of this entry, was for a wedding. Now I have been to a fair number of weddings - probably about 6 or 7 in my lifetime. This, however, was the first one I had ever been to where the married couple (or at least any half) were friends ( Read more... )
