• I honestly never understood the whole shawty thing, but this is going to be abbreviated.

• Somehow, Johnny Foreigner has remained incredibly interesting and relevant over (almost) 4 albums now and a shitton of singles. Waited Up Til It Was Light is probably going to become my official #1 album after seeing songs from it live.

• The new version of The Echo & The Light by Castevet is amazing. I think I’d like it just for Six Parts Summer, but the rerecords all end up sounding way sharper. It’s like the band knew what they wanted from the mistakes in the first version, which is what they DIDN’T want.

• Wilco’s A Ghost Is Born made its way into my CD rotation for some reason. I guess I A) Forgot how mellow it was, and B) how good it was. The eight minute epic on track 3 is terrific (and so ballsy).

• I’ve been listening to a lot of the Homestuck soundtracks, both on my CD and in the car. Homestuck is very complicated, but the music is amaaaazing.

• There’s been a bunch else, but in particular - I listened to Los Camp’s! Romance is Boring all the way through again. The more I listen to it, the more I’m convinced that entire album is written about Aleks.

• Oh, and a Pancake Haus show coming up on the 9th. excited excited excited
