Started this morning out with the This Week In Science podcast, which is always a informative (though the people they were interviewing this week were rather painful to listen to, sadly). Then put on the New Pornographers' "Electric Version" and TV on the Radio's "Young Liars."
I'm having a nineties day, for no better reason than that VLC is chucking them up when I randomise.
Lots of New Fast Automatic Daffodils and Ruby's Salt Peter album.
And for some reason every third track is someone like Bomb The Bass or Placebo featuring Justin Warfield, who basically supercharges whoever he performs with. And so I went out and got some of his She Wants Revenge stuff to listen to later.
first thing i put on when i woke up this morning was broken social scene's "you forgot it in people."
i've also been listening to a playlist that i'm pretty happy with.

-- my god, I saw the New FADs way back when. Even had their t-shirt that said MUSIC IS SHIT across the front... Some of it stands up remarkably well. I remember the T-shirts with love. I kind of wish they'd stuck around, given they were more intelligent and interesting than most of the dross at the time.

I thought word balloons on t-shirts would be fun too, but they just turned into self critical attacks("what are you looking at..!!!" is a popular one), bumper stickers, and advertisements. Like the race car jackets now, a few cousins of mine have them, their covered in patches of different brand names and logos, it's an odd kinda corporate camouflage, people dressing to match their enviornments. My mom got me a text shirt a few years ago that said "I have gone to find myself, if I get back before I return, keep me here.", she said it sounded like me, and she was kinda right, ive seen it a few times around, but ive never worn it in public.
I'm actually listening to Dr. Frank's Ask Beth from his 1999 solo album Show Business Is My Life
Frank isn't doing as much music anymore. For shame! But you can keep up with the Jones's by visiting his blog .
What does it say about the state of low-fi punk when Dr. Frank is more famous for writing King Dork (recently picked up by Will Farrell's production company) than 20 years of making music as The Mr. T Experience.
Kind Dork is a good read. And I'm sure Frank is much better off financially as a singer than a song-smith.
Is this just for music? Currently on my playlist is the first series of Fags, Mags & Bags. A comedy set in a British Pakistani corner shop. No, wait! It's funny, honest...
Obsessing beyond any healthy amount over 'The Red Album' by Baroness. They have just passed Mastodon as my favorite alt-metal band.
Also cannot stop listening to Converge's latest 'No Heroes.' They are so beyond awesome that it hurts. Anyone claiming that Hardcore is dead can suck it.
