Too long

It's been a really long time since I've posted anything at this site. Sorry sorry. Let me think about what's gone on in the past few months in this topic of Music and stuff.

  • Mother sent me a package which included Jesus of Montreal, Straight Story, Johnny English, and the first Season of My Name is Earl. The Jason Lee show, awesome. I like mustaches and likeable rednecks, plus Catalina is gorgeous. Jesus is a good movie. I liked it a lot. The characters were fantastic and the acting superb. I liked their passion play and the intensity it created. Didn't quite understand the ending but that's because I'm not quite literate on the Bible. I did think the death was WAY to obvious. Could he be anymore Christlike? It's worse than Billy Budd. I have yet to watch Straight Story, but I like David Lynch.
  • I've discovered Daytrotter. It's a cool blog filled with cool independent music. I discovered it by getting into Thao Nguyen. She's a cool folksie sounding artist from the west coast. I think she is really fantastic. I will definitely be buying her album with the Get Down Stay Down. I discovered her, through Lost at E Minor, a decent blog that was easier to navigate in previous days (much like Current). Daytrotter is cool though. Not only do they provide great music from some interesting bands (so I can listen to new music), but they have cool articles and nice artwork. Turns out I'd had a little sample of their music before, though. I had some David Bazan stuff. Now I have more of their "sessions."
  • Yelle. She's pretty awesome. An electro french princess. Not only does she dress like she's from a big city with shiny dayglo clothes and flashy belts but she has really fun pounding beats. I would love to dance to her music in a club. I would love to buy her album when I return to the states. Also, her fan's videos are awesome. Tecktonic, I think is the dance craze. It's pretty cool.
  • I'm eagerly awaiting the third season of Battlestar Galactica. The Internet is filled with talk and gossip ever since the fourth (and final) season started. I'm a season behind but man I cannot wait. I love that show. It's so good.
  • Marie has Grey's Anatomy season three. I'm tempted to run over to her apartment and grab it. I could finish it fast enough. I would never watch it in the states but I'm not in the States so I look forward to seeing it. Addictive show.
