moving!

in order to maximize my web 2.0 searchability, strengthen my personal SEO/name recognition and to synergize similar blogging platforms, this is getting moved over to tumblr.

New Wrens! "Pulled Fences"

I'm terrible at updating this.

But anyway - The Wrens have decided they're bored with playing with other bands and barely-announced solo shows and just released their first new music since 2004's epic Meadowlands. "Pulled Fences" was recorded at Abbey Road live, and this is the first take of the first time the band had even heard the track... the fact that it's not trainwreck and actually pretty great makes it worth the $1. Definitely recommended. Pick it up here, Amazon or iTunes.

Please Dear God Let These Blade Runner 2 Rumors Be Fake

From the "OHGODNO" department: Slashfilm just posted a rumor that the writers of surely-hit-but-at-the-same-time-awful film Eagle Eye are tossing around ideas of writing Blade Runner 2.

If you haven't seen Blade Runner, it's probably one of the best pieces of sci-fi to ever be created, and there is absolutely no need for a sequel. I'll stop talking before I embarrass myself further.

Hey Hollywood, stop making sequels and remakes we don't need. Thanks.

Passion Pit - Chunk of Change

Current addiction: Passion Pit's Chunk of Change EP. Suggested by my lovely lady (and, looking at my library, apparently yewknee's Untitled II mix as well, even though I didn't notice.)

Full of playful synths, squeltches, and yelps, it's a danceable good time. "Sleepyhead" goes from noisy to infectious before you've even noticed it happened.

Pick it up for $7 (only a small chunk of change) on iTunes.

the first dude.

so very, very awkward. the first dude abides.

September came far too quickly.

I know I'm only entitled to one "sorry I haven't been updating this site" post at a time, so I won't say that.

I will say that summer 2008 happened so quickly that my head is slightly spinning that it's already over. Highlights!

• Moving into a new (less crappy) apartment. Still not fancy by any means, but hey, we actually get our mail delivered, which is a nice plus.
• The joy of eating good food outside on warm nights.
• The joy of eating good food outside on sunny days.
• As always, free shows in the city.
• Getting a cat.
• Yo La Tengo at McCarren Pool.
• Summer Jams

I'm not promising I'll get back to regular posting. But maybe, who knows.

sorry.

i'm doing a crappy job of keeping up with this site.

i'll try to fix that.

in the meantime, the FAIL blog gives me the giggles.
