One side effect of getting Demon Days this month from VMP is now my kids (10 and 7) are obsessed with Gorillaz.

I kind of feel like I need to apologize for liking Songs for the Deaf. Sorry guys!
I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me!
Gah! I've been able to give a few albums out today a listen, and there are like 7 more I want to listen to. Too. Much. Music.
One thing I really miss about grad school- being able to say things like "whoa, that's a Pedro Páramo reference!" and having anyone in my vicinity know what I'm saying.
I'm glad I waited to give All Mirrors a first listen on vinyl- this is an album deserves to played loud.
Since I'm mostly failing at my goal of having fewer opinions about things, I guess I'm just gonna have to settle for not sharing my opinions about most things most of the time.
Weird realization: If given a chance to meet most of the people I admire, I'd probably decline, because my admiration is domain-specific. I admire musicians for their music, authors for their books, scientists for their research, and I realized I care very little about the details of their lives or what they're actually like in person. I just assume all public performances/interviews/etc. are public personas.
I still can't bring myself to pay for a streaming service. *oldmanyellsatcloud.jpg*
These Stereolab reissues are officially the yardstick I'll be measuring vinyl reissues by from now on, fairly or unfairly.
Finally taking the step of permanently deleting all my deactivated social media accounts. All I have left is an Instagram I'm not sure I'll keep, and Goodreads...
Fun fact: In Spanish-speaking countries, the bad luck day is Tuesday the 13th.
Reason 276 that I love the ever-delightful Lodge 49: It introduced me to the Soundcarriers.
Mid-30s is the normal age to start listening to metal, right?
"It appears to me... that if we could have devised an arrangement for providing everybody with music in their homes, perfect in quality, unlimited in quantity, suited to every mood, and beginning and ceasing at will, we should have considered the limit of human felicity already attained, and ceased to strive for further improvements."
From Looking Backward, by Edward Bellamy, published 1888!
I'll lose some sales and my boss won't be happy
But I can't stop listening to the sound...
I posted this is the download codes thread, but if anyone wants to download the new Jay Som or Thom Yorke albums, send me a PM!
On first listen, I didn't really see what made this new oso oso album that great. Then I re-listened and the melodies started boring their way into my brain.
I mentioned Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" in class, and one of my students then said "Oh, but Disturbed did it better!" I managed not to say anything after that, but it was hard. Oh, so very hard.
This new Jay Som album is just as solid as her first- I've been playing it on my phone daily since Friday. Can't wait to check the mailbox tomorrow and put it on my turntable. -
