Todays gonna be a good day for the music,



this was the first thing I listened to today, one of the last songs ever made by the band, pretty much sums up every aspect of the band that I have fallen in love with.

Pavement- Spit On a Stranger


Micro-Reviews (I could either be lazy, or just haven't listened to the albums in totallity, whatever, I'm gonna make slew of generalizations 'bout these albums.)

"don't worry, we're in no hurry,"
Stephen Malkmus

So heres what albums I have been spinning in the past few days:
Pavement- Wowee Zowee: A jam packed 29 track album that at first can appear overwhelming, (expecially if you get the two disk 'sordid sentinals' edition) but it is totally worth it, when you first hear songs like "Rattled by the Rush" on your car stereo. *****
Modest Mouse- The Moon and Antartica: Awesome title, awesome cover artwork, and awesomely cool soundz: solid modest mouse action. *****
Ataxia I and II: I'm going to lump these two releases together, cuz I don't care enough to give them seperate reviews. These albums feature the work of J. Frusciante on Vox and Guitar, the bassist of fugazi and an random guy of drums. Although not as progged out/low fi as Frusciante's solo albums, this sounds strikingly similar to his previous solo releases. Like JF's solo shtuff, this definately isn't something that you can binge listen to. However, there is some solid musaq presented; even if just for street cred, I suggest you listen. ***
The Postal Service- Give UP: If you dig the whole Garden State vibe, you have to hear these guys. Its electronic Indie, got some synths, but it has some great heartfelt vocals and cool music parts. Kind of cute sounding, its great for your softer side (or tripping to.) ****
The Flaming Lips- It Overtakes Me E.P: A funky trip of goofiness and magic. If you like your music weird and ennergetic, youll dig this. *****


Pete the Tank can do a fourty second keg stand, which was easily one of the greatest things I saw this weekend. This post is dedicated to you, big guy.
