I'm more or less a Jana Hunter fan, yeah. I spent a lot of time with Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom as a teenager, and I still ride hard for that album as a lower-fidelity, country-fried spinster sister to Cat Power's Moon Pix. Jana Hunter's other solo stuff is good, too, and when I saw her live, she rendered all the songs with the psych window-dressing that makes Lower Dens more or less what it is: scaling back Fushitsusha's early style or Les Rallizes Denudes onto Jana Hunter's shorter song-type songs. That said, I mean, like you I only listened to it once or twice, but the problem there is me, not the record. Besides SODMG (Lil B, Soulja Boy), OFWGKTA (Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, MellowHype), and Brick Squad (Waka Flocka Flame, Gucci Mane), I didn't listen to much new music this year. I imagine I owe Beach House a second chance, if only because I swoon over the Cocteau Twins like I'm Miley Cyrus (bitch, I'm Miley Cyrus). And of course good call on Vince Guaraldi. | ||

I have always been a man of uncertain tastes in music, being influenced by all styles but never fully accepting either of them. However, the music you post in your blogs is different, it fits me perfectly. Thanks for sharing it with us, thanks for showing it to me. P.S. Here is the only song I truly love, you might like it | ||

This video is amazing. It's about how a sphere can be turned inside out according to certain rules, why it's possible, and why it can't be done with a circle. Very nice find, thanks for that. | ||

Great stuff, crazy interception. You'll hopefully love Deadwood, after The Wire it's the best piece of TV out there, shame that it only got three seasons. | ||

I'm listening to the album again now though, because you've mentioned it haha! where is that? got to run atm, I'll reply to earlier comments in a bit though It is a little wonky, definitely, but give it another spin, it's probably my #1 of the year! And we seem to have very similar music taste (Beach House is definitely in my top 5). It's in this place called Vinnie's Pizzeria, which is in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn. I literally walk by it every day on my way home from work. There's all kinds of funny signs in there, and the employees are a hoot too haha. If you're in the area ever I'd recommend stopping by. | ||

BTW, Camilla Belle got #1 on this most beautiful face list. I don't think I've seen her on your site (I might have missed it) but I think she's really pretty. I've posted pics of her at least once before. definitely a stunner, I completely agree. it makes me feel old that there exist "new" celebrities I don't really know about  I really appreciate your music recommendations. I've just recently started to get into indie rock/pop (?) and I enjoy it a lot. I personally like Arcade Fire and Crystal Castle the most (Not In Love is great). have you heard this version (with Robert Smith, of The Cure)? thanks for writing yourself out YoonHo On December 21 2010 13:24 FiBsTeR wrote: Do you or anyone else have anything good to say about gloves that you can (i) use an iPhone with but (ii) don't have the fingers cut off? It's too cold in Boston and CT for the kind you mentioned.  My brother has gloves like this where you have to pull the fingers off but I wanted these but don't know if they work well or not.I don't know anything about touchscreen-ready gloves but my uninformed advice is to steer clear just because you're going to have an impossible time finding any that look nice. (I always find that if a product is being marketed to "nerds" it tends to be ugly — a terrible phenomenon really.) my advice is to go for some convertible gloves like these (the black ones are really nice, actually). On December 21 2010 13:51 Node wrote: Like I said, I think it was a year of solid bands releasing solid albums, but very little new stuff that blew me away. I mean, off the top of my head there was LCD Soundsystem, The National, Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, The Walkmen, Liars, Los Campesinos!, Girl Talk, Deerhunter all releasing really good albums that aren't incredibly ambitious and just don't break much new ground despite their overall good-ness. that is very true, these are pretty huge bands...I guess I just happen to not be that into most of them (exception Arcade Fire). I tried hard to get into Halcyon Digest but couldn't make it much past "Helicopter". I can see the merit though, Bradford Cox is genius level. Oh, check out Warpaint. They're pretty good. 4-piece girl group that plays kinda shoegaze-y kinda proggy music. Their album drags a bit after awhile, but I could see them doing something awesome before long. good tip, I found out about them when they opened for The xx a couple months ago. spent the whole concert crushing on their guitarist (then I watched this video and decided that the bassist might be cuter, though I'm dubious she's straight). anyway yeah, it was cool just to see an all-girl band play. I think they're going to have to become more expert musicians (just talking technical skill/composition) before doing something super significant though. more than half the tracks on The Fool are throwaways. but "Undertow" is great.

"10 Mile Stereo" is such a super track.\ On December 21 2010 18:47 Hot_Bid wrote: jwd thanks for doing all the music research for me, all the new music i listen to i get from you, movie trailers, and tv commercials haha np HB. if you're ever itching for something new to listen to, just drop me a PM On December 21 2010 21:21 smileyyy wrote: Hell Yeah Crystal Castles Ive been listening to them non-stop for months :D.

But I also ordered one of those book bags from Duluth Pack! What color should I have gotten haha. I have no sense of style, I just stuck with the olive because it was the standard. I also got the monogramming but I'm not sure if that was a good idea either. Should be waiting for me when I get back on campus. | ||
