one more thing about the cd exchange - on top of international postage and cd costs, which i can see why people would think $20 isn't much even if it's lotsa groceries or booze for us, post office boxes are hella expensive!!!!!!!! wtf

 

[Varitek]

Some people are quietly looking down their college educated, good-job noses and basically telling us, "Participate when you're as financially secure as I am." With a little wink, nudge, and apology.

That was Khan.

i don't see why anyone would want to go through the hassle of a po box when there's uploads and downloads, but i guess that's the generation divide.

Yes you did.

OK so...Elliot Smith. The indie kids love him. Giving one of his albums a go. I love Nick Drake, and I hear he was an influence.

 

[the tourist]

He's alright. I'm not too into him.

hmmm i love nick drake too, i'll have to search for this guy

Two songs in (I'm listening to Either/Or, his breakthrough record), and Smith clearly has a good ear for melody. I remember hating his voice, but it's pretty good. Palatable anyway. I'm enjoying this album so far, and it's only like 36 minutes long.

That's his best.

Either/Or is the only one I have. I heard a few and it was the best. I really like the second half. Pictures of Me and Angeles are the two track names I remember standing!

I'm glad you went over.

I put together a raw playlist for my exchange entry. I'm pretty pleased with it and won't make any major changes. It's 18 songs, about 78 minutes.

Ohyeah. I knew that.

Another artist I've been trying to get into is The Mountain Goats. I know they have a new album out. Unfortunately, I cannot stand the singer's voice. At all. And it's sad because he's a great lyricist.

I've never heard of them. But when I can't stand a singer's voice, it generally ruins things for me.

Just the usual indie folk stuff. I have a similar problem with Neutral Milk Hotel, but at least I like a few of their songs.

What I've heard of Neutral Milk Hotel I haven't liked.


Oh, and I just got off the phone with my girlfriend. I now hate Cinco de Mayo. Some mexican dude tried to pull her into his truck on her way home from a bar tonight (sadly her idiot friends live the opposite direction and didn't walk her home first ). Thankfully she got away from him, though he then proceeded to follow her all the way back to her condo.

Sick bastards. Keep in mind he was probably drunk out of his mind though.
