The Wannadies - You and Me Song

is it bad that i have a soft spot for '90s alt. indie pop?

adding further to my embarrassment is the fact that this song was

included on the romeo and juliet soundtrack.

oh well, i think it has an excellent chorus.

monome

monome. i want one so bad.

so infintely cool and easy to use.

it's sort of like an MPC. but just better.

check out their capabilities by watching the video on site

of Edison going nuts on it.

yeah, check them out at monome.org

Goodbye

see ya 2009.

the HSC made you shit,

but i bear no grudge towards you.

also, goodbye "noughties".

i don't agree with calling this decade that,

it needs a new name.

anyway happy new year n' such.

preview

two photos from my 1000+ picture set from Europe.

it's like super-exclusive, yo.

Hellhole Ratrace

so i've been really liking Girls debut, Album.

it's such a good San Fran summer pop record,

and i love all the obvious nods towards the band's musical references.

most people i know will palm them off, though.

i might buy the album tomorrow.

here's Hellhole Ratrace.

France photos up soon(ish)

France - 2

at the moment, blogging is hard.
it's hard to get to a computer etc.
anyway, i'm in Dijon near the train station.
my train to verona, and thus the italy leg of my trip,
leaves at 11pm. it's about 6pm now. eergh.
it's been about 3°C since we left Paris.
my hands go blue whenever i forget my gloves.
i'm guessing that's not that great.
i'm getting some nice shots though.
i'll put those up when i get back.
if you ever get to go to france,
go to Strasbourg. it's very pretty at night.
5 mins left at internet cafe!
adios?

France

i want find the card of this that i saw last time i was here
so i can send it to tabitha and mildly insult her.
bad taste?
anyway, France is pretty damn great.
crepes are rad.
shakespeare & co. book store was fantastic,
as is Murakami's, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle.
i saw Yo La Tengo at the Bataclan on Monday night.
they played an awesome show.
i would put photos up, but this is an internet cafe
and i have neither the resources nor inclination to do so.
so wait until i get back?
