I'm going to see M83 this weekend! I'm really looking forward to it. The show is in Omaha, so it will be a chance to visit some of my old haunts and also buy exotic beers.
Somehow, I've managed not to get the new M83 album, which seems to be immensely popular among the kids with its 80's inspired sound. The stray tracks that I have listened to are pretty good, though.
I really need to blog about an older album, possibly something R.E.M. did.
I busted a guitar string two days ago! Tonight I go in search of guitar strings; please wish me luck. The guitar was basically all that kept me sane this weekend; I don't need it right now like I did a few days ago, but I still want to play.
Sorry today's blog was just things in my head rather than focusing on any actual album. Maybe tomorrow?

Well, not really.
About Me
- Bones of an Idol
- Professionally, I work in information technology for a school. I do a little of everything: support, training, database, website, purchasing, strategy. My job appeals to my love of challenges, solving problems, and helping people.
Outside of work, I enjoy exercise (I used to practice capoeira, but largely run and lift weights now), writing short fiction, and playing the guitar. I am a largely self-taught guitarist and generally do not rock very hard.
I am currently enrolled in the MBA program at Drake University. Focusing on my coursework has curtailed my 'hobbies' somewhat, but I plan to graduate in Fall of 2013.
I am partial to travel, cats, black licorice and peanut butter.
