Oops

I was going to blog about Wire today but then I ran out of time. Shame on me!

The good news is that I got my monthly eMusic quota this week and promptly blew 60% of my downloads on the Dark Was the Night compilation. As it is all covers by relatively prominent indie artists (what a troubled phrase), it probably warrants a song-by-song evaluation rather than just the typical Jason-rants-about-album-themes type of blog that I've usually done. It's good stuff, though - even the bands that I don't normally care for as much (Spoon, I'm looking at you) contribute some interesting tracks.

In Other News:
I am beginning my investigation into a potential invasion of Canada. This has international incident written all over it. I'll probably have to fast for a couple days to make up for all the added Unibroue calories, though.

I have been watching a good deal of Arrested Development lately. I can't say enough good things about it - this show is cleverly written, knows how to use a running joke (Family Guy, I'm looking at you), and is probably cast as well as any sitcom in recent memory. This may also warrant a dedicated non-music-related blog entry as well. I only wish I could get Will Arnett to narrate the entire thing.
