Perhaps I could just blog about old albums that I own in physical form, or get off my butt and check out some music from the library, like in Old Times. More than likely, I will just seek a better connection or finally suck it up and get home internet. I wonder if there is some kind of a black market for music, where I could trade some unopened aluminum foil and cherry grenadine for a flash drive full of Roxy Music MP3s that would not also give my computer some kind of STD.
In short, here is a list of artists you can expect me to review in the near future:
Grizzly Bear
Explosions in the Sky yet again
Loney, Dear
Calexico
Anything but Wilco
Today there will be a mini-review of Les Savy Fav's The Cat and the Cobra. I found this album to be both abrasive and obnoxious without being balanced by any particular redeeming quality. The best thing about this album was the album art, which is a nice painting of a kittycat behaving aggressively towards a cobra. While this seems like a bad decision on the cat's behalf, it also serves as an appropriate analogy about my feelings towards anyone purchasing this album. Maybe I have just gone soft in my relatively advanced age. I also happen to wonder whether a cat would be able to win a fight versus a cobra, though I doubt it.
In Other News:
I'm not sure why today's post was so petulant and disjointed. I guess this is what happens when you come in to work and find a cake in the break room first thing in the morning.
I need to get an air valve cover for my bike tire but will most likely end up overpaying for one at some place like Hy-Vee.
