so, yesterday i was wading through the months of backed up friend requests over there at myspace.? i try to give everyone fair a shake, or at least a chance to pass my 10 second rule which most people dont.? sometimes it just gets to be too fuckin much, i just want to hit the?detonate button and blow myspace the hell up!?one guy i found rather interesting was this guy outta LA named jim salinger.??he’s still a bit rough vocally, but the songwriting and instrumentation is spot on.??plus he name checks jack logan as an influence which is good enough for me, typically.
how did i get this far

the shins are a band that i find really hard to dislike. i cant remember the last time i listened to an actual shins record but when the tracks pop up on my ipod i typically hit repeat. i dont know why i cant sit through a whole record? interestingly enough, i know quite a few people that feel the same way. here they are on the current 89.3 recorded on 4.12.05.

he is currently on tour, so check his site for dates.
i dont know about you people, but i dont think this john karr guy killed jon benet.? sure the guy is creepy as hell, but i still stand by that the dad had his fingers in the wrong pie.? my theory is that karr got busted for some shit in thailand and would rather face a long drawn out court case here in the us than daily sodomizing/canings that were sure to happen in thailand.
keeping with a theme is something i never stray away from.? neither is ending sentences with prepostions.? so, today is the lovely young lady that goes by the name of feist recorded on on 7.8.05 for 89.3 the current.

if you have been visiting this dump for a while you will know that i dig all things related to the kinsellas, tim and mike that is.? i did a cap n jazz, joan of arc, promise ring, etc mix tape a couple of months back in case you missed it.? so it should be no suprise that i am psyched about their two upcoming solo releases.? mike kinsella records under the moniker of owen and is set to release at home on 11.7 via polyvinyl.
bad news
tim’s project make believe is definitely a bit more eclectiv than owen, but i think i prefer owen at this point.? make believe’s of course is being released by flameshovel and is set drop on 10.3.

my first foray into the world of bob mould came in the form of a best buy ad circa 1992 and their offering of copper blue for a mere $7.99. in retrospect, it is probably the greatest $7.99 plus tax I have ever spent. with that said, copper blue could arguably be the greatest record of all time, in my humble opinion.
here is mr mould on the current from 7.8.05
