and sweet babies cry for the cool taste of milking

morning, peoples! man nothing like the life of a bachelor, even if it is for 10 days. actually, its mildly depressing. i have so used to constant barrage of noise that the silence is kind of discomforting. i’ll survive, i think. although, my diet is now completely in the shitter. friday night i had two hotdogs, then at about 11 pm i had two patio frozen burritos. yesterday wasnt any better. btw, the patio beef and bean burritos are fuckin awesome.

anyone own a canon powershot g9? thinking about getting one in the coming months - have to sell some shit on ebay before doing so. not unless of course someone wants to donate one to my cause. anyway, i would love to get a dslr but quite frankly i dont want to lug around something like that on a daily basis. from everything i have read, the g9 seems like a great alternative to the dslr. or if anyone has any other recommendations for any other feature-laden p&s, please dont be shy.

honestly, i never really listened to sigur ros all that much. i tried to get into the first one, and while its pretty good, it was just too ”something” for my tastes. really havent given them much of a thought since. maybe my tastes have changed, cause me thinks this new one is pretty damn fantastic - even if i dont know what they fuck they singing about. its really quite a lovely record - everything seems a lot brighter and melody orientated to what i remember them sounding like. may just have to go back and reinvest some time into their catalogue. you can grab the first single, “goobledigook,” here.

i have had a bunch of requests to repost this neutral milk hotel show, which happens to be there last, for now hopefully. im still real hazy on the actual tracklisting. so, this is the order i posted it the first time around, but i cleaned up the tags.

i maybe the only one that feels this way, but at this point in time its probably best if mr mangum never returns from his wily globe trotting escapades or chilling out in athens or where ever he is laying his head these days. it would be like getting back with a crazy ex-lover after years of being apart. sure, at the time they held this mystical like control over you but over the years people change and it never really amounts to anything but an awkward and unsatisfying experience. i hope i am wrong, if he ever does decide to come back to the living.

here is a beautiful soundboard recording of a performance at the side door in st louis on 5.5.97.

in an aeroplane over a dream, nmh live at terrastock II

remember back in june/july when that supposed jeff mangum post magically appeared stating that he was going to make this jesus christ like comeback? yeah, me too. if he ever does decide to planet earth, i wonder what the reception will be like. actually, i dont wonder at all, its pretty apparent that everyone who gives a shit - myself included, and even those that didnt realize that they did, will go ape shit to the point of embarrassment. maybe he has hooked up with microsoft as part of their attempt to latch onto some kind of indie cred with the release of zune? wouldnt that be quite a coup?
in the mean time, here is their performance from terrastock II from 1998.

1. intro/two headed boy

2. the fool

3. worms in the wind

4. king of carrot flowers

5. holland, 1945

6. baby for pree

7. ferris wheel on fire

8. aeroplane over the sea

9. gardenhead/leave me alone

10. song against sex

11. ruby bulbs

12. swimming in your speakers

13. ghost

14. ghost coda
