as i mentioned in a previous post, i've been rather out of the music scene of late. i'm just kind of bored by it. my chief complaint is that these new bands don't seem very consistent. case in point -
tapes n tapes. their first album was great. then i went to see them in concert and yeah, maybe it was the fact that i was one of the only people over 25, but it kind of blew. so badly that i had to leave in the middle. they tried songs off their new album and it was some horrifying hybrid of
sublime and, hmmm,
live. yeah. that sounds about right. maybe i'm just getting old and i need to revive my
rick astley collection or something? hey rick, turns out i won't ever give you up.
stay with me here, but what's
fred armisen all about? where did this dude come from? how did he end up creating
this new site with one of the
sleater kinneys? anyway, i started listening to the woods this morning and it made me wish for a giant reunion tour--sleater-kinney and pavement. i'll throw built to spill in there, too, although i'm pretty sure they're still together. i'll pretend i'm still 20 and afraid to go to alphabet city.
what's that you say, sasha frere jones?
btw, c4ts - why do magazines in asia always have
white women (and blondes, at that) on the cover? shit makes me ill.
