January 07, 2005

it's been 3 days since i last posted? days move quickly, don't they? i've been busy working and trying to catch on loads of lost sleep. i think i managed my first 8-hour night of the week last night. feels good. we had a bunch of really snowy days. i like the white outside. tomorrow's the big party. apparently people are coming. sheesh. tomorrow's gonna be a busy day -- clean up the entire apartment, do laundry, and get some groceries.

2005 is upon us so we finally have some incredibly thrilling music coming our way. here are the ones i'm most looking forward to right now (in chronological/excitement order):

Jan 18 2005 :: indie-wise, Magnolia Electric Co's Trials & Errors

Jan 25 2005 :: the one that got me all excited this morning is Martha Wainwright's Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole ep. i'm so happy somebody finally signed her up! i'm definitely getting this. anyone notice her (and father Loudon) in The Aviator? next up is Jimmy Chamberlain's The Jimmy Chamberlain Complex with Life Begins Again. very excited about this as he's my favorite drummer and Billy also helped out on a song or two, which never hurts in my eyes. Bright Eyes releases I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. i have an important question - anyone from Canada ever order from Saddle Creek? are they customs friendly? i'd love to pre-order these two discs. the rest are just standard music-lover stuff: Low with The Great Destroyer, Mercury Rev with The Secret Migration, and Buck65's This Here Is Buck65.

Feb 22 2005 :: Tori Amos and The Beekeeper.

March 1 2005 :: Doves' Some Cities. anyone ever track down their two-disc best of? i've been hating myself for the past year because i didn't snatch it up when i had the chance.

March 22 2005 :: Queens of the Stone Age with Lullabies to Paralyze and a long-ass guestlist that includes my girl Shirley. Prefuse 73 also gets guest help on Surrounded by Silence. Wu-Tang is ridiculously represented on the disc (including RZA and GZA). Moby finally releases a new disc, Hotel. hopefully this includes the 2nd techno disc. New Order are always good, this time it's Waiting for the Sirens Call.

April 12 2005 :: i can't wait for Garbage's new album, Bleed Like Me. guest spots galore (including Marilyn Manson, Dave Grohl, Dust Brother John King).
