I started on a soft note, went out with a pretty rocking jam, I'd say (at least in comparison), and it flows pretty well, I think. I've been rocking it pretty frequently.

I've pretty much been a ghost here.

And everywhere else. On a good note, that's allowed me to listen to more new music.

Good: REM "Accelerate", Death Cab "I Will Possess Your Heart"
Okay: Vampire Weekend's self-titled (I definitely understand the Paul Simon Graceland comparison), (suprisingly!)Panic at the Disco "Pretty. Odd".
And lastly, I listened to Bon Iver. I don't really get the hype that's startng to build. Call me crazy. I could not get into it. I tried. :\

and now

im swearing off music indefinitely.









just...no.

although i swore off american idol a few years ago, ive been sucked back in this season. i was watching the other night, and jason castro sang leanord cohen's "hallelujah" (most people know this song as covered by one jeff buckley.)




now, the jeff buckley version was released on "grace" which, according to my copy sitting in front of me, was released in 1994. (p.s. what a good fucking year for music!) this was 14 years ago, give or take a few months.

when i opened itunes two nights ago (ironically, to up "grace" to my ipod) i noticed the top-selling singles...number two was "hallelujah" by jeff buckley.


there's something really powerful in that. a tv show that almost wasnt has the ability to bring a song from the attic of indie back to the mainstream 14 years after the song was released. maybe in this is the answer to where the future of music lies.


just a thought.
