I haven't

Got anything important to talk about. So I think I will just ramble.

I'm extremely excited for Julian Casablancas new album to come out on the 3rd! If you don't know he is the lead singer of The Strokes and while they were on their musical hiatus he decided to write an album. From what I've heard so far it is very 80's driven and I LIKE THAT! Besides the artwork for it is awesome. Here are some promos:





Other than that I guess I will share some music that I can't get enough of lately:

1. Camera Obscura-French Navy
2. Camera Obscura-The Sweetest Thing
3. Julian Casablancas-11th Dimension
4. Mayer Hawthorne-Just Ain't Gonna Work
5. Mayer Hawthorne-Make Her Mine
6. Sparklehorse-Little Girl (feat. Julian Casablancas)
7. Stars-This Charming Man
8. Weezer-Run Over By A Truck
9. Wu-tang-What's happening ft. Busta Rhymes
10. Felt-Woman tonight
11. John Legend-Slow dance

If you're going to check out anybody check out Mayer Hawthorne. He is this white boy from Ann Arbor who was a DJ for 12 years and then started writing soul, influenced by music his dad used to play in the car when he was a kid. He sounds like he could be Curtis Mayfields love child and I'm pretty jealous of his whole album "A Strange Arrangement" .

new stuff

hey I just wrote a little thing. thought you guys might want to hear it. It's just guitars but it is sounding very weezer-ish right now. I think i will continue with it. let me know what cha think!

Tough mornings

Today was pretty brutal getting up. It's getting harder and harder to pry myself from my down comforter and walk into the freezing bathroom to hop in a shower that only stays warm for three minutes. I feel like we completely skipped Oct and went straight to winter! Never the less I am at school, going to classes, taking notes, trying to focus as much as possible.

I am actually really stoked for winter to get here! Not so much for the cold but for the snow. I haven't gone sledding in two years and last winter wasn't exactly my most active winter. But this year I've got a whole building of people to go outside and hang out with. This is probably the most ideal living situation I could have ever imagined. I don't have to leave my apartment to hang out with all my friends at once and all i have to do is walk downstairs to see my beautiful girlfriend.

The other perk is the free meals! Lately brittany has been whipping up some pretty sweet community meals for everyone and they have been delicious! Since four of us have bridge cards now we can afford to have healthy meals together and not have to worry about running out of food. (with $200 a month how could you?!)

Nick came up Tuesday night for a surprise visit which was awesome! I love it when friends make the drive for one night to hang out since sometimes it's impossible with school. I'm looking forward to seeing Tiger! Tiger! on Oct. 30th with La Dispute. I haven't seen either band in a while and I miss going to local shows and seeing old friends.

All in all I'm pretty content right now. I've been indulging in Zombie movies lately. (I found the original dawn of the dead, the new dawn of the dead and land of the dead all for just $16!) There goes my entertainment money for the month! Oh well, totally worth it. I love my zombies!
