ramble ramble ramble *pause*

oh man. i'm chilling in my bedroom in my old 7th grade cheerleading shirt. listening to THIS.

you should also go listen to some of this. it's yacht. they're fun. they're also playing a set at schuba's this upcoming saturday and i'm hella stoked. wanna go? i need a date. so holler at me and that plus one is all yours. i'm pretty sure (at least according to this month's death + taxes), that yacht will also be reprezenting in austin next week.

NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!

that's right, supervisor jodi will be getting the funk outta chi and hopping a plane to austin next tues, 8 days, for sxsw weds-sun. soooo pumped. perfect timing too as that's the week all the new hires start at werk, but what evs. i gotta get my suntan(burn) on and drink me sum sparxxx. shit will be hott. 4 realz. at least if what i'm listening to is a tiny representation of that shit, anyway.

i'm stoked for handsome furs this wknd (sunday @ empty bottle), whigs friday (bottom lounge) as well. so this will be joe d's mini music tour sxsw preview prior to the texass heat. i'm stoked to see peter bjorn and john, m. ward, hood internet, fuck, everybody i guess. i'm trying to go into it this year (3rd go around) without as many wish lists that way whoever i stumble upon can be my new favorite band without any presumptions. last year i walked away with bon iver and santogold so i'm faithful i'll get sum other gewds this year as well.

this week has been the weirdest iPod lineup for me though; with last night's mini-Wes Anderson fest I got my Bowie/Kinks on at work today, rocking the Yacht/LCD Soundsystem tonite, yesterday was allllll grizzly bear (omfg so good!) and i feel some aimee mann coming on shortly. . . .

oh and also--pitchfork tix go on sale friday, remember to go buy yers. grizzly bear and walkmen will be there. as will built to spill and the national. some good stuff. lolla's big acts leaked--beastie boys, depeche mode and jane's addiction--it's 1995 all over again, apparently. $60 tix are soon on the way. not so sure about a repeat lolla this year, i think bw sxsw and p4k i should be spent in my golden years, but only time shall tell. . .
