ahhhh. i've been neglectful of my written word thang lately. i blame this on chicago summers, awesome friends and beautiful weather. haven't really checked too many live shows, as of late, but this will change very SOON. tonite, in fact i was supposed to check magnolia electric co @ hideout, but account of drinks, sleep deprivation, and an overall rather bizarre weekend, my apathy got the best of me and i opted to lie around useless in my bedroom all day, to the point where i am now listening to bubba sparx (yes you read this correctly, back in the mud--to be exact, it's a horrible song but i'm enjoying it anyway), in my underpants sipping white pomegranate tea, putting off my assigned task for the evening--watching oliver stone's bush biopic, w.
this week though, instead, i will be checking much music. tuesday night is conor oberst and "the mystical valley band," ergh, i hope he plays some bright eyes joints. that shit would be hot. conor is hot. very much so, yes indeed, so this will be fun and a trip back to 2005 when i had pictures from magazines ripped out and put behind my bed in my college house bedroom of digi ash/wide awake promo doe eyed days. seksi. weds is empty bottle, where alt country rockish outfit (brian williams approved, even) deer tick will be rockin it out. thursday, no definitive plans as of yet, i took friday off of work--so ideally i'd like to hit up 80's newwave nite at neo, but i'm starting to think it might be in my best interest to save up some energy for the weekend's events---PITCHFORK!
yessssss. so excited. see me some grizzly bear. matt & kim. pharaohe monch. fucked up. m83. flaming lips. pains of being pure at heart. et al. shit will be funtastic. friday nite afer party at dark room w/the boyz of hood internet and dj bald eagle should be a funtasm. i'm recruiting as many dance partie bodz as possible so we will own that shit. i'm pretty stoked, you could say. so yes, there will be more jodi reviews vs my sporadic and infrequent long winded rambles in the near near future.
it's been so long since i've commented on any music lately. . . other than the shitastic random pop garbage i downloaded today (see no doubt, kelly clarkson, jade, keith sweat, brandy AND monica, britney spears, etc etc), i'm really digging the fever ray (chick from the knife's effort) recent release i borrowed from a galpal. very dark, yet hauntingly orchestrated swede experimental pop(ish). love her voice. love the style. it's trippy, rad ambient music for sure.
still in my dirty hip hop and electronic thang. been really into the new tracks from clipse and dug the free new atmosphere ep (leak at will, head to the fifth element to pick up yer copy, it's hella fresh). but right now i'm really beginning to think i should be the last person to comment on any music. (britney & madonna "me against the music" MIGHT be playing on my itunes right now, good grief.)
anyway. i really gotta start this movie stat if i actually expect to finish it tonite. work beckons in the am, after all. thank goodness for 4-day work weeks, yes? holler if you'll be checking any of the said shows mentioned above. p4k should be a hootananny sweetass trip.
