I'm in Another Place.

I’ve got a minute (imagine that), better update the old blog! Oh bloggie, its been a while, what do I have to report to you? There are those wonderful Vegas odds on graduation increasing by the nanoseconds. I’m not entirely out of the woods yet though, I’ve got three presentations, three finals, and two papers standing in my way… this would be a proper time to que Keane’s “Can’t Stop Now” but I think I’ll let Exit Music play out to its completion. Speaking of “Exit Music” did you ever see that movie “Unfaithful,” yeah the one with Richard Gere. It’s got a really dark orchestra version of the Radiohead classic, top notch cover, crappy movie.

Class starts in a couple minutes… “Comfortably Numb” is now playing, not the Pink Floyd song, but the Scissor Sisters. Really how disappointing was their second album? Talk about letdowns, such a unique gimmick wasted… and to think my brother and sister actually dug their first album, mainstream potential wasted I guess. 49 seconds left, I guess I’ll just let the ticks play out. What could be next? Hmm… iPod on shuffle is fun… and our survey says….

Hmm… this is unfamiliar- a bunch of machines grinding. Ummm.. yeah that sounds like Beck whaling in the background. Yep, the vocals indicate this to be true, I don’t know this one, time to take a peak. “Nazarene” is title, a slow rigid little arm shaker, not too bad, this makes me recall a conversation I had with my sister how having Beck on your iPod gives you generic indie cred. He’s one of those musicians that people see on your iPod and just kinda give you the nod that you’re down. Beck is fading out to an acoustic like jamming… and next we have…

……………oh I know this one. Hmmm… Longview I believe, an old friend got me into Longview when she sent me a mix cd a long long time ago with “Further.” It’s a little serious and heartfelt for my mood right now, but brings back pleasant memories… I’m way old. How these guys are not more popular is a mystery to me, the music is perfect for radio, and it’s got that positive uplifting message. These guys were Snow Patrol before Snow Patrol even existed. Still can’t recall the song title, time to take a look, my instinct says its “Will You Wait Here” but I’m uncertain….. bingo nailed it.

Alright, no edit tonight. Sorry for the typos. Class calls.
