Wicked Game!

Belatedly realized that on Spotify, when I hear some random song that I like I should add it to a playlist. So now I have a 2-hour playlist of songs I discovered this year and loved. Spotify is magically good at finding 80s punk songs, modern garage rock songs, and weird classic rock gems that I haven't heard. If anyone is interested I can share it. Also, are any of you guys on spotify?

Depending on what yours is doing, it may be simple or...not.

Can't give you what I had because I ran DBAN on the old IDE-PATA drive it was on, so that's gone-gone anyways.

I started reading here when I wanted to root the phone and make it do some non-standard things. Same place was my primary help on bringing the thing back to life.

Come to think of it, I think the Defy might have gotten smashed.  There's a Moto G around someplace whose battry won't charge anymore, that's what I was thinking of.

I'm on Spotify - I mostly use it to play music while I'm at work.  I use Beats/Apple Music on my mobile devices because I have a family subscription to that service.

Yeah, those guys are my shit.

There is some of there stuff on this recent "Ork Records: New York New York" compilation that rules. Mid to late 70s "what will be called punk but does not sound like later punk" scene. It is also on spotify.

Goddamn, this lady put out an incredibly good breakup album around the time I broke up with that girl. Didn't hear until now. She is good as hell.

I have always avoided anything that seemed "singer-songwriter"-y but that Spotify Discover feature is finding me the good ones.

Listening to Pixies on my really good headphones. How can they be so good.

Why am I doing homework at midnight on a friday 3 days after my last exam.

I never got why people thought Joey Santiago's guitar playing was "weird." He just makes cool noises in the background a lot of the time, what's weird about that. In the however many years since then I have realized that... yeah, almost nobody.

I still stand by my belief that none of the bands people say "sound like the pixies" sound like them.

I feel the same way!  The fall too.  None of those bands sound like the fall.  They are sloppy post punk, but that does not equal sounds like the fall (or the pixies).

In STL for the New Year, and ate dinner last night with a certain someone and her sisters and their husbands. It felt like a fantasy of the best possible future. Leaving felt like waking up from a nice dream.

So to end 2015 I am going to post this song, and then see if I do one of those things you guys love to hear about. I do not imagine it is going the way I want, but, like the song says, there is no other way.

(yeesh inev, come on, hove some dignity)

I ghosted from a party around 11:15. Now I am at home listening to the soundtrack to Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus because I'm feeling morose.

Was listening to this song's best part as I drove past a building that is getting rehabbed in St Louis. Around the corner from my old place, something about seeing this building that had been abandoned at least since I was in college turned into a new home just nailed me. Had to pull over for a moment and take some deep breaths.

This city has so much damn grit. Sometimes things get better.

(is it getting turned into fancy condos, I bet it is)

Just heard this band perform on Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Really enjoyed it so I went looking for more. Reminds me a bit of early Radiohead which can't be a coincidence given that they are from the same hometown. I'd like to think that every band from Oxford must sound like Radiohead to a certain extent.

Listened to Radiohead and Foals for an hour and it's getting too artsy/faggy for me so I had to kick it old school to cleanse my pallate.

Bought a ton of records over break, finally giving in... sitting on the floor in my room listening on headphones. I left my big speakers in St Louis (they were a goodwill find that I inherited from a guy who moved out) so my stereo has been sitting here unused for the last year and a half.

Protomartyr are so, so good. They and Parquet Courts make me feel like it is a new golden age of records inev likes. I think 2013-2015 might be tied with the mid 70s and late 60s for most records in my collection, which is crazy. To be fair, most of the modern bands I like are closely following influences from the last few decades (mostly 80s/90s).

But right now I'm listening to some goddamn classical music like a classy dude.
