It's weird (or not?) how similar our musical tastes are.  Seriously, Protomartyr and Parquet Courts are some of the only bands I like everything from. 

A halo on your ass, the only place that it could fit.

Hop Along, "Waitress." Holy cats, her voice.

I have never been a huge Bowie fan, but obviously his influence is everywhere. On a recent NPR podcast, they had a couple of the guys who recorded with him on "Blackstar" and they said he was completely down to earth, supportive, and collaborative. Dude could have competed with Cornelius in the Badass Games, that's for sure.

Today:
Earl Sweatshirt - I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside: An Album by Earl Sweatshirt (2015)
Tom Waits - Small Change (1976) <--- I listen to a Waits album in entirety every single day
Tayi Bebba - Clap! Clap! (2014)
Mantronix - Mantronix: The Album (1985)
Kurt Vile - b'lieve i'm goin down... <---- holychristsogood

Watching most recent SNL (seems I will never give up on this show), and Fred Armisen introduces a tribute to Bowie. They play a clip of his 1979 SNL performance of "The Man Who Sold The World." SO turns to me and asks, "Why did he cover a Nirvana song?"

After way too much time trying to screw some tiny-ass screws and stringing up some copper stereo wire, I finally have a working stereo in my lil' NJ bedroom. Breaking it in with some Creedence, Thee Oh Sees, and Replacements. Unfortunately the bookshelf space situation was already dire, and now is insane. Every shelf has a double-layer of books on it.

11 inch tall speakers are not great for bass. But the sound overall is pretty good. Both speakers pointed directly at my bed, for making out let's be honest I am sitting on/in my bed at almost all times when I am home.

Holy cow. Maybe the best used record haul of my career. Although, to be fair, this was partially because I have never before bought a used record that cost more than $20. I got the 2nd Feelies album, Sweetheart of the Rodeo, In the Court of the Crimson King, and Elizabeth Cotten.

Good news: people online are selling that Elizabeth Cotten record for $50, so if I get buyer's remorse I can flip it.

Also went through and sorted my records today. I was pleased to see I have not accidentally bought any doubles. It's also great looking at all the covers... the images are just so much cooler when they're 12 inches tall than when they're on my laptop screen.

The Agent Intellect by Protomartyr came with a big square black and white poster of the album cover, so now this guy is watching me sleep.

After getting stood up on a date I was driving home in a major nihilistic self-loathing spiral and then was inspired to listen to this jam.

I think it is pretty counter to my entire lifestyle/life philosophy whatever, but it is really really important for me to occasionally have moments where I am blasting punk music and feeling the surge of "this is me, I do not need your permission or approval to do whatever the fuck I want."

Fuck You Monday?

Nice! After I saw that video I went and added a couple of their albums to the queue. Haven't had a chance to listen yet. What albums are your favorite?

I think I finally get Elliott Smith!

Also bands known for their lyrics sometimes make the best instrumentals!
