It’s the first of the month. Awesome. I wasn’t able to post up yesterday cause I had a bunch of stuff to do for my classes and today I’m just gonna do like a “my thoughts right now” kinda thing.
New Bloc Party album tickles my fancy
I don’t mean that in a gay way even though he did officially come out early January. I’m really okay with it all. I think it’s great in fact. Anyways back to the album - there is nothing I don’t like about it. To clarify that, it’s a really inspirational and amazing album for myself. As compared to “Silent Alarm” it is more melodic and beautiful. It definately seems like they took their time with it. It’s been well over two years since “Silent Alarm” and I’m really happy that this is finally out.
Green Tea is awesome
I’ve been sick since last weekend and have been enjoying an obscene amount of vitamins and drugs along with many different kinds of green tea. I havn’t found my favorite yet out of the 3 or 4 I’ve tried. Anybody have a tea they absolutely love? Packets or the leafy kind is all good. I was thinking about dropping a bunch of money on Adagio Teas cause there is so many to choose from.
Young Love
Tonight I am heading to the Knitting Factory to see Young Love. I didn’t go. I’ve been watching and listening and dancing Young Love for the last 6 + months and it’s been pretty exciting. These guys are definately going to blow up into the public spotlight now and for the next couple months.

Thats all for now - leave comments, I want to talk to the readers.

I’d have to say you have 2 palestinian suicide bombers against you in a 3 car motorcade.
Bloc Party’s new album - awful, i’m sorry, GOD awful. Little to no emotion was invoked in the songs. Yes, it may have taken them 2 years to ‘craft’ this piece of dog shit but rather than stealing from bands worthy of infringement they looked to their peers, (franz ferdinand esque 1st song intro - verse) & the 1st single is safer than a bunker under the white house. It seems they want to make the jump from club venues to modern day arena rock, but they truly lack the technical know-how as well as fervor in their tunes.
Young Love - I stumbled across this painfully annoying ass fuck through a social networking site called Myspace. Here’s how he works, let’s let him have a ’solo’ project that is compromised of the most BORING and TIRED songs out there right now. Typical song names, structure, content, guitar riffs etc. All around major label bullshit hyping a ‘fresh face’ to be marketable to the pepsi generation. It’s like The Rapture for 13 year old girls produced by Quincy Jones in 85′ with only a macbook and limited resources…
