Methinks it might be time for bed. I can’t even begin to tell you why i’m up this late, since i’m obviously not doing any work and i’ve gotten way past surfing to all of my favourite sites. Mostly it’s because i slept half the day today … nearly until 2pm. I’m usually not given to such slothfullness on weekdays if only because i can’t ever bring myself to go back to sleep after i’m wholly awake, but today i made an exception because i really didn’t want to be anywhere other than in bed. What’s funny is, as much as i was fulfilled by the sleep, now i seem to think that sleep is the last thing i need and i’d rather just stay awake. I know i liked sleeping, and that i’ll like sleeping, but despite that i’m sitting here wide awake and typing – which in the greater scheme of things means nothing.


So, yeah. I suppose what i have to decide between is the moment and my continued happiness. Right now i’m having a fine time, but i should probably be asleep. It’s better for me. But, if i sleep, i’ll miss out on doing things. Sure, some of them might be pretty stupid, but there’s a gem in there every so often. But, if i go to bed, it’s all just dreams, and nothing ever comes of them.

If anyone knows what i’m talking about, i’ll buy you a cookie. Really. Try me.

Petland did indeed make it into our Battle of the Bands, somewhat due to the fact that i dragged Amy along with me to judge the bands knowing full well that her eyes would pop out of her head when she heard them. Yes – i’m a manipulative little bastard, and yes – i plan to love every second of their live set. Also confirmed were two local favourites: jazz hip-hop trio Fresh Batch and the hard-edged Dead Susan. Interestingly, both bands are fronted by members of the Drexel male a capella group Eight to the Bar, which seems to have no shortage of golden voiced guys to lend out to local bands. Their most recently acquired member was my fellow male lead in Good Woman of Setzuan, who plays guitars and drums after the fact of having an amazing tenor voice that i’ve been jealous of for an entire year now. Obviously i should be sucking up for the next spot in the group … but, oh, yeah, i should probably learn to sing first. I knew there was a problem…

Apparently i was supposed to “hunker down with a pair of headphones” and closely examine Kid A, but i frankly don’t have the time. I’ll be the first to admit that there are hundreds of albums that i would fall in love with if given the chance, but when artists like Sarah Harmer can grab me in a half a listen i don’t know why i should waste my time on an album that i spent hours listening to while only ever really liking two or three songs. It’s one thing to tell me that i shouldn’t just discard an album after a single listen, but i gave Kid A more than just a casual listen at work (where i’ve discovered tons of my current favourite discs, from Ben Folds to Portishead) and it never took hold. Maybe i’m just too into riffs and songs that can be broken down to a single acoustic guitar; god knows i loved Pablo Honey from the first time it ever entered the shop’s disc changer. or, maybe i just hated kid A more and more as i found out from Pablo that Radiohead really was the next best rock band and that they obviously failed us horribly before they could ever prove their point. Or something? I dunno.

Proving that a general public of music fans don’t have to be tone-deaf idiots, Village Voice has released their top 40 albums and singles of the year as voted on by subscribers. Singles really aren’t too entertaining to me, but i was very entertained to see PJ Harvey edge out Radiohead by barely 30 votes for the #2 slot of the year. The PJ album beats Kid A hands down any day, but Radiohead seems to win on every list because of more promotion and a bigger American fan base. Isn’t it sad when the popular unpopular rock bands drown out all the good ones? Anyhow, my faith in music has been reaffirmed by the fact that enough people ignored the knee-jerk reaction of voting for Radiohead to nominate PJ Harvey for praise. Otherwise, i was happy to see Aimee Mann win over Madonna, but frowned when i saw U2’s massive failure All That You Can’t Leave Behind garner more votes than the two ladies got combined. Finally, hip-hop favourites Jurassic5 found a spot on the countdown only one vote higher than Philly’s own Marah, whose album might not be amazing – but it’s definitely Philly. Like i said … this just proved that there are some actual music fans out there. And, with this year booked with releases from Ani, Weezer, Garbage, and Tori Amos so far, it looks like us music lovers are in for quite a ride :p

amesdevil: dude i so wish i was talented i want to be in a band.

amesdevil: if i learn a few chords you should take me in. i’m good for a joke and i’ll make you all look real good when were on the cover of rolling stone.

amesdevil: pleeeeeeeease

amesdevil: i’m being serious. i own an accordian. show me some love.

krisis: Dude, i think it’s in the cards for me to be the talentless one in the band…

amesdevil: i’ll be a fly girl.

krisis: Can’t you learn to play drums???

amesdevil: drums?

krisis: Erm…. why does this feel like behind the music waiting to happen?

amesdevil: because we’re gonna be huge.

amesdevil: i’m talking rolling stones.

krisis: Here i thought it was because of the alchoholism inherent in our plan…

amesdevil: we’re gonna be bigger than god!
