great cause, great label. can’t wait til it gets here…

new Rentals.  more like the old Rentals.  which is good.

file under = bad idea.  Metal version of “Such Great Heights” by the Postal Service.

UGH. i suppose it’s a testament to how great this song is that this band can kick it in the face repeatedly and it’s still listenable at times.  just awfulness.

but did you bootleg it?

“Modern Mystery” - Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin

sarahspy mentioned this band in her 2008 top 20 albums list, and i was instantly mad at myself for not going to see them at The Replay Lounge the week before.  They’re from MO…so i figured they were just doing a local sweep tour…  oops.  won’t make the same mistake again.

lovely little song with a nice build.  love the guitar work on this.

“Mona Skips Breakfast” - Small

One of my favorite tunes from the 90s.  the drums are a little high in the mix…but it sort of works for me, even though the rest of the band probably threw a fit when they heard the final mix.  heh.  you should find this record, though.  it’s worth the effort.

Pitchfork: P2K: The Decade in Music

A massive collection of tunes form pitchfork. And somehow I’m completely ok with the fact that it’s sponsored by Haagen-Dazs.

i’m not completely on board with Pitchfork…but i do enjoy lists like this.
