weekend ponderings
posted May 11, 2003 #
Couple weekend ponderings for your perusement:
· The music I keep hearing in the commercials for Trigger Happy TV sounds like a blatant ripoff of Elastica and maybe mixed with a little Blur. Anyone else hear this?
· Not that I care, but what the hell happened to Jewel? The fact that her new video is all "tongue-in-cheek" satire on the pop genre seems like piss poor cover for her new look (Jewel or Gwen Stefani? you decide). Or maybe it's just an all too clever way of getting her some publicity because noone cares about her poetry books.. either way, she's alienating her fanbase and going fast against the "image" (aka personality) she seemed to have developed for herself over the past 5+ years. Bothersome.
· On a personal note, I think I've gone full-bore into adulthood. I enjoyed the result, and the process, of giving my house a good spring cleaning. Man, who'd a thunk I'd be adverse to dust someday?
· Current musical selections for you to discover: +/- - find the song "Crestfallen".. that's my current jam, No Knife -get "The Red Bedroom" or "Fletchette" mmm, Aireline - the album sounds better than I could have thought.. get "Legionnaire" or "Traveling Through Dangerous Scenery", Monochrome - "Angelfire" is great.. I wish I could find more that wasn't on vinyl (you can hear the song here).
That is all... hopefully we'll have the Internet back at work tomorrow.
