Animal Collective - Peacebone

Accurate review of Grizzly Bear

Just thought i'd share this with anyone who happens to read. It explains almost exactly how i felt about this album. From http://www.thecoolhunter.com.au/music

It's hard to imagine any band that's able to utilise the studio as effectively as Grizzly Bear. The Brooklyn-based quartet seamlessly weaves instruments into textures, rendering music that is almost irrelevant to discuss in traditional terms of rhythm and arrangement. But Grizzly Bear's art is not something to be thought about, it's something to be felt; it sweeps through you, feathering imagination and unlocking emotion. While this is prodigiously modern music, the cleverness of its coordination and restraint of delivery makes it seem of a porous and playful past, leaving the listener lying on a hardwood floor in the 60s, reading Kerouac and smoking Lucky Strikes. A spectacular triumph, Veckatimest is as absolutely enchanting as it is thoroughly impressive. - Matt Shea

Japan Wishlist


Feel free to leave comments on this post for things you would like from Japan :)

You may or may not get them. Or you may get something that I believe to be more suitable for you.

I will decide.

A role model for Ben.

Hi Liv,

I'm sitting in my classroom at my computer, not thinking about the papers to grade or the lessons to prepare, but about you and your request that I pick up Grace from Acting Class so that you can attend Nia.

I want you to know that I support your motion practice. I think it's just great.

Sometimes, (whether or correctly or incorrectly, I don't really know), it doesn't seem important or valuable to you that Grace spend time with me. Rather, I think, sometimes, I'm regarded as cheap daycare, useful when it helps your life, but otherwise, my time with Grace is thought of as much less important than your time with her. If I am incorrect about this, I welcome your correction.

As I drove home yesterday evening, I found myself wondering what it would seem like to you, if I asked you to make a special trip into Talent to pick Grace up, be with her for 15 minutes, before I came to spend the rest of the evening and night with her. Would it make you feel like you were being thought of as a shuttle service? Or would you be okay with that? This isn't a rhetorical question, as I realize I don't really know how you see things.

Today, EPHS has its parent teacher conferences, so I'm stuck here until 8:00pm.

However, next week, I'd like to pick Grace up from Acting Class, and have her spend the night with me. I'd like Grace to be able to spend the night with me on Mondays and Wednesdays, with you on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The weekends are already divided evenly. This would free you up to attend your Nia class, your energy work class, allow me to be more involved in her acting class, and balance our time with Grace and our responsibility.

I want you to know that I consider your influence on Grace, and the time you spend with her as valuable and important, as mine equally is.

I may be confused, but I find that each weekend, I'm not really sure which weekends we're splitting, which is yours, which is mine. Maybe we could take some time to talk about this, so we can plan ahead. If we already have had this conversation, and I've somehow botched it in my memory, I apologize.

Hope you have a fantastic day. You can picture me, all afternoon and evening, corralled in a dismal cafeteria.

-Jay

MP3s

So from now on i'm just going to link to the places i found mp3s of interest rather than put the mp3 files on here... yes i know its an extra step (clicking the link to the site, then right clicking) but you will just have to deal with it. Liv and Louise, you guys can just pray to music god if you can't deal with this and music god shall provide... if you have been good that is.

so to start things off.... i have named a few songs that i have listened to and liked today, but, obviously, you can trawl through all of these blogs yourselves if you wish.






The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio (If you like this let me know, I also downloaded their previous album)

From Stereogum:

Apples In Stereo - Dance Floor (Some syck funky pop or something, super catchy)




LCD Soundsystem - Dance Yourself Clean (These two off new album, not sure who's into LCD and who's not...)



Also, how bout y'all post comments stating your thoughts to these songs or something yea? I'd like that...

Gladeyes Live

So not the most exciting of videos but just thought id post this one instead of the others that are on their blog cos im pretty sure this is when they played at chicks?? Looks like chicks...
