"What? I've kinda this blog for a year? Whoo freaking hoo!


I haven't been listening to music as heavily as I used to, since Rudy (my iBook) has puttered out. I have not money to fix him, and I can't exactly charge the Wedge (the iPod mini) to him to charge, as the brother has taken it to college. I have been using the older bro's PC during the day, and AIM has this radio feature on it. Rad.

I've been curious about Dub Reggae since Dan Kessler (of Interpol) goes on about it. So, AOL radio has a station dedicated to Dub. Heard an interesting Dub version of Karma Police. Odd, but not half bad. I like Dub. Puts me in a nice mood, but I don't think I'm going to run out and buy Dub records left and right. I might find that Radiohead one. I think they called themselves Radiodread. In either case, I'm interested in how they do Exit Music (for a film).

AOL Radio has been a decent substitute ( I have even heard Interpol played on the "Top Indie" Station), and much better than radio. I listen to STAR 101.9 + It's okay, but I remember why I stopped. Commercials, and some of the music choices. I like some emo, but man. I listen to Classic Rock on KPOI. That's nice. I stay away from the Hawaiian. I don't know why. I don't favor it as much. I should, seeing as the only thing I could play around the house is the ukulele as Jose took the guitar, only to find out that majority of the guys in the dorm have guitars as well. Dang.

MySpace has been a good thing as well. Finally heard Interpol's "Song Seven" with the Daniel "rap/spoken word segment/whatever you call it" bit. I had it on my profile before switching to Digital Underground's "The Humpty Dance" and I haven't been able to find it to put it back on since. I did find a performance of Song Seven on YouTube. I was not disappointed. Mr. Kessler is one fine lookin' man.

MySpace is also to blame for my recent addiction to Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy." My friend had it on their profile. I had heard the song before, but when I then looked on YouTube and saw their perf at the MTV Movie Awards dressed like Star Wars, I was won over. Genius. I will get their album when I get to it. That and The Notwist.

Anyway. Been a long enough entry.
