self-titled: ^_^

today at work: new spoon, new interpol, new sleater-kinney. yay. except you know what i'm listening to tomorrow? the gd bright eyes album, i really think there's something great there. granted, there are about 15 cringe-worthy seconds over the album where conor gets really bad, but i can live with that. the album is great. there are some straight up lengthy folky songs a la bob dylan, and then just a mess of other styles and yet the whole thing fits somehow. and i will listen to it tomorrow instead of new music.

but that's ok, cause i previewed spoon and interpol to and from the airport for katie.

i don't know about the new spoon. it's intensely stripped down. hardly sounds like a full band effort throughout most of it. perhaps its a case of falling in love with girls can tell and just wanting that again. but i heard no shimmering pop a la me and the bean and no down and dirty strut rockers like lines in the suit and take the fifth. we shall see on further outings. and the interpol sounds fantastic. sadly, specialist is not on the album, but then again, it's nice to have a true b-side rather than have that first EP be all album cuts.

worked, came home, gtad, and then airported. and now bed.

found out the apartment is ready. thank god. tomorrow i begin packing and perhaps i will even move something just to know that i can.
