apparently i dont pay attention. cause you know that 49 cents you spent purchasing westy’s 49:00? yeah, well there isnt a full 49 minutes on said record! there are only 43 minutes and 55 seconds worth of music. son of a bitch, we been had! in any event, you can purchase the remaining 5 minutes and 5 seconds @ tunecore, for either a buck or $5.05, the choice is yours.

no one will ever mistaken me for a music critic, and thats fine. quite frankly there are way too many people, spending way too much time, writing up reviews/diatribes that in the end, end up saying close to nothing that resembles any fucking sense. one guy’s words i do quite enjoy is sean moeller from daytrotter and his write up on horse feathers only deepens my appreciation. he writes like he’s got heart and soul and not just out to prove that he can string a bunch of hyperbole’s and dictionary inducing words together. of justin ringles’ songwriting he had this to say:

He writes words as splendidly obtuse and heartwarming as Sam Beam, but makes almost all of them into the final conversation between Charlotte and Bob Harris at the end of Sophia Coppola’s “Lost In Translation,” in the thoroughfare in Tokyo, where understandable phrases melt into a louder clatter and yet tiny strains of the audible fall just short, leaving a mark of savory suspense as a memento.

after listening to a few tracks, both from a daytrotter session, and the first single from their upcoming killrockstars debut, house with no home sean’s choice of reference points are quite on the mark. i, nor do i think anyone else could have summed em better.
