i often think or actually know that im missing out on a lot. i know i have mentioned this before, but my unwillingness to give much else a chance, at least musically, is not really helping in “expanding my horizons.” i hope that if mention this character flaw enough that i will see the errors in my ways and give myself a much needed kick in the ass. also, im going to throw it out there that i’m actually pretty nervous about this whole cruise deal goin down in less than a week. im a huge pussy, i know. anyone ever been on one? thoughts?
anywho, releasing record number 2, and their first in 5 years, not counting their split 7″ in 07, is the light footwork. i up until a few days ago, had never heard of the light footwork. first caught wind of their name on twitter and a brief conversation about em tween kyle of more cowbell and steve from baby stew – two dudes who’s tastes in music i mostly respect. then well what do you know? i get an email about the light footwork not 2 days later. coincidence? forgot to mention the name of the record is national historic landmarks and is due out on tuesday, 2.23. havent heard the whole record as of yet, but i dig this song enough to give it a whirl. im making a promise to myself to listen to it more than twice.
I’ve never been on a cruise, but have heard that it’s not scary.
I’m from Rock Island, weeeeee!
thanks liz, yeah ive heard its not bad at all, but still im apprehensive. ive been to rock island, weeeeeee! my cousin goes to college there.
Gregor: Been a long time fan never- written before. there is great David Foster Wallace essay about going on a cruise called a Supposedly Fun Thing I Will Never Do Again published in the book of essays of the same name. Look it up, it may shine a light on the whole cruise thing. It is a wonderful essay funny without being mean. Thanks for all the great downloads and introducing me to bands I wouldn’t have known about otherwise.
i am definitely going to seek that essay out. just the title alone sounds like what i went through…..
