women weaken legs!
top of the early, early morning to you all. i got my ipod back yesterday. thank god. now apparently they repaired it by installing the latest firmware – which was already installed, but whatever. as long as it works that’s all i really care about. the fuckers did erase everything though which i was not psyched to find. all my music is spread across like 4 or 5 harddrives and now having to find everything is going to be a bitch. mostly cause im lazy.
the race for record o’ the year is really heating up. i have truly fallen in love with the everybodyfield’s nothing is okay. its one of those records where if you just hear a single you’re like “yeah this is cool” but maybe thats as far as you go. the record, as a whole, is a wonderful piece of work. a real gem, if i may use that phrase. others in close contention are cease to begin, sirens of the ditch, none shall pass, the shepherds dog and pride. at this point i would really be hard pressed to pick a favorite. everyone of them possesses something totally different that i feel some kind of connection to. something awesome better not come out within the next couple months. i dont know if my brains can handle it.
in case you missed it the first time around here are a couple of everybodyfields and phosphorescent tracks.

back when i saw isbell at the park tavern one of the openers, pasadena out of atlanta, really got my ears piqued. i think everyone around the house kinda felt the same way too. the joint was pretty noisey but once they kicked into their whiskeytown/wilco am era fueled set everyone started to take notice. they had a great stage presence, that if it was fueled by whiskey and beer it would not surprise me. they put on a great show and finished it up with whiskeytown’s “hard luck story.” which if you didnt know any better you could have sworn they were the real deal. they just finished up recording and the record should be out sometime next year. this one song from said untitled record.

I’m not sure there’s a better day of the month than when my eMusic downloads come through and I can go off and download some of the great bands you send my way. I’m absolutely loving Nothing is Okay – you’re right, it’s a serious contended for album of the year.
Thanks for all the great tips. Keep ‘em coming. Music like this helps make life worth living. :-)
