January 29th, 2009

Jesus! Slowest news day all year so far!

MUSIC:

I was reading today's relatively uninteresting music news, grumbling a bit, when this little beauty came along: new Animal Collective song. And predictably, it's phenomenal.

Besides that, though, today just had the clinically unfunny NME staff.

FILM:

New Tykwer flick that isn't The International! By the way, now that I know Tykwer did The International, it's become a must-see.

That Arrested Development movie is for sure happening.

Hey everybody, no need to worry; Ghost Rider is getting a sequel after all! God, the world can seem pretty broken sometimes.

WEIRD:

I've got nothin'. Sincerely.

WORLD:

As Democracy Now reports, Israel will keep the Gaza border closed until their kidnapped soldier is returned.

Obama's attempts to ease relations with Iran have, thus far, yielded mixed results.

PERSONAL:

Shitty news day it may have been, today was still a good one. Given, it was at least 80% feverish anticipation of the Lost episode I download. But I spent time with friends, crystallized plans, spent time with the homeless, resolved a paycheck issue... not perfect, maybe, but damn near, and the crowning jewel of this Music Week of the Year candidate's mundane school segment.

I mean, when you discover that your dorm's grocer now stocks vegan ice cream, nothing - not even the white powder on your bagel that makes you look like a coke addict - is going to get you down.

Holy shit, Tim Hecker's Sea of Pulses has a bass? Headphones are so rad.

2009 FILMS SEEN: 1.5
2009 SONGS ON MY ITUNES: 132
Current Computer Situation: MacBook Pro, rockin' out.
