stroke this

Jeez, who isn’t a blogger? matthew Caws of nada Surf has a blog. It’s only slightly more interesting than mine.

Death From Above 1979 will release a remix album. What is this, NKOTB- Games?

Oh my heavens. The Strokes release their new one, First Impressions of Earth on January 3. Seriously, the Strokes changed my life. And I am not just saying that. i was at a crossroads with my music tastes in early 2001. I had just come out of my college feminist music stage (Tori Amos, Sarah McLaughlin, Dar Williams on a constant rotation) and had played the shit out of my Weezer Green Album. My mother, of all people, saved an issue of New York magazine for me because it talked about up and coming bands. The Strokes were featured, and I later bought the album. yes folks, my mother is responsible for introducing me to the Strokes. Anyway, it made me realize that music didn’t need to be on a major label to be good, and thus my indie music fury was born. I will be looking at no other website than this one for the rest of my life. One of my best memories is seeing them at the 9:30 Club sometime in September 2001. Sigh.

The Arctic Monkeys are so hyped I am already over them but then came full circle and now love them.

Why oh why have they folled everyone? Doesn’t everyone see that the Fiery Furnaces are absolute crap?

I am kind of embarassed…I am usung Napster for a free trial and so far all I have been listening to is this. I can’t help it! Btw, does anyone know of a list of songs played on the episodes? The Shotime page used to have it, but now it just has lame pictures (and by lame I mean hot).
