Listening Party
September 9th, 2008
After a dry spell where I hadn’t heard anything terribly exciting and was doing more reading than listening to music I begin to have some hope that things might someday turn around. Until then, I’ll keep on reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy (recommended by Mr. Barbot) and occasionally listening to the following:
- Bloc Party – Silent Alarm Now also wondering if the new album due in October will be good.
- Beck – Guero “Girl” is the sweetest song I’ve never understood
- Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Baby 81 Rock is rock and rock and rock and rock is rock.
- Echo & the Bunnymen – Siberia A lost 80s gem…perhaps because it was recorded in 2005?
What are thinking of The Road? Is Mark right, or am I?
I’m liking it a lot so far. I had to take a break until I was more steeled for the bleakness. I don’t suppose it’s going to have a happy ending?
Got the new Bloc Party and don’t like it at all. Really not one little bit. It actually reminds me of the Prodigy. Ugh.
