I’ve been listening to so much music I have to do some writing about it. Motion City Soundtrack- My Dinosaur Life I got it in the mail today. I’m up to my third listen. It’s really good. Justin’s voice is probably at the best it has ever been, and his lyrics are still slathered in clever and honest lyricism. The band is in full form, too. The songs are still sickeningly...

Weekend Update: With AJ and Axel
With every school day seeming to blur with each other now, I’m looking forward to my weekends even more than usual now. Friday night (Dark Heresy night) was even more fun than I thought it would be. All of our characters were fleshed out a bit, we won our first fight, and I already have a thing against Lemur’s character (“Dammit, why did we let ‘Trust Fund’ do all...

"Oh, stylo...."
So I heard you like the Gorillaz.
It’s not a secret, I just know.
Today, I heard a new song from their upcoming record, and I’m feeling quite positive about it. The song is called Stylo, and it has Mos Def featured in it. I very much dig it: more dark Pop music sprinkled with Hip-Hop and the kitchen sink.
Then I saw the tracklist. I noticed some pretty interesting looking...

January sixteenth, two thousand and ten
Today turned out to be a really really great day. On Friday night I finished off another wave of applications…fun was exactly what I needed, and that is what I had. I started out going to school at 11 AM for an Eco-Alliance meeting. Ms. McD, Mario, Phylicia, and I talked about our planned trip to New Mexico, how we’re paying for it, and how we’re making it happen. It’s...

Coolest college app essay prompt ever...
“Along the edge of ancient maps it used to say ‘Here there be monsters.’ What does it say at the edge of your map and why does it say that?” -Kenyon College Common Application Supplement
My response:
I remember seeing images of the old maps with “Here there be monsters” on their edges when I was younger. The explanation I received from my teachers was always...

"You found a sweater on the ocean floor..."
Layout left me in no condition to go to sleep, and in other parts of the country it is now January 12th…which means I’m listening to the new Vampire Weekend now! I’m most of the way through it, and I think it’s about on-par with their debut. It stays primarily within the style they already carved out, and there’s still that particular charm to them that a lot of other...

Sometimes...
I hate how my mind works. Last night I stayed up until 2 AM feeling stressed out about absolutely nothing. My own personal rain cloud decided to show up and ruin my mood.
It doesn’t make sense at all. At certain points this last week, I’ve suddenly turned worried on cue. Without warning, my heart sinks into my stomach and I get this feeling of imminent terror. When it happened, I...

Listen!
I just pre-ordered Vampire Weekend’s new album Contra on iTunes (you get an extra track if you do!). Assuming I don’t find anything brand new and put up for free online in the next five days, it’ll be the first album of 2010 I’ll get. Not a bad place to start if you ask me.
I’m excited for new music to come out.
Here’s to new Motion City Soundtrack, Beastie...

Your pulled muscles and my heavy eyes...
This new year is looking pretty bright already.
I like staying close friends with exes. I like Scott Pilgrim. I like talking to other bass players. I like saying what I think. I like getting on tumblr and Facebook and liking everything. I like Switchyard’s album (seriously, someone tell me this is awesome). I like making fun of my dad. I like dancing with myself to “Dancing With...
