i ended up buying up 2 cds to cover through the month. At first, i figured that would be the best way to go about things, especially if i end up ordering cds online, but now i'm thinking that it's too long of a wait for someone impatient like me. Plus, it will allow me to really soak in just the one album instead of multitasking like i'm so prone to do.
These weeks albums:
1) Modest Mouse - Good News for People who Love Bad News
i wasnt planning on buying it when i walked in but i love that Float On song and i just couldnt resist. My opinion of the cd is that it really wins with some songs and really loses with others. Float On and The View and Bukowski and The Ocean Breathes Salty are amazing cuts, but i dont think the rest of the album does it for me.
2) Mae - Singularity
i thought The Everglow was pure genius so i thought i'd give this one a try too. i dont like it as much as Everglow, but i'll allow some time for the album to soak in. i didnt hear as much of the creative and different drumming that i'm used to from the Mae drummer, but there were a few songs that reminded me why i would consider buying a Mae album. i think there's great writing on that cd.
i'm not sure what's up for the next purchase. i've been bouncing back and forth between whether or not i should plan or be spontaneous. Up til now its been a mixture of both.
The other day i listened to World Cafe and they played an Animal Collective song (that i'm not sure how i felt about) and then said that people are saying it's of Pet Sounds proportions. That's quite a claim so i have to admit that i'm super curious about that kind of hype. But i found this "My Girls" song on youtube and i think it's pretty impressive. It's grown on me, despite that i lack a fondness for more electronic-type music.
huh... maybe i'll give it a shot next time.
