haha so after over a month of having that survey up at the top of my page, i totally just realized that it says "Best albums of 2006." Haaaa omg i never realized it should've said 2007, come to think of it, at school i don't even know if i've been writing 2008 on everything... uh oh.
So i'm back from Pismo Beach, and must i say, absolutely beautiful. It's amazing how a few little towns down there seem undiscovered by the world, where you can buy a brand new house on the beach for 500,000? Unbelievable, when i make my first million, i know where i'm going. I went during the perfectttt time though, it was Elephant seal mating season, so i watched honestly a thousand seals either giving birth, or in a giant seal orgy. I have xxx pictures on my phone, but i don't have a digital otherwise i'd post them in a slideshow with boogie nights music haha. And it was also monarch butterfly mating season, jesus i went at the right time.
I NEVER realized how absolutely simple the ride to Santa Barbara was, that is nothing, its strange, i wasn't even tired when i got there, but try driving past sb into the middle of nowhere for another couple hours. Thats frustrating.
So i'm back, i'm practicing guitar and ready to start working finallyyyy.
Ok, so today, i'm posting 2 songs, the first is to commemorate the 10th anniversary of perhaps the greatest album of the 90's, "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea," by the fabulously now non existent Neutral Milk Hotel. This cover sounds amazingly similar to the original, now must i say this song has been done and redone too many times to count, but this is honestly the only good cover i have heard, representing how difficult it is to ever cover Jeff Mangum's vocal talent.
And the other is by DFA (ie LCD's James Murphy's) members Hercules & Love Affair. I have heard most of this album, and i must say, very, very impressive.This particular song "Blind" is incredible because it features guest vocals from none other then my true love, Antony (Antony and the Johnsons) This song showcases his vocals brilliantly, and makes me want to see Antony strip his piano and leave it for the dj set. Have a good sunday, i know i'm going to be spending it either playing guitar or studying for my stupid bio middy on mon. Good night.
