oh crapola



So... three weeks left. And a whole lot of memorizing to do. god am i nervous. ok, enough of that.no more bar talk.

I was just watching Meet the Press and a whole lot of sad talk about the economy. I really need to stop watching that. I'm never going to find a real job. Here was the basic message: all the country is going to do for the next year at least is loose jobs. awesome. ok. moving on.

I bought a CD yesterday. Dear Science by TV on the Radio. Mike mentioned the band to me, and I decided to check them out. The song I have embedded above is my favorite on teh album so far. I think it's a pretty incredible song... The album itself is sort of all over the place. It has world music sort of indie feel mellow songs like this as well as straight funk songs and then more standard indie sounding things. Really enjoyable. And, I just read that one of the guys in the band was in Rachael Getting Married. In fact, he was getting married to Rachael. by the way, Anne Hathaway was incredible in that movie.

This TV on the Radio album as made me think of jamiroquai. I've always liked Jamiroquai and sorta felt that they unfortunately were too popular with cosmic girl and virtual insanity, because I think people just assume that they are a one hit wonder. But having listened to 3 of their albums, I think they're quite good. ANNNND, virtual insanity was, i believe, written by Stevie Wonder. That's pretty hard to beat.

Anyway, I've wasted a ton of time today. I need to finish what i should be doing.
