Antarctica Takes It! on The Fabulist. Seriously, listen to these guys. They're fucking fantastic. It's great summer music, it's the new twee. It makes me happy, this new crop of pop bands. I'm a sucker for hand claps and strange instruments, I just want to be hugged by it all.
Any idea of what to do for the fourth? I have no plans. Tonight is...

Found sound on The Fabulist. This is one of my favorite posts that I've done, check out the songs.
[Jacob Smigel] was also selling a cd full of found music that he had complied from hunting for cassettes at flea markets, thrift stores, garage sales, and the like. It's really fantastic and beautiful. There are tons of different kinds of clips: surreal, sexual, confessional,...

That's sweet of you to say, and it's not like I'd go out of my way to listen to her, but it doesn't make me want to jam pencils into my eardrums.
Also, I agree with Subrosa about Tex.

I had a life affirming talk with the garbage man today, he said, "Believe in me, I take the trash away."
Fuck this, I say. Nowhere to go, nothing to do, no one to do it with.
Pity Party, Table For One on The Fabulist. The Smiths, Lavender Diamond, The Wrens, M. Ward, and more.
I wish I could get out of this town.

And you're real good lookin. 
Adorable vulgarity on The Fabulist. Check it out. I dare you to not smile when you listen.
Also, if you missed my update yesterday (for shame!), use your little browser to steal The Constantines, Eno/Cale, and The Double I posted.
Went to a fantastic Asssscat last night, Amy Pohelr was there. I hadn't seen her before. She's a funny lady. The only Upright Citizen...

You said twee.
fridgemagnet:
well maybe not going so much as dying on the vine. I haven't been spending much time around her lately. In case you didn't notice. I think FridgeGirlfriend takes up all my SG time, in a good way.
Taxi, take me home. The train takes too long.
Hooray for camera phone. Hooray for Ms Mary K. Hooray for comic books. Hooray for Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater and kitty cats and croissants.
Y'all had very interesting answers to the musical hero question, thank you for responding. And I am very glad if you enjoyed the Stephin Merritt.
Some pictures and tunes of my mood...

I ended up buying 69 Love Songs vol. 1 yesterday due to your post.
toothpickmoe:
Kitty!
Lots of songs by the Marvelous Mr Merritt on The Fabulist today. Magnetic Fields, Gothic Archies, Future Bible Heroes, the works. Also, some links to neat music videos. The Fabulist is on The Hype Machine now, which is very exciting. If you haven't checked out that site yet, do it. You'll love me forever for it.

Pete Seeger, I guess. Or Woody Guthrie.
I had to put two avocadoes on the compost heap today; I mourned for the guacamole they shall never be.

I am currently enjoying my second cup of coffee in a week. It is glorious. Oh coffee, how I missed thee.
Used my bum foot as an excuse to drop a bit of money at the comic shop last night:
-Y: The Last Man #46
-Local #5 and #6
-Walking Dead #26-28
-The Filth by Grant Morrison

I can spot a beer bottle from 1000 yards.
Scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen (this means you really love me).

I just bought a new bicycle the other day to replace it. It's super keen. I guess it seems like I should only have one.
I guess it seems like I should only have one.So. This weekend. Quite the weekend. I have decided that, instead of going into great detail as your attention spans probably match mine, I will update in list form. If anything you see you'd like to learn more about, leave me a comment and I will expand upon it in a later journal entry. So, with no further adieu, this weekend in chronological order:

I get all teary seeing Kaylee cry in that episode too! And I think Shindig is my second favorite episode!
Well, I busted my foot and now I can't walk or stand or drive.
Needless to say, this puts quite the hitch in my giddyup, considering I don't have food in the house, my apartment building has no elevator, and I take the subway to work.
Someone come lay on my floor with me and listen to Little Gray Book Lectures. Hodgman and Coulton demand...

Sorry about the foot, my dear. I'm trapped in an editing room.
decedent:
over the years, i've gotten used to climbing up the stairs to my fourth floor apartment, but elevatorless buildings still suck.
Back? Why yes I am, and the ole gray mare ain't what she used to be.
Good to see that you're still here.
I finally graduated. I'm off to Maine for grad school in August.
I called you from there this past january. at least I think I did.
Things are good in my camp, they are.
What's the latest from sunny LA?
