np: "Big Day Coming" - Yo La Tengo
sometimes i think this band needs to break up or something to get the kind of respect they deserve. they never seem to get the press that bands like Pavement or Modest Mouse seem to get, but they've been making just as good of music for just as long, if not longer. they've just sat back quietly and released solid album after solid album. no controversies or anything, maybe that's the problem. oh well, regardless i'll continue to enjoy them.
i picked up the 50 Cent album today, only $9.99 and i've been hearing great things about it, so we'll see how it pans out. i haven't listened to it yet, and i don't exactly think it's gonna be good nighttime music. i've really liked the two singles i've heard so far, so i'm excited to hear it. there are few mainstream rappers i can really get into, but this may just be one of them.
still waiting for my Chavez cd's... dammit just hurry up. i want to hear those badly....
