Whoa. I haven't posted in a while, huh? Don't worry, nothing much has really happened. I'm still looking for a job. It's real fun stuff. (Not really; it's utterly depressing, but I'll spare you.) Otherwise, there's not much more to report. Things could be better; things could be worse. Nothing new there. I've been trying to decide whether I should even bother with this site. It's embarrassingly out of date, for one thing. And well...I'm not sure my heart is in it anymore. Whatever. Who knows. I'll figure something out.
I did get to see the Dirty Three a few weeks back. They were excellent, and the show really gave me a new appreciation. It suited my mood so well it was almost kind of creepy. But it was good. Really good. Would've been even better had they played in my living room. There are quite a few shows coming up that I'd like to attend. Guess we'll have to see if my wallet cooperates.

I've been without extra money for a while now, but it hasn't stopped me from hearing new stuff (hooray for slsk). I'll post something soon about music stuff. For now, here's a little mix of a tracks I put together in some of my hopeless-est moments as of late. Enjoy.

BSS were ok, but I prefer the records. Onstage they're just too self-indulgent for me, even though there were moments of pure brilliance.
Clientele were pretty dull. About 1/3 of it was worth seeing. Could've been better if they chose some other songs, and maybe even just re-ordered some of the songs in the set. I like brooding, but they just seemed whiny and tired.
Bunnymen have sold out the Black Cat. Luckily I have tickets.
ok, it's official. you've waited too long before posting another blog. we want more jeff.
