If this thing were connected to some sort of dictating device that linked directly to my brain, then it would be the best-updated, wonderful content filled super journal that you all dream of. Unfortunately, it's not. So you miss out on getting enough of me to satisfy all your needs and urges. The best thoughts usually come to me right before bedtime. Wonderful, amazing things that would change your life and the world at large. But they're gone in the morning. Frankly, they'd probably be gone if I got up right that second and tried to share them with you all--but I guess we'll never know because Daddy needs his rest and he doesn't get out of bed for anything...except maybe breakfast. So everyone loses, I guess. It's hard out there for a pimp.
In other news, I got the new Arcade Fire album on the day it came out and I have enjoyed it ever since, even though it's probably not quite as good as the last one. It's a different type of album, though there are enough elements of early Arcade Fire there to let you know it's the same band and they aren't attempting some radical new direction. It just rocks a little more. And it's less cohesive...more like a string of songs rather than An Album, like the last one. All in all, I like it a lot now, but I'm not sure how I'll feel about it a few months from now. It might grow old quickly. Even though it has several great songs, I can't help but feel like the songs are all very similar and it might seem repetitive after a while. It almost feels like post-punk indie folk rock by formula--if there were such a formula. It's still different than almost anything out, and that makes it fun.

There's no such thing as enough.
Of Montreal is from Athens...and now they soundtrack Outback commercials...but I still enjoy them...
I like some of the Canadian music...Arcade Fire...Wolf Parade...Frog Eyes...I don't really like Broken Social Scene...those are the only ones I recall having opinions on at the moment...I don't know if I know anything about any band anywhere that debuted after 2004....
Aren't The Unicorns/Islands straight outta Montreal? Then there's the post-rock like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and A Silver Mt. Zion, too. All of this and what you mentioned I could care less about with the exception of the album The Unicorns did. Maybe if they all got fiddle players I'd pay some more attention. Or hot chicks.
I'm basically just going to ignore the fact I haven't been around the last few months and leave it at that.
I've never had any real interest in Godspeed! or Sigur Ros or any of those bands...although they certainly write the type of music that makes 14 year old girls talk about crying when they post their reviews on amazon.
But I did like that Unicorns album alright...I know they're Canadian, but don't know where from....
