05/02/2004: "What long drive home?"

Bands heard on my iPod on my four hour, 75 song drive home from Las Vegas (in no particular order). PJ Harvey, Les Double Six, Marilyn Manson, Weezer, Orbital, Saint Germain, Cake, DMX, Brooklyn Funk Essentials, Varuca Salt, Beastie Boys, De-Phazz, Melissa Auf der Maur, MC Solaar, Portishead, The Dickies, The White Stripes, Dirty Vegas, Death in Vegas, Rasputina, Kosheen, Tenacious D, David Bowie, Tones On Tail, Coldplay, The Crystal Method, Underworld, Shpongle, Janes Addiction, Lush, Remy Zero, Meat Beat Manifesto... uh, I'm sure I missed some. Ah, the shuffled iPod library. Nothing quite makes the long drive seem shorter.

Well, I've had the songs since they were released in Europe via P2P (don't tell anyone). Which reminds me, Why release a record somewhere a month earlier than the US? This had to encourage tons of downloading of the songs since we couldn't buy the damn thing for another month. All that said, go to the site linked above and watch the video for "Followed The Waves." It kicks ass. I'll most likely eventually buy the CD even though I have all of the songs already. I like most of the songs and I'm sure some of the others will probably grow on me after a while.

Oh, It doesn't remember my info either. I have to figure that out.

Ah sweet, sweet Melissa Auf der Maur. Don't tell anybody, but she's my secret crush.

the progression of our blog friendship demands we trade mix cds!

Oh. That sounds fun. Making mix Cd's for others always makes me nervous. I always feel like I'm going to look like such the king dork. Amy, are you open to all things no matter how strange, or do you like certain things?

don't be self conscious! the whole point is to get a taste of the other person's music. make something you'd like and i'll love it!
