like a good boy, like dog

this is my future:


[you should probably be prepared]

so, sometimes i wake up, suck on a cup of coffee [i swear by the stains on my teeth, you'd think i drank it with a SIPPY-cup], think about working, but i get oh-so-helplessly sucked into the vortex that is "the mp3 blog." it just gets a little overwhelming! i'll find a new one that i like, and read like the last month's posts, and "oh there he has an expansive list of links to other blogs, and oh wow i never heard that band's cover of 'love will tear us apart' and oh man this guy says this other guy compiled a list of MANY covers of 'love will tear us apart' and oh i must listen to the cure one, oh that blows, and oh wow the calexico one is actually pretty good! wow but it doesn't really sound like the original and the U2 and arcade fire cover? wow man, i don't even know if those two should be pals or whatever and wait should anyone be covering joy division anyway wtf..?!" shit like this eats HOURS of life. i KNOW you know what i'm talking about.

i'm actually not a huge FAN of "the mp3 blog" at large [yeah, like it's a fucking MENACE to society]. i don't really get it...a good amount of them all seem to be blabbing about the same bands, all these newy-new bands, which seem to all have been, of-COURSE-coincidentally just mentioned by pitchfork the day prior. after that whole "snap-your-fingers-and-a-band-blows-up-yeah" shit last year, i'm pretty much totally-totally overwhelmed by the hype machine that is music news and music blogs, &tc. i sit around and wonder [academically, really] about the affect/impact of these blogs [we KNOW the impact {or potential HAND} of news-sites {mongrels! giants!} like pitchfork]...but the blogs, how much do they contribute to the proliferation of a band, to their "success"....?!! questions like this are why i'm not in grad school for sex therapy right now, i can't sort all the thoughts out, they're spinning and multiplying far too rapidly.

that was a total "if-you-give-a-mouse-a-cookie" thang there. i just came here to post the postal service's fantastic remix of feist's "mushaboom" i found on gorilla vs. bear. it's not bland, lame or boring, to which i'm highly sensitive lately.
