Sorry I slept on this.
Hey, Young Man's Boy EP is available for free download from Noisetrade.
It was one of my top ten releases of 2010. Kindof like the acoustic parts of Animal Collective, but without a lot of the annoyingness that has turned a lot of people off of Animal Collective. Sounds like you can stream the whole thing from the place, too, so you can sample it before you download. The first song, "Five," is my favorite on the album, so if that's no good for you, you might as well forget it.

** So loud. Some days I listen to nothing but The Goslings, Boris, and Yellow Swans. The rest of the world seems like a much quieter place after that playlist.
*** Live techno played by drums, bass, and guitar.
Goslings kick ass. They're so, so good.
I only recently discovered them, but they make great stuff (I have Occasion and The Grandeur of Hair so far). "Croatan" is an awesome, awesome song.

My last Friday at my current employer. It has been a wildly stresful week full of twists & turns, so I am glad it is coming to an end. I'm going to get a six pack of good beer to drink when I arrive in Winnipeg tonight. I need a couple.

How is "Watch the Throne"? I was a little wary to get it because of all the hype that surrounds anything either of those two do.
I went in with pretty low expectations and came out pleasantly surprised. I didn't really love My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and I didn't really bother with listening to The Blueprint III, so I figured I'd dislike this. The production is completely bonkers, it's great. Lyrically, they basically talk about how rich they are, so there's not a lot there. Being a huge Gucci Mane fan, I'm not bothered by this all that much, but it may bother others. It's definitely worth a couple of spins solely for the production.
The video for "Otis" is out now. I really like the sampling, so I might get it if you say the production is like that throughout.

That looks an awful lot like it could have come out of my iPod.
Most weeks I think the same thing about yours.

That was One of the more unusual lists I've seen lately.
I randomize by alphabetical order by song titles (it ensures all tracks are listened to before being repeated), but yeah, it was pretty funny to see I have exactly 10 songs that start with "One" and the first "One" was where my list just happened to start.
I really like Superchick.
this comment really, really, really should have been on a plaque. 🙂

My iPod's upstairs, I'll get it later.
More on Young Man:
He's a former Saint Paulite who's been in college in Chicago for the past four years (just graduated).
I saw him open for Langhorne Slim with Ha Ha Tonka.
He's probably most famous for his youtube covers of people like Deerhunter, Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Jayhawks, Beach House, Ariel Pink, and Grizzly Bear.
Magoo -- not sure if you'd like the music, but Camel has a nice album called Harbour of Tears whose theme is the Irish emigration during the famine years.

has anyone bought the new Fountains of Wayne album? I just ordered it off Amazon. I didnt know about it until I was flipping around the channels and stumbled into them on the David Letterman show
I didn't know about it either. I will check it out, for sure. They have always been a band that I have enjoyed if not necessarily championed over the years.
OK, I went upstairs to get my iPod and then I went out to mow the lawn and then I decided to cut down the dying elm tree. (It was not a huge tree: about 8" across, maybe 30 ft tall. No loss, looks like it was a weed tree that just got left alone. It's right in front of a row of cottonwoods.) Then I decided to make a campfire with the dead branches, and while I was burning them and had the chainsaw out, and was burning things, I might as well cut up the four arbor vitae that used to be in front of our picture window. We cut them down in the spring because they had been deer and rabbit ravaged and were vv ugly, but we had just moved them in whole back to the wild section of our yard. Then the kids came out to help. I had them use the loppers to trim the twigs off the logs. When we were done, since I had the loppers out and was already sweaty and dirty, I decided to trim the fruit tree branches that were hanging onto the garage roof. After coming inside, a quick shower, and putting the kids to bed, I realized I still had energy, so I should do something with it. I replaced the toilet seat in the kids' bathroom (it was a slow-closing seat that needed to be forced down), washed the floor while I was in there (anyone with little boys will know why), and replaced the sink drain on the second sink in the master bathroom, which had been leaking since we moved in.
It was a very "Give a Mouse a Cookie" afternoon.
But I still want to do this.

*Notes:
9. Performed by Elora Festival Singers and Orchestra, Conducted by Noel Edison, with Jurgen Petrenko on Organ. This is probably my favorite piece from Pärt. The organ and percussion really add something to what's otherwise a capella vocals, where each note has the same length. Especially the percussion: it's just amazing what a single whacks on a drum or ring of a bell will do in the right setting. That said, this is not my favorite recording. It sounds rushed to me, probably 20% faster than I want it. My favorite recording, probably because it is where I first heard it, is from the release titled De Profundis performed by Paul Hillier and Theatre of Voices.
Here's a closer-sounding version:

It's a setting of Psalm 130. Here's Wikipedia's translation:
Seriously, one of my favorite things.
E. I own this on CD. How could I pass that up when I saw it in the used bin at the record store in NEW ULM?
I totally know where you're coming from on the "Give a mouse a cookie" day. Those are the kind of days it usually takes for me to get any cleaning done around the apartment. But man, once I get going this place ends up immaculate.
