The Second Day.

Today I needed to listen to St. Vincent. Truly needed it for some reason. I didn't listen to any of it, but thankfully she is putting out another album this year.

For now I will have to make due with Bat For Lashes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=CA&hl=en&v=w0oNWc2j-cI) as my only fill for amazing female solo artists. There's a gap missing (Feist, St. Vincent, Regina Spektor) that just needs to be somewhere in every ones collection.

I'm learning the amazing abilities of the Internet I usually don't explore with a satisfied abundance of things I can go back to when there is nothing else to listen too. Still, the mysteries of full album leeks eludes me. Chromewaves is often my first places to go. There are easy-to-find mp3's for featured bands, and if you didn't notice, my blog is essentially following it at the moment (hopefully that will change. 

My collection has only slightly increased from the past post

 The Kills- Cheap and Cheerful http://mp3.insound.com/download.php?mp3id=3296&file=.mp3
(I've accidently downloaded it four times)

All have albums coming out soon. I'm most looking forward to The Kills album. While High Places fills a much needed sound therapy, The Kills entertaining and raw music is much more satisfying, aseptically in their uniqueness even as I try to fill familiar sounds.

The Kills are also in Webster Hall in NYC. If your around go for it. HOPEFULLY I will be attending (http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0000423F9D2D545C?artistid=871058&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1).

Today as I released my control of my musical surroundings, I was placed listening to The Flight of the Conchords album, not their live album, the actual one. Paying attention to it I was annoyed at the amount of changes they had made from their flawless stage performance. Sometimes the producers are wrong and sometimes you need to go with what you started with. Still, the album is and will always be highly entertaining.

Saturdays I have opened up to where I can listen to any music I want to. On that day I will create a play list. This was suggested by a friend of my fathers (the play list) to help with my hopeful career in music supervision and when I mentioned it would be very hard to do with only a few albums, my mother said "is this experiment helping you reach your goal." Not willing to hinder my future, I have opened up Saturdays to all music, which also means there will be a play list on Saturdays (Yay!).
