Day 5

Sebadoh will always remind me of Ben. One of my good friends from Syracuse.


I haven't talked to Ben in a while.

I hope Portland continues to treat him well.

Sebadoh - Rebound. Amazon.com. Used.

Taking Requests

Chad put in a request for Weezer.


I only own two items.

The only two items you'll ever need.

Convenience Fees

P.I.L. played recently. I didn't go.


I didn't think it would be any good. It might not have been.

I still regret not going. I wish shows weren't so expensive.

Tickets to anything for that matter. Fees. Fees. Fees. Sometimes even at the box office.

Go Buy It

Florence + The Machine - Lungs. Amazon.com. Used.

Spencer's Gifts

I can't explain why, but I believe the mallpunks of America should have embraced Placebo the way they have embraced Muse.


Placebo - Because I Want You. Amazon.com. Used.

Coulda Shoulda

I remember Adeet playing me a post-Building Sense Field album. I thought it sounded like Manic Street Preachers.


This one doesn't. Part of me wishes it did.

I could have stopped with Building. Curiosity got the best of me.

Sense Field - Living Outside. Amazon.com. Used.

Backtrack

Blur, Oasis, The Verve, New Order, Happy Mondays, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Super Furry Animals, etc.


I've been buying their respective singles over a ten, fifteen year period. Many of them upon release.

James have a huge body of work. I'm still missing a few full-lengths. I've only just started dabbling in the singles.

My self-imposed "projects" never end.

James - The Best Of. Amazon.com. Used.

Unforgiven

I wish Andy Bell stuck it out with Hurricane #1 rather than contributing to the slow, inevitable death of Oasis.


I'm not sure if I can forgive him for being a part of Heathen Chemistry.

Look-Alike

It was Momus' Pervert Doppelganger that made me fall in love with the word.


Sorry Curve.

Curve - Doppelganger. Amazon.com. Used.

Go Buy It

Vampire Weekend - Contra. Target. New.
