The new Bloc Party single, Mercury, is going to be released August 11th. It starts off a bit… “What the hell is this shit?”, but it inflates into something better. If this single is anything to go by, then I’m going to assume the jump from A Weekend In The City (their second album) to their unreleased third album is going to be similar to their jump from Silent Alarm (the first album) to their second.

Here’s hoping they don’t let me down when the album is actually released.

Mercury by Bloc Party

Hello first of May…

1. Sister’s birthday today… go her.
2. I’m burnt, blog hiatus-ing… hoping it will last at least a week before I succumb the urge to post something inane.
3. This Landon Pigg song (which I lifted from his MySpace page) is stuck in my head:

Anybody want to go to The Kills concert with me tonight? I’ve already got the ticket and obviously it’ll be on me. It’s 8pm at The Paradise. We can grab sushi from Kayuga or some amazing Korean food from Super 88.

The Kills aren’t a hard band at all, “lo-fi” if you will. I think quite enjoyable to most, even if you’ve never listened to them before. Their sound is a bit unique, slightly acquired at first, but trust me, they will envelop you right away.

Anybody? Maybe even some ice-cream afterward…

In an Icelandic mood today. Amiina and Sigur Rós, thank you for keeping me company.

PS: The subject is an anagram, g’luck with it, doubtful anybody will be able to decipher it.

So it looks like I won’t be attending the Sasquatch! Music Festival in Washington state this Memorial Day weekend. And obviously along with that goes the idea of a road trip to San Francisco down the sewage pipe too.

I’m probably going to Craig’s List the tickets I bought in a couple weeks (here’s hoping I come close to breaking even) and cancel the hotel reservations I made (and here’s hoping they don’t bite at me or charge me). All my friends bailed on the festival + road trip idea, bunch of lamers (you know who you are!). I think I liked it better when my friends were in school, they could all take time off much more easily.

This trip was supposed to be a rejuvenation, a rise from the ashes, the Rebirth from the monomyth. Alas it wasn’t meant to be. I’ll find something else then, for we all know tuae ipsius fortunae faber es.

Today is most definitely a Beatles and Radiohead day…

I watched Once this past weekend. Worth it? Most definitely. Would I watch it again? Not for a long while. I don’t know why, maybe it hit a hidden button on me, but I found it to be a downer, which ironically I don’t think the movie is meant to be. I guess it’s the fact that it revolves around two people who belong together, but pitfalls of a previous commitment hinder any possible future.

I am hooked on the soundtrack though. The music in the movie was absolutely perfect, I fell in love with every song right away, that’s tough to do, on the first listen anyway. Also, the songs are quite uplifting, but the lyrics are dejecting. The contrast kills me, my heart doesn’t know which way to turn. I guess it’s akin to an addiction, you know it’s bad for you, but you want it anyway.
