nothing to do until about 7 today so i've just listened to the YACHT album See Mystery Lights which i've been after for ages, does not disappoint.

jay z

the blueprint 3 is pretty good obviously not as good as the records before it but worth coming out of retirement for.. that's the record.

7/09/09

The new twilight sad is crackers good, literally amazing. that was fun
yesterday I listened to the new Pains of Being Pure at Heart EP, probably grower although it did feel like the songs were missing something compared to the album.

Saturday

fridays child

friday's record was the new cribs, apart from some massive choruses on the whole very disappointing. it sounds confused, none of the cheesy indie riffs of their other records and the lyrics aren't nearly as witty as the could be. the production on it sucks too, muddily recorded, should have got Kapranos back on board.
Saturdays record is the the twilight sad's new album 'forget the night ahead', very much looking forward to that.
the cribs - cheat on me., actually quite good

Thursday

moby

for my record today (thursday) i listened to play by moby, partly cuz I was intruiged about the pointless lectures he writes in the booklets with his cds and party cuz it was one of the very few reasonable CD's we're selling at work (my other options included: Jamelia, M People, Ms. Dynamite, Sophie Ellis Bextor and a crate load worse). it was alright, the more atmospheric towards the middle was best but all of it reeked of MOR electronic music for middle aged men going through some kinda of mid life crisis.
Working in a charity shop is weird. you'd think most people visiting would be nice, if people want to find a specific book they should go to waterstones or amazon so they're either in to kill time or find something that takes their interest and then give their money to charity and if they're just in the shop to kill time then i don't have to deal with them cuz they don't come to the till however over working there for 6 months or whatever i've realised this theory is bullshit. utter scum by books from charity book shops. luckily today no cunts came in, i've started to realise how odd it is that the majority of my day is made up of making no impact on any of my customers days except when i'm especially nice or i'm hungover and a cunt, however their tiniest motions, how polite they are, how they look at me, whether they try and make conversation or ask ridiculous questions, whether they tut when I ask them for whatever rip off total is on the till or whether they put money in the tin can make or break my entire days work and then my days work which has little effect on my life as a whole can effect other peoples lives, the world is a small place.
moby
boring

Wednesday

wet hair

just finished listening to Glass Founatin, kinda drum + organ two piece who plan dark drone. kinda of sounds like someone recorded ian curtis singing over some Suicide and then smeared then turned it up and recorded that on a fisher price tape kit but slow. last track stepping razor is rad.

a record a day

Yesterday I set myself a goal to listen to a record i haven't heard before every day for a year.
To kick things off I listened to Ashes Grammar by A Sunny Day In Glasgow.
Luckily it's one of the best records i've heard in ages, so nice. for fans of M83.
Today i'm trying out Glass Founatin by Wet Hair.
