i figure if i'm going to journal log anything, it'll be about music and not some bullshit about me walking the dogs at a specific moment in time……. so here i am several years since i wrote anything on here.

i need more new music in my life. it's bothering me that i can't find anything i like in this crappy-indie-infactuated current world we live in. i discovered on john vanderslice's wikipedia a few bands that he's taken on tour with him. i started listening to one of them: st. vincent and i'm liking what i hear so far. very…

i found this guy's rant about how nirvana is overrated… it is almost exactly my thoughts on the issue, perticularly the thought on comparing them to AIC. i like some of their songs, they were good… but they were not one of the greatest bands of all time. come on people.

Nirvana: One of the Most Overrated Bands in History

Issue date: 4/15/04 Section: Editorial/Opinion

So I kept hearing all the hubbub about the anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death on April 5. Ten years.

I never liked Nirvana. I understand what they did in the music…

patton-like vocals

patton-like vocals

heavy grimey strings….

also reminds me of tom tom club

similar to mike keneally's wooden smoke. more congruent

i hear carla khilstedt….

progressive big band electronic?

reminds me of a cross between dengue fever and carla khilstedt. what the hell language is this? indian sounding
