blues and bluegrass

amanda has written a very spectacular blog on the reason for the santogold/santigold name change and i suggest you read it.

1. every day i appreciate the blues more and more. ive started doing this thing where i listen to blues radio before i go to sleep, and i like to think that im learning about music this way. and radio is definitely better at night than during the day.

2. magick- ryan adams and the cardinals

3. the smoothie song- nickel creek (bluegrass!)

4. oh god i love late night radio so much. nirvanaaaaaaaaa

5. i can recognize like any song within the first 5 seconds. even if its a live track with clapping at the beginning. i have an incredible memory for music. you should see me at name that tune its crazay. i even get the songs i dont like.

6. i have figured out college. i found the degree i want and where i want to get it. perfect.

7. amanda sparked a thought in my mind that a lot of songs are the same song. im working on that playlist, which will hopefully be my first full playlist in a while

lets thrash to joy division

1. i am man enough to admit that i absolutely made up the word "thrashing". maybe i thought thrashing like shredding and i translated that to the kind of dancing you would to do a crazy guitar solo and meh.

2. i have given up on green day. my latest rolling stone has a cover of billie joe standing in front of a flag and i can just tell he is thinking "my band is cool because we are in front of a flag but we hate america and im wearing a pointy hat. my drummers retarded."

3. i have two research papers due the morning after the shins concert. question. should this be submitted to fmylife.com?

4. LILITH FAIR 2010?!?!?!?!? nobody wanted it in the 90s nobody wants it now.

5. im convinced that 107.1 the peak plays lovers in japan at least 20 times a day.

santOgold

1. what is with bands avoiding new york city. it doesnt make you cool if you play 10 shows in buffualo and none in an area inhabited by people. im talking to you death cab for cutie, blink 182, no doubt, and ted leo...

2. santogold v santigold. santigold is such the stupider name and why did she need to change it now its just confusing. because santigold looks like a spelling mistake. 

3. is it possible to dance to wolf like me by tv on the radio? without thrashing? comment, i need advice.

4. the delta spirit is opening for the shins! ive just started listening to them and they seem very musical, like classically trained musicians gone mainstream. here are a few songs..

5. people come on 

6. gimme some motivation

7. streetwalker

know your onion!

IM SEEING THE SHINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@#$%^&*()_!@#$%^&*()_!#$%^&*)_

1. death cab (done)

2. the white stripes

3. the shins (almost)

4. dropkick murphys (d0ne)

not my best... ive mainly just been repeating mellon collie over and over. which btw i love how the track listing goes from 1979 to tales of a scorched earth.
