In the clear bfr school starts again, listening to that which I hadn't in '03. That is:

+/- the acoustic/blip trip that has been serving me well as of late, a little too straightforward, corny moby drops for me but lovely

my favorite: slim moon just posted something on Girl Group abt how indie music is so much better now than it was when he got started in the scene (snicker), and this is just the type of thing - super overproduced girl/guy smiths meets slowdive overdrive that makes me jaded like, 'ya, everyone is doing this.' i bet they'd be good live. blisscent is really into them.

sufjan stevens: holy shit - my biggest mistake was to ignore this for the not very sensible reason that sufjan sounded like a dumb sort of first name. HOLY CLASSIC ALBUM, batman. If you like...songs...and you don't have this, you should. "detroit, lift up yr weary head" is my current favorite track - one of the few artists who can do a stereolab type thing w/o trying to BE stereolab.

and i just spun the mixel pixel, which will be on heavy rotation at 183 this week.

IN OTHER NEWS: the lofts in Olneyville, of which I've written some, have been raided by zoning folks. I believe that everyone was forced out and lotsofnoise.com hasn't posted any new info. typical of providence to do something like that after all the people living in those lofts are so community oriented and very much in to making their living legal. I can see the fire argument 100% but the kids who lived there and built out the spaces should have been allowed to bring the space up to code. I smell a rat.
