Time is flying by with no fanfare. this will be the most poorly spelld post... evar.... i am typing liek the wind... this is how life has felt... tyoed to fast with too many spelling mistakes and no sense of grammar... life does that sometimes. its doing it to me now... though make no mistake, i am not complaining... i o nly pine away for the time to post up more stuff on the ole bloggggg...

maybe i can even spell check this after the facct. but the time being, i am at work. i wanted to say hello to everyone... the blog still seems to be getting hits, and i want to apologize to everyoe that has been checking back to see whats new... well, theres nothing new here, but there is a ton of new stuff in real life.

my girlfriend Lara and I (and our dogs, Mo and Mugs) are moving, to the other side of our beloved Brooklyn. we decided that loft living in the ghetto, while it has its perks (dramatic fights, drive-by shootings, and easy access to cheap crack dealers) is not for us. Rooms are where its at, Prospect Park is where its at, restaurants where youre not afraid to order food from is where its at... having a backyard? that pretty gives a whole new lease on life. a back yard in the city. and we will live a block and a half away from the Brooklyn Museum. not bad.

so needless to say, things been mad busy. add to that work deadlines and some interesting (to say the least) credit/ identity theft issues and you can say things have been pretty dramatic over here...

nonetheless!!! now that we have the place and a time to move and a summer ahead of us, i will hopefully have time to pursue the other things in life that seem ever so important but are always the first to suffer: Playing my guitar, making art work, starting the t-shirts i have been planning for over a year, and posting on Zen.

what else is new? what have ai been listening to? what will i post next?

i have been fondly fallin in love, all over again, with the Shipping News. i have an amazing live set i am going to post up. one of the readers dropped the Rodan Peel Sessions on me and aside from it sounding awesome it has three new songs that i personally have never heard. with this was a request for Rusty, so i will do one final Rusty post ( i lie, i will keep posting it over and over for anyone who wants it, its one of my most favorite albums). so one final rusty post, i'll add the peels sessions and the How the Winter Was Passed 7".

i also have been meaning to psot the second Spacehorse album, which you all need to hear. and the Algernon Cadwallader demo, which i didnt like at first but am convinced it is one of the best things to listen to in the spring. they have a new album coming out and it sounds great.

I attempted to make Tortoise live show post, as I have two very worthy live shows that get lots of play over here.

And everyone should have the new Sinaloa already. Oceans of Islands, came out on Level Plane this month. It is one of th ebest records of the whole year by one of the best bands in recent times...

New Nick Cave is great, Gregor Samsa is great, 5ive is great, so much greatness this year already. I am sure i am missing a few.

and a new record by the guy who has gotten me listening to amazing electronic music again, Obfusc. He has been mixing his new album, as of yet untitled, but needless to say, if you are a fan of Boards of Canada, the Boltfish roster or any of the wretchedly labeled IDM music scene, especially those whose focus is melody then the new Obfusc is going to be an incredible thing for the warm weather....

ya heard!

hope everyone is well... i am well. i will resume posting soon. promise.. ^_^
