Catchup, Catsup, Ketchup...

it's going on a saturday now and so i needed something to do. i have a few items to return to the store, but that can wait. while laying around yesterday, i kept thinking on what to post about. i ended up deciding to sleep on it and wait till the morning. well, it's the afternoon now and i'm finally getting around to this thang here by golly.


i need a quick shave it seems...

as i write this, i'm currently jamming the latest album by Broken Social Scene called, Forgiveness Rock Record. so far, so good!!! i just love that band anyway, so even on a bad day they still make wonderful tunes.

and this is what my focus is on today. i'm playing, uh ahem, CATCHUP. you see, while i have made lots of posts, some of them aren't that up-to-date. i blogged on certain artists before they released their newest albums. now this was all done in the best interests of the artists themselves because they need to get their work out there asap before it all drowns in the internet sea. it really only takes one person to spread music to many many others. i guess i'm just another one of those types of people, but i do like to state that i'm doing it for the music and the artists benefit. (take that whatever way you want. it's a horrible statement...)


my sarcasm knows no bounds...

okay, so what we have here is a plethora of bountiful music sponsored by my waking habit. my habit is to eventually awake and then do something, so the something for today is this post yo!!! (ugh, sooooooo dumb...) anyway, we first get things started with Bedouin Soundclash and their latest called, Light the Horizon. after that is a 7inch single from Bomb the Music Industry! called, Everybody That You Love. next is the already mentioned broken social scene album and following that is the truly great, Diamond Eyes by the Deftones. in hot pursuit is the always stunning music of Envy and their latest album, Recitation is no small fry. they hit it out of the park once again. Interpol came back with a self titled effort and Jónsi Birgisson unleashed his second solo album. those twinkly folks in the band, Look Mexico awed me with their new full length album, To Bed To Battle which has album artwork that reminds me of hayo myazaki and studio ghibli and Superchunk proved once again that they can still be awesome no matter how old they are with the fantastic album, Majesty Shredding. and in last place are The Gaslight Anthem with American Slang, The Hold Steady with Heaven is Whenever and The National with High Violet. ok, so there you go and thanks again for reading if you did!!! (sorry for the weird links...) dig it...

Round Up Cafe...

i ate some good home fixin's tonight with my grandma from Jimmy's Round Up Cafe. if you are ever in oklahoma, get with me and we will go hang on the southside of town and have a chicken fried steak with okra and mashed potatoes.

today i got to spend some time with my buddy who teaches at OBU in shawnee oklahoma. she teaches english as a second language to foreign students. this was very interesting to watch. these kids had come from all over. brazil, albania, china, and even turkey. they all seemed really nice and were trying very hard to learn the english language. i wish them all luck because english is always evolving and i think it's getting more and more bastardized with all the street talk and lingo that floods from most music these days... (i'm lookin' at you rap artists!!!)

oh, and the point of going to these classes today was to get a different perspective on teaching and also to get some information on how to go about becoming a teacher. i still need to get a masters degree, so i have many options to take for my future. i guess i can plan ahead, but for now i'm still taking it all one day at a time.

okay, now the band i want to mention here is a few years old, but has already made their mark in the underground indie/punk scene. with obvious comparisions to Cap'n Jazz, American Football, The Promise Ring and even Minus the Bear, they have proven their influences, but have also made their own style and sound from the twinkly math rock that i always say is getting more and more popular. they call themselves Look Mexico and they hail from florida.


i still have yet to see these guys play live. they always seem to hit up the cities that are not oklahoma city!!! maybe one day they will stop by and i'll get my chance, but until then all i have is their music which by the way is freekin' awesome!!!

here is an awesome animated music video from them.


so here you have The Crucial Collection. this album compiles their first two ep releases as well as a few b-sides and alternate versions of newer tracks wich come from their first full length album titled This is Animal Music. that was the first thing i ever heard from this band. i suggest you get that album with the quickness. oh, and last is their latest release, the Gasp Asp ep. so with that i hope you all take the time to check these guys out and maybe stop at one of their shows sometime if it's anywhere near you you lucky freaks!!!


enjoy your next day like it's the last ever...
