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...

yay for music and yay for stomach aches...

Hype...

what a weekend so far. first off OU lost the texas game, so they suck. Sunday i'm goin' to see U2 in norman. i think this concert will either be great or boring. (it depends on what they play. i prefer everything they have done before the Pop album...) aaaaaannnnnnddddd last but not least was movie time. i watched Where the Wild Things Are and Paranormal Activity. first off the ghost movie. this was a good film, but not the truly scary flick i have been waiting for for a long time. the ending was okay at best, but the parts before it seemed to be a bit better. the effects were very cheap but effective for what they were. smoke and mirrors, or better yet fish line and mini fans...

now, where the wilds things are was a fantastic movie and one that i recommend to anyone who wants to see something more profound and heartfelt. they don't make movies like this anymore. director Spike Jonez was brave in his choices with the movie. it flowed awkwardly, but not in a bad way. at first i was a bit thrown off by how the characters interacted, but i eventually got what the point of it all was. i can't delve into the reasons why because you have to do that for yourself. to go back a little bit, i want to discuss the trailer. i remember how it made me feel. it took me back in time and i started to picture my childhood. needless to say, the memories weren't all that great. i think that's why jonez chose to make the movie seem so real and serious.

those who think back on the book fondly might go into this movie with pre-conceived notions and expectations. i want to tell you right off the back that this movie is not what you think it will be. it's much more than some nasty terrible disney romp through the forest with cute cuddly animal creatures and sing-a-longs. nope, this movie is real deep and pretty much a character study. pay close attention to max at the beginning and then the monsters later in the film. see how the actions that take place speak for the characters themselves and how it all is reflective of previous acts.

i can't go into much more detail about this movie because i believe that it's up to you to dive head first into the depths of it and discover what it all means to you. the critics might say that the movie is boring and underdeveloped. they also might just fluff it all and say the usual tripe that critics are known for, but you have to give some the benefit of a doubt because not all are bad. some critics actually "got" it. Peter Travers and Roger Ebert for example. i'm not a critic for anyone but myself and where the wild things are is a wonderful film that hearkens back to the magical films of my childhood. (Never Ending Story, Secret of Nimh, and Labyrinth)

now in terms of music, i want to just skip ahead to the post. the movie music is up to you.

okay, so here is another band from the 90's that often gets forgotten in terms of popularity (if they ever really had any...) and inspiration. the band is still kickin' it today and recently released a new ep and 7" single. having several releases on matador and their own merge records, this band have paved the way for the DIY ethic and truly remain "punk". the band is called Superchunk.

let's see, well the band was formed in 1989 and originally went by the name "chunk". the word "super" was added later and rest is history... yeah, so anyway this band is pretty poppy and also helped usher in the term "muppet rock". i guess a few bands that come to mind when that term is referenced would be Weezer, The Rentals, The Get Up Kids and more recently Motion City Soundtrack. the vocals are a bit nasally, but not to the point of sounding like Jordan Pundik from New Found Glory. heck, the term "emo" has even been thrown around some when describing this band. i can see the influence from the 90's scene, so i guess that can be justified in some way. awesome, so to get goin' here we have my favorite albums by the band. first is No Pocky for Kitty, then On the Mouth, and next is my personal favorite, Foolish and last is Here's Where the Strings Come In. so go out and see some good movies and listen to some good music while your at it!!!

All of this is so exhausting

But i don't want it to stop

Rubber ring around my neck

Lead me in circles till i drop

The sound of change beneath the grating

Pull a string, a magnet through

Keep track how much this is costing

I'll give it back to you

Are you keeping track?

Are you keeping, keeping track?

Can you let the rope down slowly

When you drop it to the dirt?

Can you pull the blanket over

And make this hole not hurt?

Are you keeping track?

Cause i am not

All of this is so exhausting

And i am ready for it to stop

All of this has been exhausting

And i am ready
