international export

so i think i will write in this like a personal journal. cool
ok, so i just stole this from nick who stole it from yoko.
shugotokumaru-"exit" fun, japanese artist, its a strange lo-fi sensibility with well placed production. it probably would sound really cluttered but it was made very well. kinda reminds me of flippers guitar/cornelius mixed with the avalanches, but not as complex. i should remember to buy this since its an itunes purchase and i cant really do anything with it.
FACTS-use the program VLC to play music, it works! no mucking around for passwords, VLC is better than that.
peter moren-solo project from the peter from peter bjorn and john. ideal for hipsters and douche bags. this solo album is actually really good, i think i like it more than the PB&J (i just noticed that! they're sandwiches!). the album is mostly acoustic, but some songs will kick it up a knock and have a full band playing and it surprisingly makes the song work. the cd art that i saw is terrible, makes it look like something some jerk make in his basement. still, the music is nice and thoughtful in a late 20's adult kinda way.
bill fay-"from the bottom of an old grandfather clock", is some ate all the beatles members and had a disturbing childhood. a really recent album from this english dude, has a nice, haunting and beautiful sound. hear influences of the beatles, warren zevon, and a little radio head. the production on it gives it an old weathered sound as if you were finding these lost tapes 40 years later and they have never been heard by any other living person. i really enjoy this album.
