Well, I have not posted in a while, but it doesn't really matter cause no one reads this. Ok, on to the music cause I do not feel well right now and I need something to keep my mind off things. I downloaded Donovan's "Catch the Wind" this week cause I could not keep it out of my head. It's from the GE commercial that airs during The Office. I know that is specific, but again, no one reads this. I will not be uploading it because like a good boy, I purchased the song from iTunes. Yesterday I went to DC with my girlfriend to hit up some galleries and just get off campus. That was the big set-up, here is the story. So, you know all those street vendors that sell hot dogs and soda and stuff? Yeah, well, they also sell egg rolls. Is it me or does that not fit at all? Granted, all the workers of these stands are Asian, but still, it is a tad bit odd.
Menu: Hot Dog, Polish Sausage, Vienna Sausage, Soda, Chip, Ice Cream, Egg Roll. Ok, enough of that story, it is not and did not go anywhere.
Back to music: I got that Amy Winehouse album which was a somewhat pleasant surprise. Her voice is different but the music is solid. Very reminiscent of Motown with its own updated twist. Ok, I have to admit, I really have no idea what is going on in music these days, both the indie side and pop. I never listen to the radio and rarely read mp3 blogs or pitchfork and whatnot. I just want to throw that out there in case for some reason she is really popular right now. Yes, I do generally know when albums are coming out, but I don't have a calendar or anything with this all mapped out. What else, oh yeah, this band I'm From Barcelona (who are from Sweden...no comment) is pretty neat. The album is called Let Me Introduce My Friends and features swede companions Loney, Dear. It is all fairly catchy indie pop that promises to keep you happy. The song Treehosue has a very Polyphonic Spree sound to it even with the main instrument being a banjo. I guess that is all for tonight because I just do not want to be sitting here anymore, my bed looks a lot more inviting.

I like egg rolls. Also, Amy Winehouse was the single of the week from iTunes awhile back. Also, I didn't know Neko Case was from The New Pornographers that is really cool. I like them.
