I did it!

I finally did laundry last night!

Let's hear it for clean socks!

In other news: Ran into my former co-workers Marvin & Renee outside of the Starfucks on Pine (between 5th & 6th...there's one every block). Chatted with them for a little bit, and then ran into Anna, who was also busy being late for work.

(I promised her I wouldn't discuss her on the internet, so I won't. But things are...erm...OK.)

Gonna have to go up to KEXP today to drop off some CDs & get some new ones to review.

Some recommendations from this last batch:

Rebecca Moore - Home Wreckordings 1997-1999: This was a really cool record. Ms. Moore has a voice that falls somewhere between Bjork and Sinead O'Connor, and uses all sorts of weird electronics, strings, and plain ol' guitars. Reminded me of Laurie Anderson a little bit. On Knitting Factory Records

Favez - Gentlemen Start Your Engines: Yawn. How many fucking copycat emo bands are there out there? Learn some new chords, folks. This had a kinda cool cover photo though.

Maserati - 37:29:34: This band is from the same place as REM (Athens, GA), but you'd never know it. Completely instrumental, they sorta sound like the bastard love child of Mogwai and Hum - slow, delicate builds which resolve themseves with a rock hard wall of noise. Muy bueno.

The Lies - Resigned: Thibbitt. Pretty crappy recording...imagine if Tones On Tail were a Kill Rock Stars band. Had me reaching for the skip button. A lot.

So that's that. Back to work.
