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.

Developing my celebrity

I just had a nice conversation with one Mr. John Richards, also known as John In The Morning, disk jockey extrodinaire on your favorite radio station and mine, KEXP. John is subbing for Don, the program director while he's on vacation. We spoke mainly of bands, bad bands that send their bad CDs to the station, bad goth bands that have their friends constantly harass DJs to get said bad goth band's CD played, and holier-than-thou local papers that publish poorly written and researched articles on the station. I also recommended some CDs to him to be considered for airplay (see my last post).

Anyhow, John is a very nice guy. I'm hoping to get to talk to him again next week, and maybe pick his brain about more stuff.

Got some new CDs from the station, including Trust No One by Dave Navarro.
Yep, that Dave Navarro - his first solo effort (I think). Interesting that both he and Perry Ferell have new records out...hmmmm...
