Go see this movie. If you have any inkling of Batman fandom, go see this movie. Christopher Nolan did an incredible job on the script and the cast was spot-on. Better than Burton’s Batman.

This is the part where I post because I’m waiting for my laundry to be done and avoid putting files together to regain my identity (Oh yeah, my identity has been stolen). I’m already up too late, might as well be somewhat productive – not the real productive, the kind of productive where you do something you like to do but haven’t had the time to do in a while, not something you have to do.

Here’s the mp3 roundup. Most songs have been stolen from other blogs.

iron and wine | dead man’s will
If you’re looking for a lesson in harmonies, there’s no better place to look than in Sam Beam’s repertoire of mist-off-water vocals.

the evens | mount pleasant isn’t
If you’re looking for a lesson in simplicity, there’s no better place to look than in Ian Mackaye’s book of hooks.

deep thinkers | rock the beat
If you’re looking for a definition of hip-hop, there’s no better place to look than in Deep Thinkers’ extended flow.

john vanderslice | trance manual and crc7173
If you’re looking for a lesson in recording, there’s no better place to look than in John Vanderslice’s layers of pristine analog fatness.

why? | miss ohio’s nameless
If you’re looking for a lesson in genre-crossing, go to the east bay and ask Why?

the pastels (ian carmichael remix) | the viaduct
If you’re looking for me, I’ll be falling asleep to The Pastels.

I took the LSAT today. Things may or may not get back to normal now. I’ve migrated a lot of stuff to wordpress, that is why this page looks like this. I haven’t put my design into wordpress and may not get back to it soon, but just wanted to drop a line and say that, yes, I am still alive, and yes, I have taken the LSAT. And I’m working, and I will buy furniture soon. Currently, my house consists of herbs birds keep eating, a table, a chair, a lamp, and a tv. I hate sleeping on the floor.

Since I have to go to work tomorrow, I have to go sleep on the floor.
