Stupid Jerks
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
been a long time comin'
so yes i know.. Stupid Jerks is sort of defunct. i would like to think it has to do with Dreamboat and i being so busy, but were we really? i won't answer that, but i think there may be more 'time' now for some bloggin of musics.
perhaps not "new" music, as i've been really out of the loop lately with shit. plus it's that time of year where releases are slowing down.. and plus the demise of oink is still hurtin'. ***but i do have one gem in here.
so let me just share some things i have been listening to lately:
do you remember Azure Ray? or when people liked bands from Saddle Creek? Cursive, anyone? Azure Ray was one of my favourites, i'll admit. it was either them or Rilo Kiley, and i think i was one of the few people out of anyone i knew who did not like Rilo Kiley at all. so the other girl band was Azure Ray and i fell in love. so i'm reliving those old days by listening to Burn and Shiver on repeat. sort of alt-folk country with some dreamy pop electronica...
the new year - azure ray
rest your eyes - azure ray
it's getting to be that time of year for me.. a time where i whip out the gloomy post-rock. you know, because the weather is shit and this music just seems to fit when i'm miserable and walking to work at 5pm. Mogwai has been a love of mine for a long time. i can't imagine people who've never listened to Mogwai before. you must have. if you're into post-rock music with heavy use of guitar distortion/effects with the tendency to be sort of eerie as well as loud/epic, then they're pretty much a staple. i think for me, Happy Songs For Happy People is my favourite album, plus it is one of their most popular.
get your gloom on.
killing all the flies - mogwai
friend of the night - mogwai
***and now here is said gem.
did any of you go see Black Mountain the most recent time they played Victoria? yes? okay thanks, that's what i wanted to hear. not only was it amazing and SO ROCKIN', they played a shit load of new stuff. and hey guess what! that new stuff is out (not in stores) and ready for your ears! feast feast feast!!
