it's been a while. holy shit, it has. anyways. i was spotlight last month, and i think i dissapeared. i'm not even sure i left any comments or ratings. i'm a terrible citizen here; my incoming comments are 5x my outgoing; and i'm just so lazy about it. i try to be in depth when i do comment, and that sometimes makes it hard for me to do it alot, just cos it's alot of work to actually critique a poem. and i feel like i'm being so cheap when i just say something inane like 'nice' or 'good imagery' or whatever. so yeah, sorry about that.
i guess i've launched the biggest thread ever in the forums. it's been there for almost a month now, and 325+ replies and 2000+ hits.

i was going to go to modest mouse (they were about the only enticing thing this summer, coming on short notice due to lollapalooza's cancellation)- but i was too slow. i was actually too fast, thinking that the tickets went on sale earlier than they actually did. by the time i figured out my mistake (several hours later), they were sold out. that would have been a good show- modest mouse, broken social scene and the walkmen. yeah. the minneapolis music scene hasnt had anything coming through for quite some time. i think the polyphonic spree are coming sometime soon. if it's not to expensive, i might go, just because i hear their live shows are really weird.

i hit 30,000 reads about a week ago, so yay me. granted, about 8000 of those are from when POTD counted every hit on the homepage as a read... but still. anyways.
so, yeah. iunno what else there is to say. um, albums i'm reccomending, currently:

explosions in the sky- the earth is not a cold, dead place
metric- old world underground, where are you now?
bela fleck and the flecktones- little worlds
belle and sebastian- dear catastrophe waitress
modest mouse- good news for people who love bad news
the shins- oh, inverted world/ chutes too narrow
sigur ros- agaetis byrjun (i prefer it to "( )" )
snow patrol- final straw

check em out.

peace:a
I am currently Bleh
