Wait, are we in high school? Can we not be so goddamn melodramatic all the time? It's a broken social scene, and nowhere near as enjoyable as the Quebecois art-rock band of that name.
I'm worn out on partying. And there's another party tomorrow night, so hopefully tonight can be exceedingly chill.
I've been recently enamored of Largehearted Boy. This guy posts a grip of fantastic concert bootlegs, in bittorrent form, every single day. In the past week or so, I've download outstanding concerts from Radiohead (both really old and as new as last week), Wilco, Beck, the Pixies, the Old 97s, My Bloody Valentine, Talking Heads, and the Arcade Fire. Also, I enjoy Cocaine Blunts & Hip Hop Tapes. Though this dude isn't as regular, he's got a nice selection of underground hip hop mp3s. Since I've been checking it out, it's been some excellent b-side and solo stuff from Hieroglyphics rappers.
Finally, Sufjan Stevens has announced the tracklist for his newest 50 States venture, Illinois. Unfortunately coming a day later than the would-be-appropriate release date of July 4th, the ever patriotic Stevens includes such gems as "A Short Reprise For Mary Todd, Who Went Insane, But For Very Good Reasons," "To The Workers Of The Rockford Valley Region, I Have An Idea For Your Predicament, And It Involves Shoe String, A Lavender Garland, And Twelve Strong Women," and (I swear this isn't a joke, though it would be an excellent one) "Come On! Feel The Illinoise!" And yes, let me comment like everyone else: come on, Sufjan, if you're really serious about doing all 50 states, you'd better start knocking them off a little quicker.
