it has been awhile no

?

man, i don't know.  i have gotten lazy.  i guess.  i feel like i have had a lot to say, because the format of facebook is different than myspace.  because i could blog on myspace and share thoughts that took more than however many characters facebook gives you.  but instead of getting everything out here, i've been forgetting it all.

albums that are awesome from this year so far include:
-aceyalone
-mos def
-phoenix
-sonic youth
-mi ami
-dark was the night
-iran
-and more stuff.

what's coming out tomorrow? it is tuesday after all:
musically,
-rock plaza central! their last album was a pleasant surprise for me and ended up being one of my favorites.  now they are back and it's not about robot horses?
-tiny masters of today! kids! rocking out!
-there is not much of anything this week otherwise.  lame and weak.  yet rock plaza central was on page 17 of amazon's new releases for the week.  ?????  but next week is going to be huge.  gigantic.  a big big love.

some blu ray:
-dr strangelove! consistently in my top 5 movies of all time list!  brilliant in every single way.
-seventh seal! how about that!
-ghostbusters & spaceballs! don't know how necessary it is to have these on blu ray instead of dvd, but cool!
-lost season 1 & 2!
-john adams! i never saw it but i want to because paul giamatti and laura linney are two of the best.

no stores seem to ever carry une femme mariee, the latest dvd to come out of jean-luc godard's very fruitful mid 60s period.  i might have to use this internet to track it on down.  i will try stores again tomorrow though first.  speaking of jean-luc godard's very fruitful mid 60s period, criterion is about to put out made in usa! in july! i have been desperately wanting to see this movie for about 6 years now.  lord.  that is a lot of years.  i am old.

-hey that new jay-z song d.o.a. is pretty cool but kinda a rehash of the better song "no hook" from american gangster.  that's what i think at least.  and i hate auto tune as much as or more than the next guy, but it seems childish and below hova to go on rapping about that for a whole song.  del mentioned it in one line of one verse of one song on his latest album and that was enough.  it's lame.  make your statement by not using it.  like mos def.  mos def may have just put out the hip hop album of the year by the way.  if you didn't notice.

-grizzly bear and dirty projectors also (add them to that list way up top there) but everybody knows that already.
