<3 the new M83

Looking forward to seeing them at Lolla. My first time going to a major music fest so we'll see how that goes.

It's no Hurry Up, but I'm getting a kick out of it.

Listening to Weezer's White Album now. It's a good time so far.

I'm going to see Savages tonight, I'm pretty pumped for it.

I'm just kinda catching up to this band. This song blew me away.

A statement from Bruce Springsteen on North Carolina


As you, my fans, know I’m scheduled to play in Greensboro, North Carolina this Sunday. As we also know, North Carolina has just passed HB2, which the media are referring to as the “bathroom” law. HB2 — known officially as the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act — dictates which bathrooms transgender people are permitted to use. Just as important, the law also attacks the rights of LGBT citizens to sue when their human rights are violated in the workplace. No other group of North Carolinians faces such a burden. To my mind, it’s an attempt by people who cannot stand the progress our country has made in recognizing the human rights of all of our citizens to overturn that progress. Right now, there are many groups, businesses, and individuals in North Carolina working to oppose and overcome these negative developments. Taking all of this into account, I feel that this is a time for me and the band to show solidarity for those freedom fighters. As a result, and with deepest apologies to our dedicated fans in Greensboro, we have canceled our show scheduled for Sunday, April 10th. Some things are more important than a rock show and this fight against prejudice and bigotry — which is happening as I write — is one of them. It is the strongest means I have for raising my voice in opposition to those who continue to push us backwards instead of forwards.

I'm a pretty avid fan of Springsteen, I've seen him twice, I think I've got all the albums. I have mixed feelings on this. In a way it's great he's taking a stand. You've got to appreciate that, but at the same time he's only punishing the fans really. It's not like the politicians are out anything here but the fans don't get to see the show. If I had tickets I'd be pretty disappointed.

My favorite is Outro. It makes me feel a beautiful mix of sad and happpy. Also, that while we might not make it, a sincere hope in the triumph of the human spirit and the goodness of people isn't futile. Most of all, it makes me feel like things are going to be ... different. Maybe we can get past our differences and work together for a better tomorrow. A tomorrow where we can say phrases like "orchestral space-rock" with a straight face.
