corbaeMy first ever BP was the weekend before last! I met tons of awesome people, ate (and ate, and ate) delicious food, shook my fist at the weather, and was possibly persuaded back into bandom by the overpowering glee of MCR. Then I came back and fell into my typical post-con funk, but! I think I'm mostly over it now. Apparently the trick is shoving as many activities as possible into the week after I get back.
(Also, a coworker has lent me her Due South DVDs! I plan to watch the pilot tonight. I will finally understand you, C6D!)
My family's puppy is growing up fast, as they do. Here, have some pictures.
He's about 9 or 10 weeks here
And this is from yesterday. He's 13 weeks old now, and has mostly learned to sit.
He is very bitey, and he isn't even teething yet. He passes the blanket test, though, and is generally too smart for his own good. Also he is named Gibson, because my father is a music dork.
I'm going to try to start reccing music we get at the station, and I'm starting tonight with Kishi Bashi. His debut album, 151a, releases tomorrow, and you can snag it at kishibashi.com for $8.
I saw this dude last Wednesday, opening for of Montreal (he's a member of their band), and his live act is just as great as his music. It's just him, with a violin and a mic to sing & beatbox into, looping tracks like Patrick Stump. I even took video for y'all!
If you've seen Paprika, his stuff reminds me a lot of the soundtrack Susumu Hirasawa did, except with more violin and only one vocalist.
(While I'm recommending things, you should watch Paprika if you haven't seen it. It's gorgeous, trippy, and a lot like Inception without being anything like Inception.)
Bright Whites by Kishi Bashi
and for comparison, Girl in Byakkoya - White Tiger Field by Susumu Hirasawa.
I don't normally make a point of it, but these files are for sampling purposes only and I hope you'll either delete the file or buy something from the artist within a few days. I'll try to pick artists who have just released their first album, and the station is already indie-focussed--if you like the songs, support the artists so they can continue recording!
Finally, here's my week in the life picture for today! It's not particularly exciting, as I forgot to take pictures at all for the purposes of the meme. I took this one because pretty much all I did today after 1PM was sort Magic: the Gathering cards. This is somewhere between 3 and 7 thousand Magic cards, sorted by set.
and that's the end of today's giant catch-up entry!
