wherever the night takes you



i read about this earlier today on Pitchfork. by the few sounds of the songs on myspace i'd have to agree that this might indeed be the return of richard d james aka aphex twin. but who knows.

i'm often bored when left to my own recognisance, so i usually do one of two things. mill about on the television switching from a set number of channels, wandering back and forth from vh1 to food network to usa to mtv to lifetime (yes lifetime) to bravo to bet to comedy network and then the cycle begins again, sometimes varying it only by order of appearance.

i do the same thing online. i don't know if it's my semi-o.c.d. at work or just my complete and utter boredom for the current moment that makes me compulsively switch from email to imdb to peerflix to myspace all in a matter of a minute. and i go back to each as if anything significant will change within a minute's time. the sad thing is most of these never do. it then becomes apparent i am just doing this to waste time.

after hours of this i then contemplate how much time i've wasted and then think of something construcitve i could have been doing. yet at the moment when i had this opportunity, i was too tired or lazy to do anything about it.

the death of ambition.



i've been listening to the new arcade fire album almost consistently each day, if not just for the song 'No Cars Go.' It might just be the most emotionally driven song for me this year right beside 'Mapped by What Surrounded Them' from The Twilight Sad's album.



Go get these albums NOW!
