something
- from jenandtonic
so i've been cleaning and launderizing and generally tidying up, as i am expecting my dad to show up... sometime. he's flying in from... uh... i don't know, somewhere. clearly i have limited information here. a phone call home confirmed that, yes, he's flying in today and no, i don't know when, either. thanks, mom, FOR NOTHING. so here i sit, wondering when he will pull up and do i want to wash another load of laundry and should i eat dinner and does the floor REALLY need vacuuming?
and what's up with not blogging on the weekend, anyway? as if we've all got lives to which need attending. please. the masses are not fooled.

oh baby, part two
okay. so. i still think cdbaby can be a scary place. but as long as you know what you're looking for, it is host to some fine music.
for those not in the know, southeast engine is amazing. go here and listen to their new stuff [i'm enjoying undergrad], or here for older clips [one caught fire and in case of emergency are simply classic].
what? why are you still here? GO.

somebody please tell me why i did NOT stop in for some donkey coffee on my way to work? i was running late anyway... i mean, really, what's another few minutes in the grand scheme of things?
and then i spy someone eating greasy fast-food breakfast yumminess in their office as i'm passing by. mmmmm. droooool.
it's NINE O'CLOCK, PEOPLE. what is my problem? [and the answer is, yes i DID eat breakfast, thankyouverymuch.]
is it inappropriate to take lunch at 10:15?
oh baby
the most amusing aspect though, is/are the little write-ups for each album. i mean... these are so clearly written by the artists themselves. and they are, more often than not, SO bad. some have a much too lofty opinion of themselves and their works; others just can't spell. still others suffer from Overcapitalization Syndrome, As If They Don't Realize They Are No Longer Just Typing In Their Album Title. some people are clearly using adjectives they don't understand; a thesaurical smorgasboard of incongruous descriptors.
"Smooth, soothing Gospel tunes with folk & country overtones"
- for more woody/oaky overtones, try our merlot album!
"Haunting melodies, uplifting lyrics, and humor. Broadway shows meet folks tunes"
- schizophrenic's delight. and, whose folks tunes are they anyway?
"Country, Soft Rock & Beach"
- um. i have no idea.
if anyone wants to pick up some "Christian music... with an edge": from the looks of things, cdbaby is the place to be. oy vey.
smasgf
anyone in town have a copy of derek webb's she must and shall go free?
i just realized there are a few songs on there i'd like for a mix cd...
but bloggingpaul currently has mine. and he's out of town. of course.
it can wait a few days, but i thought i'd ask, since i'm in the middle
of the process...
by the way, if you don't have a copy of smasgf, you should. or maybe i'll let you borrow it. after i get it back. and stuff.
