missing bookmarks
I don't think I'll be going to pitchfork this year...i think. right now it's looking kinda....eh. if shellac pops onto the bill, it will add a little more urgency to my need to go. and if they decide to perform 'at action park' in its entirety (which, for some reason i'm fixating on like it's going to happen) i've booked a room at ye olde ohio house motel because i loved that place. even if it's a sucky tourist area, the place is so dearly out of the 1950's adorable. i have to admit, i would like to see vampire weekend. they've grown on me. a lot. there are a few songs on their record that i still can't listen to the full way through, but for every unlistenable song, there's a 'Walcott' which i'll listen to about 47 times in a row. i like the fact that although you can hear obvious (sometimes way too obvious) influences, it sounds fresh and best of all- unjaded. it's just completely joyous. i'm already interested to see what their next record will sound like. if all the attention will tank them and they'll start making shitty liars-ish records. not that the liars ever made a good record. in my opinion anyway. speaking of unjaded- i read 'you must be this happy to enter' by elizabeth crane yesterday. i love her. a lot. i need to get a new copy of 'when the messenger is hot' because i think i lent mine to ryan and he moved. which is only slightly fair because i think i ended up with his copy of 'all this heavenly glory'. although my copy of messenger had a bookmark from myopic which had a cool painting (maybe jeremy tinder?) of jonah and the whale. and i miss that bookmark almost as much as i miss the book. maybe more because i can get another copy of the book.
