jackshoegazerIt's been a long time, so I redid my journal design.
After seeing Juno, which was fluffy, quirky, and clever, I've become an instant Kimya Dawson fan. I spent many years deep into the rave/techno scene, so it surprises me that I like the new folk/antifolk movement. The two genres can't really get much further apart on the spectrum. I love the low-fi - hearing thumbs on guitar strings and off-key mistakes, affected or not. Jeffrey Lewis is another good one. I realize Daniel Johnston was the low-fi pioneer, but I can't really get into him. I liked the covers album, with other people covering his songs much better than I actually like Daniel's songs. Bright Eye's cover of Devil Town is one of my favorites off that.
This semester I'll be taking Intro to Sociology, my prerequisite English course, and Intro to Film. Classes start on the 15th. No more night classes, so I'm pretty excited. I fully expect to be an insufferable, pretentious, film snob by summer.
I have the day off tomorrow, and thus I am going to stay up late drinking Flying Dog Classic Pale Ale and fucking around on the internet, eventually making my way upstairs to feed the neighbor's cats while they're away (the neighbors, not the cats.)
Good times, cool beans, as them youngins used to say.
