i couldn't sleep sunday night thanks to the bURRess ending to superbowl XLII (congratulations giants fans, your team deserved to win). i needed something to take my mind off of asante samuel's dropped interception that would have sealed perfection so from 3am to 4:30am i watched the first three episodes of season 2 of weeds. damn, i forgot how awesome that show is. i thought the cliffhanger that ended the first season was crazy but HOLY FREAKIN' SHIT! the season 2 cliffhanger is like season 1's on a 'roid-rage fueled cocaine binge. unbelievable, yo!

i spent $10 on a magazine last night and don't regret it. the new issue of mojo (imported from londontown) has an amazingly thorough story about the making of radiohead's in rainbows. i had just read a similar story in the latest rollingstone and it's pretty incredible how much the mojo story blows that one out of the water. english people are lucky to have the music magazines they do. anyway, as i sat on my bed last night reading the story, it reminded me of reading a similarly thorough story in mojo some 7+ years ago while living in newton about the making of kid a. i'm a dork.

vampire weekend released their debut album last week and it's been the subject of a lot of debate on music blogs lately. since the disc was only $8.99 (less than mojo!) at newbury comics last night, i decided to check it out. my verdict after one day/two listens? it's a pretty fun cd.

this song had me bouncing along on my way to work this morning. its lyrics make me think of linde, which is a nice bonus.

this song by lightspeed champion is another recent favorite and its video makes me love it even more. read the signs!
