Eating Paste

Ah, it’s morning. The smell of coffee. The open air. Departing airplanes. Smelling salts. The rodeo. Papa was a rodeo. If you haven’t, you must check out the Magnetic Fields triple shot entitled “69 Love Songs”. It’s a precocious little collection about all things love.

If Copernicus was wrong, we don’t want to be right baby. Actually, he gave himself that name as it was derived from the Latin meaning of his original name: Bono. My how the tides turn so quickly.

Don’t run with scisors. Not because you could get hurt but because they don’t like to move about too quickly. They like to take it slow. Really slow.

Like a snowball fight in July, it’s time once again for this week’s Top 5:

1. Seafood – “As The Cry Flows” (Marvelous melancholy embraces simple yet poignant tidal waves of sheer sonic joy. Yeah, that made sense. It’s an import so if you only buy one record this week, get this one.)
2. The Veils – “The Runaway Found” (We love records that are indescribable. This is one of those records. If you buy two records this week, definitely make this the other one.)
3. Brad – “Interiors” (We’re overjoyed that the vocalist of this band is resurfacing again. They used one of his solo tunes when Adriana got whacked. We feel like bad-asses when we say “whacked”. Stone Gossard was also in this band. Flashback: 1997. If you get three records, it’s not going to kill you…)
4. Damien Rice – “O” (Collectively, we’ve seen this Irish touring machine nearly 20 times. You know what? Buy this record as well. It’s the economy, sweetheart.)
5. Sparklehorse – “It’s a Wonderful Life” (Lyrical imagery at it’s finest. If you’ve bought this many records this week, you might as well just throw this one in the pile as well. You’ll go hungry but you’ll thank us for it later.)

Never have we seen such a beautiful day. However, you can’t go out and enjoy it now because you’re broke. Sorry about that. Just dust off the copy of Wayne’s World you got at McDonald’s for $3 with the purchase of a happy meal and ignore the day outside from afar. Slowly converting to DVD. media5.
