DMAU5!!! I would see that guy a multiple times! J.Zimmerman is such a cool dude. My friend wants to see Pretty Lights. I caught As Tall As Lions at the Loft Monday night. Good show though I hadn't listened to any of their music until I checked out their myspace 30 mins before heading over to campus. I've listened through Yeasayer's album once, couldn't decide if I like it and so left it in the limbo that is my desktop along with all the other music files I haven't put into proper folders yet due to undefined status. La Roux. Wolfgang Gartner. She & Him I don't care for. Fuck all the bloggers and hype. I just don't like Zooey Deschenel's character in 500 Days of Summer and she seems to keep that sort of air in her music/music videos. Fuck all the hype about Passion Pit too. I listened to one of their albums and was annoyed. Fuck that. I like one remix of that song that's a single, the one with the high-pitched kids. The remix of it. Fuck cutesy high-pitched voices. Aeroplane I would like to check out, solely because of the Aeroplane remix of Au Revoir Simone's "Another Likely Story". Yeah, I don't keep up with the music blog world much – whatever, that's the only Aeroplane song/remix I have. My over 21 friends went to Voyeur in downtown SD Wednesday night to see Proxy. So Proxy must be good. Will go check out. I know I have a couple proxy songs in my electro playlist/remixes somewhere in my now almost full/not-even-enough-room-for-another-320kbps-trance-song iPod. Hockey I heard is good. Heard their song on Live105's soundcheck but don't remember how it goes or if I really liked it. Probably was decent to decently-good. Imogen Heap maybe. Could be a surprise made-my-night kinda show. Don't wanna see Benassi. Erol Alkan another electro DJ I haven't looked into but know that all my electro friends know so I might check him out. Ra Ra Riot I've seen twice. The Cribs maybe. Grizzly Bear wtf. I listened to all their albums but none of it has hooked me, save for Two Weeks, but only because it's a single and I've heard it on the radio before. Echo & the Bunnyman wtf old. h(who)tf is Fever Ray? and the whitest boy alive? Jay-Z I would check out because he's a straight-up g rapper, but the same time as DMAU5? no way. JZ>Jay-Z. in my pov, of course. Yeah, htf are all these other acts? Fuck me for being too indie to the point that I don't keep up with the indie music news I'm not gonna look up these people now. It's 4am Thursday but I'm going to post this for Friday because I like to do the one-post-a-day thing, I still have one more chapter to read for so I can sort of study for SIO1:the Planets midterm on Monday right after Coachella. 20 pages to read about Comets. Should be more interesting than the previous chapter about asteroids wtf rocks. Then I can finally get to the homework that's due on Friday but I'm going to turn in on Thursday since I won't be in class on Fri. Then after that I'll need to look through the old exams, and then look through the General Plan for an Alameda County city so I can start my analysis of it due on Tuesday next week for my USP170:sustainable planning class. Ahhomg. 4am rant/blogposting done.

Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist
Like indie music but don't have time to frequent pitchfork, blogs, hype machine, or scour your town's small indie record shop for new bands?
Solution: Blalock's Indie Rock Playlist.
100+ songs every month.
I'm still catching up on September's playlist. Kind of hard when I'm listening on my iPod, sometime I switch genres, then when I come back to indie rock I don't remember where on the playlist I stopped at.
Not posting the playlist here, way too long. But it includes new Why?. Karen O, Mutemath, Elvis Perkins + much much more.

Ahh I hate when I'm late to music. I DID hear a couple Arctic Monkeys songs on live105's soundcheck new music radio show when there was all this hype about them/when the songs first premiered in 2006 or maybe even 2005(?), and yes, I liked those songs, but never bothered to look them up. A few months ago I listened to their sophomore album, "Favourite Worst Nightmare", and was unimpressed, so yeah. Only now, the day before I go to their show at the beautifully renovated Fox Theatre in Oakland, that I listen to their debut album. Yeah, I totally win at this. Well apparently, this album is about the life of 19- and 20-year-olds, which is how old the band members were when they produced this. Actually I also listened to their latest album "Humbug" which features "Crying Lightning", and was about equally unimpressed with it as with "Worst Nightmare", so I think I'm just not a big fan of the Arctic Monkeys. I like this album, though. And hopefully I'll like them more after their show. =7
