Well, the semester has started off with a bang. I had to drop one class because I didn't take the prerequisite and there was no way I was going to learn an entire class in a short amount of time in order to understand what the current class was teaching. Sorry Primates, maybe I'll learn about you in another semester, just not this one.
Musically, I have been somewhat lazy, but my musical tastes have been revived with the MOJO CD Compilation: The Ultimate Guide to Music. It's basically an encyclopedia of albums that MOJO Magazine found groundbreaking in their time. The book goes in chronological order from the late 1940's where Frank Sinatra started the whole LP thing, to the late 1990's. It's a pretty good compilation. I already have a brand new list of CD's that I need to buy. Damn, I'm gonna go so broke.
Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Beck, Devendra Banhart and MC5. I have to get their MC5's Kick Out The Jams. It's so good! The rawness of their live performance just strikes a nerve so bad that you either want to start a revolution or dance your ass off, whichever suits you better. Since I have been smoking a lot of pot lately, it helps that I have some good tunes to get me through the days. I recently ordered Patti Smith's "Horses" and The Sex Pistols' "Nevermind The Bollocks: Here's The Sex Pistols" from Amazon. They should be getting here in a few days. Not to mention the extensive list of CD's that I put on my refrigerator, in the hopes that my roommates will flood me with albums for my birthday, which is only three days away.
But on a good note, I feel like a good change is coming. Not sure what, or when. But it's coming. Indefinitely. But that's all I got for now. Will be back with more musical updates and whatnots.
