Stars, the Canadian indie pop band, just released a new album. At first listen, I'd say it's good not great, but give it a listen (download the free single above).

Thanks to Luke for pointing me to http://marriedtothesea.com for this comic.
This captures well my thoughts on fwd's, spam, etc. There is, of course, a serious side to this. For years, the large number of Nigerian spammers/scammers have had a negative impact on legitimate aid to their country.

music | My Top 10
Since the summer of 2005, these are my most listened to artists:
Of course, this chart has a tendency to preference bands that I continually return to rather than what I'm listening to most at a particular time -- bands like The National and The Hold Steady. I've enjoyed The New Pornographer's newest album Challengers, in particular the tracks "Mutiny, I Promise You" and "Adventures In Solitude." That said, I've not listened to Interpol or Spoon's latest. Does anyone have any favorites off either of these?

While not posting, I've been doing other things. I could tell stories that involve eight Durham police cars, or the tale of a vanishing automobile, or how a pub quiz made me realize I knew all the lyrics to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song. I could. I won't. I've been reading Kant's first Critique with Duke University political theorist Romand Coles, getting back into the groove of school, and tomorrow get a chance to see The Mountain Goats [my number eight most listened to band since the summer of 1995]. Life is good, albeit busy.
"there's bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet
no matter where you live.
there'll always be a few things, maybe several things
that you're going to find really difficult to forgive."
-- The Mountain Goats, "Up The Wolves"
