I rotated out some albums from The Brid. These two new albums are gonzo, and I am not sure if they will be back in that 6 CD changer anytime soon. The new Modest Mouse was a HUGE let down. Maybe 3 songs that I really like, and the rest gave me a thumb skipping workout. The new Parquet Courts is pretty underwhelming too. I love their first album, and the second one was just ok. This one is gonna collect dust for the next couple of years.
Also, that Glass Boys album pictured below, that too was a big let down. Thankfully Built to Spill and Faith No More have put out fucking awesome albums this year.
I have been getting more and more excited for the new Fucked Up album by the day. From what I have heard it should be a fun one. Now the great debate is do I order through Matador and get their wonderfully smelling packaging, or do I buy it at the local shop and get the lame Arts&Crafts version. Yes, these are the things that I debate when buying tunes. I think I might go for the Matador order and have it sent to Gary's place.

Every once in a while I will throw on a digital mixed tape. Tunes that have been getting me jackt. New and old. Whatever. Download it. Buy the ones you dig. Or dont download it. Oh well, whatever, nevermind.
