Take this first one with a big grain of salt, but unfortunately the citations are pretty much all there.

Thanks Daniel Pinchbeck for the linkage.

After reading these, its hard to clear my head and it makes me pretty anxious about the next 10 years of my life.

Email for a buddy.

Just sent this to a friend, bunch of bands in my recent downloads folder, many of them not recent mind you, haven't cleaned it out in awhile.

Some bands I've been listening to lately.

Akron/Family, folk-influenced experimental rock very hippy, very communal, very dank.
Andrew Jackson Jihad, variously classified as indie rock, anti-folk, and Americana, two main members and shifting backups, "Love Song" is so great. Has alot of albums, I recommend "Candy Cigarettes and Cap Guns" for an intro.
Architecture in Helsinki, Very indie, Fingers Crossed album is slower and more mellow some songs almost Postal Servicey, Places Like This is a lot more up tempo seriously channeling the B-52's fun listen.
Boris, Crazy Japanese prog rock, girl guitarist shreds harder than anyone I've seen.
Caribou, not sure how to describe them, check out the album Andorra
Crystal Castles, Duo performing 8bit videogame dance, very awesome.
Dead Meadow, awesome stoner rock, sounds a bit like pink floyd if syd had stayed and they all kept doing drugs. Check out the Self Titled.
El Guincho, Mexican animal collective. Pretty much says it all. Very fun.
Gojira, French death metal that loves the environment and sings about it. I've only listened to their newest "The way of all Flesh" track Art of Dying is epic.
Health, awesome DJ.
Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains, Folk hobo rock. I haven't found any albums, only a few live recordings, "Acid Song" is stand out track. http://www.archive.org/details/jhatft2005-03-03.flac16
Liars, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liars_(band) I'd highly recommend getting both Drums Not Dead and Liars, totally different sounding, Fins to Make us More Fish Like is a great EP, on a whole 'nother level.
Man Man, crazy rock, check out the album Rabbit Habbits.
Old Crow Medicine Show, Straight Tennessee blue grass, performed by 20 something indie rockers. Tennessee Pusher came out this year and is super dank, O.C.M.S. is also super.
Om, super stoner doom music, bassist and a drummer, very long drawn out songs, get real high and listen to Pilgrimage.
Punkin' Pie, one off Pop-Punk project by some members of the acoustic punk band Rosa. Top quality.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spacegirl is my girl's favorite album, all of them are good. Also my girl's favorite band. Check out the Docu, Dig!
Black Moth Super Rainbow, super happy synth/noise, very good listen. They did an album with Austin band Octopus Project.
This Bike is A PipeBomb, Florida three piece folk punk. Check out "Dance Party With..."
Wolf Parade, essential Indie Rock.
Wolves in the Throne Room, AWESOME black metal. Been listening to their newest "Two Hunters" almost non-stop.
Tilly and the Wall, just listen, reminds me of Defiance, Ohio but with female singers.

X-mas

Hope everyone is able to enjoy the holidays despite the terrible economy and the awful commercialism x-mas is based upon.

Ever get the feeling you're being used?

What do you do about something like that? Do you confront the issue, or just hang on for the ride and see where it goes? I'm normally a "go with the flow" type of person, but in this case the possibility of being used is toying with my emotions so I'm not sure if that is the correct path to take. She says she wants to be with me when we're old, but I get the feeling lately that its more of just a convenience 'til I can be dropped and moved on from with ease. I just don't understand her actions of late...
