worst post ever
Welcome all. I had class and then work till 10:30 last night + my internet was down for most of the day so no time for a update yesterday, but I figure I posted enough stuff to keep people busy on Tuesday. With no internet yesterday I was finally able to grasp how addicted to this blogging thing I am whether it's updating mine or compulsively checking other people blogs. Yesterday was registration for fall term and I had no idea at all till like 5:00pm, my bad, I guess I'm a little out of the loop. Late or not I was still able to get the classes I wanted for fall:
History 466 The American West M, W, F 10:00 - 10:50
History 410 Modern Civil Rights Movement M, W, F 1:00 - 1:50
English 399 Understanding TV M, W 4:00 - 5:20
Finance 281 Personal Finance Tues, Thurs 12:00 - 1:50
So it's going to be a pretty full term especially cuz I'm going to be taking Spanish 203 at Lane community college nights in addition to the U of O load. This is actually the first time I've really though about that, fuck this is going to suck. Meh, whatever. After that fall term though I'll only need to take my thesis class for my history major and then the rest of my credits will all be electives so that'll be nice.

Today we've got the "Revenge of The Sith" soundtrack first off. I have yet to actually listen to it as I don't want to have anything to do with the new Star Wars till I've seen it. I'm sure someone's interested though. Speaking of stars wars check out this worst gift bag ever.
Next up we have the new Weezer album "Make Believe", I've been a =W= fan forever and am both blue and Pinkerton place in my all time top twenty albums, however they've been on a steady decline since Pinkerton and have gotten steadily worse eversince. I'm sorry to say that the downward spiral is still in effect with this album, I can say with all honesty that there is one only decent track on Make Believe, track 3, "This is Such a Pity". It's some serious new wave revival shite and much better than anything else on the rest of the album. In addition this album also has two all time lows for =W=, the new single Beverly Hills and remarkably a song that is even worse "We Are All On Drugs", which is truly one of the WORST SONGS I HAVE EVER HEARD MY ENTIRE LIFE. Check it out for yourself though and let me know what you think.
Lastly we have Interpol Antics, this has been out there for awhile, but it's a great album and worth a a few spins. I like it a lot more than their first Turn Out The Bright Lights, I think that it has a slightly poppier feel to it and doesn't drone and drag so much as the first did. His voice is also a bit more alive on Antics and he doesn't seem as set on flogging Ian Curtis's dead corpse with Joy Division knock offs. I don't know I just think it's a much more unique album where we see Interpol expanding their horizons and becoming more than just a one trick pony band.

I do not think the new Weezer album is as bad as everyone else does. Go ahead and crucify me. I am not saying it is particularly good, just not as catastrophically horrific as most folk seem to think.

yeah i seem to be having a pretty extreme reaction to it. i don't know i think it's just the culmination of my frustration and just being completeley fed up with all the shit they have put out. but then again to each his own. i wish i could go to sassquatch with you so badly. i needs me some more arcade fire!
I understand the frustration factor there. Believe me, I feel it as well. And yes, I am highly disappointed that you can't join in the festivities, we all need us some more Arcade Fire.
