When I notice Graboid posts back to back, it just makes me sad. The fact that I can’t squeeze anything in between, just shows either how lazy or distracted i’ve become as of late. It’s obvious that I need help with the blog, and i’ve extended an invitation for anyone to write ever since it started. I think a few emailed me but I don’t know now because I deleted everything a couple of weeks ago. So if you were interested, email me again and we’ll talk.
Lots of great albums this week, with the big draws being Björk’s Volta and the late Elliott Smith’s New Moon (which Pablo wrote about here). If u’re looking for something more, than I can highly recommend The Clientele’s God Save The Clientele, Great Lake Swimmers’s Ongiara, The Sea And Cake’s Everybody and Travis’ The Boy With No Name. I would listen to all the tracks here this week, as all of them are excellent in my opinion. At the very least, you should fine something interesting here. Anything you plan on picking up?
Over the past week i’ve started to heavily watch Heroes. Yes, i’ve jumped on the bandwagon. The only show on television that I manage to watch regularly has been The Office, but watching Heroes every Monday night has been somewhat refreshing. It’s sort of predictable though considering it’s major story arc is ganked straight from the Watchmen graphic novel. Regardless, the past few episodes have been great, and everything’s just become this giant cluster fuck and I love it.

Hey… I’ve been super busy, but don’t worry, I’ll be posting some stuff soon! (Like a Feist bonus track) By the way, last week’s graboid doesn’t appear for me…
Yay Maximo! I TOLD you you’d like the song! Hahaha.
I bought that album yesterday, and it’s fantastic. I love it.
Also got Travis, a lot better than expected (thank goodness). Now they just need to tour the US, STAT.
Sorry about last week’s Graboid. I just realize I had it set as private haha. Agreed on Travis.
