You’re tired my love,
I feel the same.

I’m having writer’s block again, so this is going to be a random kind of post.
Apparently Bonnaroo was this weekend. I’ve never been big on the camping with people who have been out in the sun all day, so Bonnaroo has never really appealed to me. My bad, I guess…
Sidebar – a parachute holding an airboat just flew past my window. Now I’m confused. Is this bonnaroo coming to attack me?
Two of the bands from Rock the Garden played Bonnaroo this weekend – The Decemberists and Yeasayer. Solid Gold are apparently holed up in the cities getting ready for the show and Calexico are hanging out in the south. I’ll write about Rock the Garden later this week.
Switching topics again…
Dirty Projectors put out a new album called Bitte Orca on Tuesday last week and I was able to pick it up via eMusic on Friday. Work hasn’t been very conducive to listening to music lately – too many meetings. So far, my opinion of the album is that it has potential, but it’s going to take a dozen more listenings or so to really get into it. Do I have the stamina? Probably.
Did I mention that stereogum is streaming the entire album? That’s the entertaining thing about writing a blog, people. I can take the time to check if I’ve mentioned this before. But… I’m feeling lazy. What’s the worst thing that could happen – me doubling my outbound links? Yeah, like that’ll happen.
Today’s song comes from the aforementioned Dirty Projectors album. Check out Stillness is the Move.
