I'm starting my blog again. I didn't blog for a long time, and I didn't have anything useful to publish, anyway. I used to blog about personal stuff on Xanga, but it became a pointless ramble and only taught me how important good conversation is.. in contrast to the introvert late-night Xanga-rambles. Blogging is supposed to be worth reading for others. My past principle used to be that blogging was to be worth reading for myself, but just like keeping old letters for the sake of future understanding of the past... well, we just don't want to know about the past. It's well-enough archived in our minds. And someday Xanga, Blogspot or my own harddrive is gonna seize to exist and that'll probably happen a lot earlier than any elderly eager to understand the past.
Now, music. This is what I love right now.. with links to reviews and mp3s.
Built to Spill - Keep It Like A Secret: Wonderful! Reminds me somewhat of Modest Mouse - but a little less silly and more beautilful.
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - Broom: Perfect songs, the mood is light and happy. Broken relationships are easy to remember without regrets when listening to this. [Mp3]
The Thermals - The Body The Blood: Very straightforward. I like the biblical texts. [Mp3]
American Analog Set - Promise of Love: So beautiful and mellow. I have no words. I love "Set Free" from 2005, but this previous release is even more beautiful. Even though it's so quiet it really stirs something inside me and the songs keep playing eventhough the stereo is off. [Mp3]
