LISTENINGS

I've just been listening to the new Dodo's session (featuring Magik Magik Orchestra) on daytrotter. I guess you have to pay for downloads now? I'm a bit confused, on this one you can download it for free but at a lower quality? But on the new Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin you have to buy it. There is a bunch of music I want to get, such as the new New Pornographers and Avi Buffalo in addition to other music to rebuild my itunes. Its kinda nice to start new even if its just for organizational purposes. My mom just came in, they are going on a hike and then going to Costco. I want to go but Keighley is supposed to call me to meet up in a bit and I don't want to miss that... [she and Matthew are riding to Carbondale on bikes and I am going to meet them after as of right now. I wish I had a bike to ride with them but of course all of ours are MIA. Its annoying]... they don't have a schedule according to my mom so she doesn't want me to go and then not see her. Which is very sweet of my mom. I still feel guilty and really would like to get out and do something active. They are going to look at cameras at Costco, apparently they have the Pen P1 (the newest is the PL1 that I was looking into... but I don't think there is much of a difference). My dad told me they have $900 in Costco bucks and he wants to get one too... they are on sale for $490 that means my dad and I could each get one with the Costco bucks and just have to pay a little bit more. I don't know if that is a plan. My mom tiredly told me that it would be my birthday present if she got it for me. Which is great of course but I feel super bad and guilty now for whatever reason. Sigh. Why did I have to be dumb and loose my little digital camera. I loved that thing, it was my high school graduation present from my grandma and it still worked fine. It was also just good to take everywhere... its just so ironic that it would make it through drunk nights, one handed bike riding, bars, traveling, and so on only to be lost at the last possible minute. I regret not being more anal about looking for it. Of course K said there may be another cheapy digital that she has laying around somewhere that I could use, which would be marvy. But we'll see. So anyway. Back to music. After re-reading the Joanna Newsom article that K found on New York Times Magazine I really want to go to her town, Nevada City. It sounds fantastic. Finally, Russel Brand is on the cover of this months Rolling Stone, I am about to start the article.
