entertainment update

hi.
my name is jo.
and i'm an addict.
i've now watched the first 3 episodes of lost.
and the 4th is waiting to be watched in another tab of this window.
i can assure you as soon as i finish this post i'll watch #4.
so what if i'm a few years late?

no big.
i'm also a few years late on the Hellogoodbye album,
Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! and More!

hate if you will.
i find it quite refreshing to my ears, inundated with much heavier music.
slightly pop, slightly electronic at times.
sufficient emo mixed in to satisfy me.
i don't care about most of them, but the 'and More!' version has a million b-sides.
in case that's your thing.

but, i'm not late at all on the newest Thrice album.
as my friend aly b. put it, 'thrice never ceases to amaze me.'
one of the best bands of our day.
by the time they're done, maybe one of the best bands ever.
if you haven't listened to any of their stuff, please do.
i can almost assure you one of their albums will hit the spot.
now on their 5th studio release (i believe), they've run the gauntlet of sound.
not to mention recording methods, with this latest effort being self-produced.
in one of the band member's garage, to boot.
Beggars is at the least a good rock/alternative/post-hardcore/experimental hardcore/experimental rock/what have you album.
and it has such a great message from dustin kensrue, the lead singer.
look into it if you have a few minutes.

i think i could go on for quite a few posts just on thrice.
especially since i think they don't get as much exposure as they should.
but i'll stop here with just a few words about their newest album.

and i think i'll go.

i've got a chinese website with 'walkabout' locked and loaded and calling my name. ^^

lots of love,

jo

  1. I am waiting 'til Sept. 15 when the physical copy hits stores to get mine. Hearing your positive review is fantastic, though!!! I can't wait.

    When you get deep enough into Lost to begin discussing how all of life's mysteries may or may not be answered through this TV show, you just let me know. Welcome aboard!
