The What...

As you can see in my previous post, my left foot has rendered me ineffective.  But while in this lame state I have not wasted my time.  I finished a great book by Dave Eggers entitled What is the What and was able to put together an entire 80 minute cd of music I have never heard before today.  Therefore, I have left you with a link that gives many reviews of Egger's terrific novel about the history of Sudan's Lost Boys along with some of the songs which made my "End of Summer Mix."

What is the What

The Pigeon Detectives - I Found Out

The Walkmen - In the New Year

The Donkeys - Walk Through A Cloud

Cut Copy - Feel the Love

Noah and the Whale - 5 Years Time

Keep Rockin' the Alleys

Gimp Foot / All Songs Considered

While I am bedridden for another day or so thanks to my left ankle, I have had some time to go back and listen to a few episodes from the npr's "all songs considered" summer 08' catalog.  I would have to say that it was interesting to hear the "summer preview 08'" show, and actually see how many of these songs/albums panned out.  Also, I have added a link to the show entitled "best records of 08'...so far." Enjoy the tunes.

Reason for boredom

Chicago Bound

As some of you may know, I have been accepted to the University of Loyola - Chicago where I hope to succeed in the art of graphic design.  Though I won't be making the full move until after the holidays, I will be making several trips up to the windy city to get my affairs in order.  

So, until I start using this blog for what it was originally intended, I will leave you with a few jams (one old and one new) that I have been listening to lately.

Of Montreal - "So Becomes Our Alabee"

The Black Kids - "I'm Not Gonna Teach..."
