Let’s Get Out Of This Country, the new Camera Obscura album, is pretty good. I bought it last night. Downloaded it on Soulseek around 8:00, listened to it between 8:30 – 9:30 while I did work, liked it, signed on to eMusic and downloaded the real version around 9:35.

Also good (so far…I’m only a few songs in) is Or from a Japanese band called Spangle Call Lilli Line. I don’t know what it is with me and Japanese bands (or at least Japanese lyrics) lately. I heard about them on an old 75minutes podcast; I’m several months behind but doing my best to catch up.

It’s fun to meet and talk to people who’re smarter than you, but it’s a little intimidating when they’re a freaking student. I mean, I’d like to think I’m a pretty smart guy; I read Wealth Of Nations, and I think I even understood it. It was about girls, right? Just kidding. Anyway, I should just never google people before I meet them; it’s depressing how little I’ve accomplished at the age of 30, let alone 20-whatever.
