Random Thoughts

I have spent a good deal of time sifting through my old collection, some comments:
1. I listen to lots of folk (or acoustic rock), lately. I mean more than usual.
2. Same for canadian music, female vocalists, and UK musicians, but not the Irish.
2a. I like every Broken Social Scene "side project" I have heard thus far, but not BSS themselves...although last I gave them a try was a couple years ago.
3. I might have grown out of that whole powerpop thing
4. Canada/Minnesota has the best hip-hop scene around. k-os, P.o.s., Shad, Atmosphere, Eyedea Wow!
5. By the end of the semester it is my goal to have heard every thing ever put out by BSS members and Saddle Creek Records.
6. I once again listen to weird french music. (Canada again) Malajube is quite good.
7. I vow to not listen to more than 8 new albums in a week, despite what work might tell me.
