Purchases

Man, I’m weird.

I had a gift card to Best Buy, so I went to purchase some overpriced music.

To my surprise, they had Neutral Milk Hotel’s “In The Aeroplane over The Sea”, so I bought that.

Then I had to choose between Mars Volta’s De-Loused in the Comatorium, Moby’s Play and Jimmy Eat World’s Futures. Now I’ve heard some of De-Loused, All of Futures, and only the radio single from Play, but I’ve been admonished to listen to it.

I threw Moby out pretty easily…..I mean I have to listen to it on Rhapsody first. But Mars Volta vs. JEW was tough. I flipped a coin, cause I honestly didn’t care which album I bought.

Jimmy Eat World won. Woo.

So I chose between art-rock and pop with a coin. Man I’m weird.

And I’ll be posting again, by the way….I was consumed by a school monster for a couple of weeks.

De-Loused is a very solid piece of work and in my personal top 20 favourites (along with Aero Over the Sea) – http://www.triplux.com/fivestar100/.

It’s possibly not for everyone though – fragmented and highly experimental in places – but an exhilarating ride!

hey man,
you need to hear “Play” it’s a very good album but it doesn’t stand up against JEW
