New week, new post. That feels like a rhythm that suits our slowing pace (metaphorically speaking, anyway). Unfortunately, it won't be much of a post.
Two new albums of note for the alternative pop fans in our midst dropped last week. I dig what I've heard from both, so enjoy:
Kurt Vile's b'lieve i'm goin' down... continues the former War on Drugs frontman's lyrical excellence and gravelly vocal sound. More fun for Gheorghies is the fact that Vile's singing voice is more than a little bit reminiscent of a combination of Greastruck, Almighty Yojo, and Dave. Here's 'Pretty Pimpin':
The new CHVRCHES record, Every Open Eye, has critics hailing the Scottish trio as the heirs of Depeche Mode, New Order, and the Pet Shop Boys, and lead singer Lauren Mayberry as the next coming of Annie Lennox. I think the band's sound is more optimistic and fun than that of the electro-pop legends with whom they're being compared, but that's a quibble. CHVRCHES are fast becoming one of my favorite bands, and my almost-14 year-old daughter feels the same way. That's either a neat father/daughter bonding thing, or the sign that my musical tastes run the same as teenage girls. I'll go with the former. Dig on Leave a Trace, but don't miss Bury It.

How do you attempt to choke the NL MVP and end up looking better more sympathetic?
more better blues
Matt Williams, Dead Man Coaching.
heard a lot of ex-ballplayers siding with papelbon. haven't heard a peep from the current nats team. i'd be really interested in that side of the story.
was there a fight or somethin?
The ex-players all seem to be playing the "he hasn't paid his dues" card with Bryce. The guy is the runaway NL MVP who has carried his team for long parts of the season, if he wants to dog a pop up or two after the team has been eliminated I have a hard time faulting him.
she's hawt, the chvrches girl.
ORF Rock, 7pm tonight

Penny Baker and Les Coole have taken some of the feedback from GTB and will incorporate it tonight!
So this is topless ORF night?
passed out at 7:30 and just woke up. ORF rock is muted, so that sucks, but i'm glad i'm reminiscent of someone . . .
