oddities

maybe it is snobbery. i know not. all i know is that sometimes i really just do think that my taste in music is better than everyone else's.

even better than my brother's, who i used to idolize for his musical taste.

and then other times, i don't think that at all.

today, however, i do think that. i am feeling the music snob inside coming out.


reminder to self: make data cd of good music to give to m forrester of the band mise en place tonight. the new joos? he mentioned clap your hands? destroyer is out. the arcade fire? spoooooooon rarities? (i should zip those and post them here)

other reminders, regarding upcoming things:
show: jan. 21, bobby conn, the cave, northfield minnesota (northfield? c'mon bobby conn! that is so out of my metro range.)
cd: jan. 24, cat power, the greatest
cd: jan. 24, robert pollard, from a compound eye (double?)
show: jan. 25, mise en place, uptown bar
cd: feb. 21, destroyer, rubies
cd: mar. 21, quasi, when the going gets dark
show: mar. 22, destroyer, the 400 bar
show: mar. 30, robert pollard, first avenue

there are things that i will not be able to attend, even in that list.

i also wouldn't mind it if someone would babysit my awesome child on my birthday, so that i could see the handsome family, who i did not see in november of 2004 with giant sand even though i have the tickets sitting here at my desk. that was kind of stupid. i don't really know why i did not go to that. oh, regret. alas, i will not see them, because there are other plans on my birthday. and, also, i will not see giant sand anytime soon as howe seems to be avoiding the midwest. oh, howe. i will just have to put in drunken bees and deal with weird kind of bloated long haired glum era howe. yeah, maybe i will do that.
