so sometimes we are in the office for 24 hours straight- and, really, it becomes more possible than you think, and you stop being afraid of the sadleir house ghosts. but it does mean we end up listening to SO much music and we'd like to take some time to share it.

i'm currently sighing heavily & pining over the four sold-out godspeed you!black emperor shows, looking at tickets on e-bay, and feeling like the mtl post-rockers would abhor the act of me buying their tickets from some asshole opportunist who gouges prices on the internet (they don't really like the internet)- but at least mogwai playing the day after will help satiate a bit of my post-rock cravings. in the office i've be listening to lotsa music that is prefixed by post- (rock, hardcore, punk) and prepping for stepping back into the 90s to see lo-fi indie rock originators sebadoh. yet there's a good dose of the new and the nostalgic to keep me going through these long, dark hours, so here's my most-played this week:
teen daze- let's fall asleep together
mogwai- san pedro
shotgun jimmie- bar's closed
fuck montreal- anchor
suuns- pvc
drive like jehu- caress
attack in black- you're such
an only child
fugazi- reclamation
portugal! the man- 1989
sebadoh- license to confuse
bright eyes- shell games
& uh, a shit ton of shostakovich
