"Just Can't Get Enough" just came on my iPod, and now I feel like the quirky main character in a sitcom, like I should be skipping around my living room wearing a flower pot on my head or something. You know-- the single girl who's so kooky that it's actually endearing, who has a comically low-paying job and is always getting into scrapes.
It's amazing what a day off, sunlight, and temperatures in excess of 60 degrees can do for my state of mind.
Depeche Mode's new album came out Tuesday and although you won't fall for it on first listen, it grows on you exceptionally well. The only two songs that I'm not a fan of are "Spacewalker" (think NASA elevator music) and "Jezebel" (Oh, Marty, why? Why would you put a song that sounds like it should be in a made-for-TV movie from Lifetime circa 1991 on this album? I know you got to sing lead on it, but-- Man!). I also spent about two days listening solely to Gary Numan's The Pleasure Principle on repeat, and god! I'm kind of pissed that I let it sit on Kristin's CD rack for almost a year before finally getting around to it. His cover of "On Broadway" makes me ridiculously happy, and "Films" is even better than that.
TV On The Radio's Dear Science is excellent. I've been looking for "fun" music to fill the void that the Red Hot Chili Peppers left when they totally killed everything that was good and original about their music (see: Stadium Arcadium), and I think this will do nicely.
Currently, I'm also downloading Grizzly Bear's Yellow House, which I expect to blow me away since what I've heard so far has been really, really impressive. I really dragged my feet about listening to this band, but I'm glad that I finally did.
That's all for right now. I really need to get in the shower and then get some yard work done.
