"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

"Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave..."

My theory by A. Elk, brackets, Miss, brackets. This theory goes as follows and begins now. All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is my theory, it is mine, and it belongs to me, and I own it, and what it is, too.

Ange's Odyssey

Between my b'day and a trip to the used record/book store, I've got a lot of new tunes recently.

Last Night - Moby

I'm listening to it for the third time right now. Some great beats and guest vocalists. His tribute to the early '90s NYC club scene where he rose to prominence. The whole thing's got a nice groove to it.

Mudcrutch - Mudcrutch

Southern roots rock. Great Petty lyrics, as usual (My love is an ocean/You better not cross it). And it's nice that the other members are allowed to shine with their own turns at songwriting/lead vocals.

When the pawn... - Fiona Apple

This is the middle album that I've been missing for a few years. And it sounds just like that: a middle album. Effective but not overpowering Jon Brion orchestrations/production backing Fiona up. Not to sound too much like Patrick Bateman here, but it was with the next album (Extraordinary Machine) that she really came into her own.

Rockin' the Suburbs - Ben Folds

This is one of my new favorites. By the time I finally bought a real, tactile CD version, I'd listened to it a number of times on Last.fm and through iTunes. It's nice to listen to it in the car/on the stereo now, though. Lush, piano-driven pop tunes and quirky, affecting lyrics.
I heard a brief excerpt of the kiddyfied version of this title track from his Over the Hedge soundtrack. This is what happens when pop stars have kids. Case in point, the new Barenaked Ladies kids-track CD.

Others: Momofuku - Elvis Costello and the Imposters and Play: The B-Sides - Moby.

Logic Hat Online- logichat.org

I recently got a copy of The Tiny Vipers - Empire Prism which is a creepy, minimal recording of a woman with a beautiful voice, an acoustic guitar, and an eerie set of effects peddles.
