You're Dripping All Over The Galaxy

And so begins my second attempt at blogging. Last semester, I had another blog where I made shameless plugs for my (now on-hiatus) radio show, professed my love for Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, and got a creepy back massage from Bradford Cox of Deerhunter. My musical tastes haven't changed...much...since then (for instance, Ghostland Observatory wore thin after one listen; only about 5 of the Lightspeed Champion songs were any good). Still, despite my "indie" preferences, you're just as likely to see me at a GWAR show or listening to Finnish "drinking metal" bands or this song...

I hope to use this blog in the same manner as I utilized my radio show: to expose people to music that's probably not being aired on the radio (or at least not in this area). I've sent out e-mails to a few of my favorite blogs to try and figure out how you go about LEGALLY posting MP3s, though as I'm finding it's just as difficult and confusing as anything else going on within the music industry right now. (Note that these links are 3 years old.) Plus, I'm not really trying to endanger myself or the many connections I've made through WODU (various label contacts, promoters, etc.)

In the meantime, click here to view the video for my first favorite track of 2009, Animal Collective's "My Girls" from the album Merriweather Post Pavilion.
