Man I can't wait to graduate. I never want to think about school again... Except for my multimedia class of course... Ah I should shut up. I'm just irritated that me and Em are not done making the custom CD's. And that the website hasn't even been started. Or maybe it is that school is driving me insane. dang diddly.


Alright, as I am sick of talking about my problems, I'm going to talk about some music I've been listening to lately.

The Sea and Cake: Everybody (2007 unreleased)
---Homepage
I got this earlier this afternoon and have listened to it once in the background. I know I haven't gave it a chance or let it grow on me. But it's just missing something. That flare 2000's 'Oui' had. I feel like they got a new guitarist or drummer, or maybe one of their songwriters had a breakthrough and suddenly became an evangelical Christian of some sorts. Something sounds off! Anyway I'm going to listen to it a lot more because I respect Sam and his band and they deserve 8 to 12 more listenings.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Soundtrack (1992)
---Wiki
Swell game, but the music is not as good as I remember it. Emerald Hill's slap bass playing will never surpass the jam layed down in Green Hill Zone in the original game. Never. The multiplayer music is the most memorable of the bunch. However, none of it is the same without random slowdowns and the sound of scattering golden rings.
I've been into old SNES and Sega music these last few days. I also got Secret of Mana, Mario paint, and every Zelda soundtrack.

Daedelus: Of Snowdonia (2004)
--- Ninjatune
Boy do I like Daedelus. This guys got his hands on the coolest sounding source material and just melds into the most inventive musical shapes. This isn't his newest stuff but it may be some of his finest. Or I may be that I forgot I had this album and havn't listened to it in a while.


Maybe I'll make this a habit. I enjoy talking and bitching about music.
