Motion City Soundtrack

hi peeps! what’s going on? we’re still in los angeles recording the new record. it’s coming along nicely. this is shaping up to be un record fantastique (i think i just tooted our own horn again). right now i’m recording some harmonies to a new song that justin recently brought to the hypothetical table. this sucker’s gonna be tasty and the song’s gonna be pretty good too. luckily, i’ve got the apartment to myself tonight since my roommate jesse johnson is out with tony thaxton at a joeledbetter.com art show. so i can make pathetic little noises into my blue snowflake mic with no one nearby to hear.

so i go through spells with music where nothing new really grabs my earballs and warrants my attention. do you ever feel that way? well, these records have recently ruled my world and i’m so happy about it (and yes i’m really late on some of these):

rogue wave - asleep at heaven’s gate

phoenix - wolfgang amadeus phoenix

metric - fantasies

peter bjorn & john - living thing

i’d like everyone to know that i just spent a half hour trying to insert album artwork. i couldn’t get the formatting right and i was scared that it would look like garbage after i hit publish, so i yanked it and opted for plain text. my blog would have been so much cooler with images. oh well. i’ll practice up and try to deliver next time. me and my big mouth.

oh, for those of you twitterists that aren’t in the know, we all are on the twitter if you want to say “hi” or “wow. you’re an idiot for thinking that” or “grow up” or “yes, i agree that mario lopez’s work is waaaay under-rated” or whatever you want, really. we are @matthewstaylor, @jessemackj, @jcpmcs, @joshuacain, and @tonythaxton. follow us if you’re not already. i would say everyone’s doing it, but that would be a colossal lie. some people are doing it. you should be one of those some people.

alright, i’m gonna watch some conan reruns on hulu now. have a nice, relaxing sunday everyone!
