To any silent, unbeknownst viewers

I am sorry for the two month silence, for i do not have a design class this quarter but more of a job right now. if i knew somebody from bellingham was viewing this, i might of put them up just for the sake of advertising, but i don't think that is the case.

i have drawing class, but my professor has held my first and only good drawing hostage til the end of class. i took a picture of the it but the camera is also imprisoning the photo in it's internal memory. and sadly, neither me or three other roommates have a common usb cord...we're n00bs.

So with that said, just before the end of the quarter i will post up my featured posters i've made at my new job at the publicity center here on campus. it will be a nice treat i think. until then, bon voyage, and here is an update on my vinyls. im too tired to put album art up right now.

[[portugal. the man \\ "american ghetto" \\ 12"]]
---> really dig "when the war ends" and "the dead dog" for you harder-cored fans. not sure how much i like it as a whole. it certainly ain't their best but i wouldn't say it's their worst either.

[[Jonsi (sigur ros) \\ "Go" \\ 12"]]
---> "Go Do" is the single, and its good. especially enjoy the flute sounds in the beginning and that simple forward driving drum beat. unfortunately i haven't listened to it enough to give suggestions

[[delorean \\ "subiza" \\ 12"]]
---> "stay close" is the single, but its one of those albums with a very consistent sound, its quite nice actually. i like their earlier ep better just for its poppy-dance floor sound, but these guys are definitely one my favorite new bands. they've got a pretty distinctive style.

[[fleet foxes \\ "fleet foxes + sun giant ep" \\ 12"]]
---> compulsive buy, it's to feed my soul. i already have both hard copies on CD but i knew i would end up buying this sooner or later. "blue ridge mountains" is by far the most influential song in my recent musical memory and for time to come, see as the la blogotheque video features instruments i would not have bought otherwise: mandolin, melodica, glockenspiel. i even bought the tom drum / tambourine combo.

***S.I.N.G.L.E.S***

[[two door cinema club \\ "undercover martyn" \\ 7"]]
---> it's one of those super catchy repetitive songs and totally danceable. includes a passion pit remix for the b-sides, which is alright. if you like this song, check out "what you know" from their debut. it's a very solid album

[[newvillager \\ "rich doors" \\ 7"]]
---> love this song, found them by the Nocturnal/Synchronicity Suite. "genghis on" is the b-side, which is decent but "rich doors" shows the exciting colors of potential this duo exemplifies

[[ariel pink's haunted house graffiti \\ "round and round" \\ 7"]]
---> such an interesting song, he's a pretty strange guy. but what an unexpectedly amazingly big chorus. so damn catchy, except i dont understand what he's calling/coming back to. pool? bowl? ball? who cares, it sounds great.

[[kisses \\ "bermuda" \\ 7"]]
---> i play this song every night, its just summery liquid goodness. it's pretty catchy too, "man it hurts me to do it." stuck in my head the past week. can't wait for their LP.

i almost bought the band of horses new album but im glad i didn't, seeing it wasn't as good as i had hoped it to be. arcade fire keeps teasing us and i know for sure i will be buying Expo 86 by wolf parade. i downloaded both free songs on subpop and i am sold, its going to be a damn good album.
