The Best Albums I Listened to This Year

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Albums

Mount Eerie - Dawn
El Perro Del Mar - From the Valley to the Stars
Beach House - Devotion
Mount Eerie - Lost Wisdom
Grouper - Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Women - Women
Why? - Alopecia
High Places - High Places*
Wolf Parade - At Mount Zoomer

*Just started listening to it this month but I think that’s as low as it would go on the list, I could see it going higher, maybe before fleet foxes or something but am not sure yet.

I also liked these albums…

Jonathon Richman - Because Her Beauty is Raw & Wild
Herman Dune - Next Year in Zion
Thee Silver Mount Zion - 13 Blues for Thirteen Moons

And does the third vinyl on the Glow Pt. 2 reissue count as a new album?  I really really like that too.

Things I haven’t posted about.

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008
  1. Going to Chicago in early summer with Honeybee and Lindsay to play a show with Colour Revolt and Snowden and staying a few days there with our amazing friend Erin.  It was amazing, we also got to meet and hang out with some of Lindsay’s good friends which was  blast.
  2. Going to L.A. with Lindsay to visit the ridiculously awesome Laura and her other amazing friends.  There were beaches, Pink Berry’s, Family, Ooga Booga, Laura and Lindsay obsessing over a waitress and how cool she is, Lindsay doing a flip in a huge wave and water poring out of her nose a few hours later, and many other fun happenings.
  3. Honeybee and Bear Country getting a residency at the Bemis to work on our albums!  Five to Seven practices a week is killing me but it is worth it!
  4. Hanging out and falling in love with all of the Honeybees!  Such awesome and nice and caring and cool people.
  5. Moving into a beautiful house with Lindsay!  Pictures to come.
  6. Hanging out with K.C. more.  So fun!  Nature drives, grilled cheese at B&G and tons of Mount Eerie listening.
  7. New co-worker!  Matt is suuuuper rad!  I hope he stays for a long time!
  8. New what-cheerio!  When did this happen?  I can’t remember, but hes very good!  I envy his action-script skills.
  9. Turned 24!  This was five days ago.
  10. Last two Mr. 1986 shows ever :(  both were on my top 10 shows of the year list though!
  11. I will maybe add to this list in the future

Thunderstorms, Tornados, & Sigur Ros

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Last night was the Sigur Ros show at the Orpheum. Lindsay and I went after eating at Goldbergs II. It was also the night of the second worst storms of the year. When we got there they weren’t letting people sitedown yet because they wanted to make sure the Tornado warnings would be over before the band played, so we, along with a hundred or so other people, just sat outside in the pouring rain. It was really fun. There were two casualties though, my socks, and Lindsay’s umbrella. The Umbrella broke while Eric, Mary, Lindsay and I were putting our umbrellas together to make a giant umbrella. It was working well for about thirty seconds until the force of a giant gust of wind pushed our umbrella inside out and broke some of the metal pieces. As for my socks, I had to throw them away. I was wearing my toms (http://tomsshoes.com), which was not a great choice for a rainy night, and they got soaked along with my socks. So I threw the socks away. Oh, and the show was freaking amazing!

Here is a photo of some people running into the Orpheum right after they opened up the seating.

Quilt by Honeybee

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

So we put together an album of Mel’s original recordings of our songs.  We did all the design and packaging in less than 4 hours!  I really like how it turned out.  Mel’s recordings are so amazing.  They are $7 dollars and are limited to 100 copies.

Meet & Potatoes at WhatPenguin, Honeybee at Slowdown

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Meet & Potatoes was at SecretPenguin/What-Cheer this month and it was amazing. I met a lot of really nice designers. It was a really really good time.

Ashley, Jeff, Jesse

I had to duck out a little early though to play a show at Slowdown with Honeybee. Our good friends Pomegranates and Capgun Coup played as well, it was a really fun show. Capgun Coup is soooo amazing.

Here is the first page of it. Will Simons did the interview, he’s a great guy, and the amazing Lindsay Trapnell took the photograph!
