Apologies.


I'm moving into a new apartment.

It's stressful, unpleasant and time consuming, and I can't wait for it to be over.
Yesterday, I was packing and realized that I was singing 'Unbreak my Heart' by Toni Braxton. Loudly. Why??? I have no idea. Maybe the idea of leaving my tiny basement apartment is subconsciously causing me grief?

It then dawned on me that my poor choice of song was probably due to the fact that I was marinating in copious amounts of nail polish remover (I had to clean up a neon pink 'My Chihuahua Bites' spill from my bathroom floor).

At this point, I decided that it was time to take a break from packing and get back to the blogging I had been neglecting, for I was surely driving myself insane with all this cheesy R&B.

So here's a little bit of what I've been listening to lately:

UNKLE - This British crew have been around for a while, and they caught my ear with their song Lawless. Their latest albums are Restless (2008) and Remix Stories Vol. 1 (2008). Check out their MySpace for a sweet collaboration with Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme.

Bound Stems - This band's latest LP, The Family Afloat, is an amazingly uplifting listen - highly recommended it for those gloomy nights of undesired nail polish remover buzz.
PS - One thing I don't recommend doing while hopped up on acetone fumes? Watching UNKLE's Rabbit in your Headlights video...

You're right... too right. But I'm not really that into UNKLE - not really my kind of thing...
