posting again

Every once in a while I see something or do something that makes me wish I was writing on my blog more frequently. I can't even remember now what those thing were. For example, I was talking with people about my thoughts on the double album. I think that in most cases, this is a case of a band's ego getting the better of their judgment. Case in point, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Stadium Arcadium. It has a number of good songs, but I think it's bloated at 28 songs - they could have exercised a little discipline and produced one excellent album. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a fan, we're going to see them in October at the Garden. Still - the album has a bunch of filler.

I did get two new CDs today, Till the Sun Turns Black by Ray Lamontagne and Broken Social Scene's eponymous album. I'll have to post back once I give them a listen.

I'm still getting the hang of this whole "linking" thing w/r to blogging. I'm also not sure what I am going to consider appropriate souce material for blogging. I sis previously post some family stuff, but I might consider that off limits going forward. We'll see.
