patagonia sale survivor

Day 46 of Frozen Tundra Official Year Two.

The Patagonia Sale.

If there is anything more scary than a chimpanzee family loose from the zoo, its a Patagonia seasonal sale. I managed to escape with all of my arms and fingers intact. Actually, it wasn't as bad as the last one I went to. I love that store, secretly, I mean, if any of my friends found out I would be cast out immediately, its like a great sin or something. But, its my guilty granola crunching guilty pleasure. Wearing Patagonia clothes immediately puts you into some weird Montana sub-culture, along with the organic vegetarian psychopaths...hmm...that sounds familiar...?

Anyway, I bought about $70 of stuff, which meant me dragging to the car a huge Patagonia "shopping bag" which actually looks more like some sort of leaf storage bag, but you can imagine my struggle, I'm sure. Okay, I'm not all that crazy, not all of the stuff was for me...I bought some of my friends back home some hemp pants, all that good stuff. Neccessary for "rugged" living as they say...as I sit in the technical lab at the university in my super warm and fuzzy Patagonia hoodie...I'm beginning to think I'm a shopoholic?

So, my Sondre Lerche album finally came in, and what a relief that is. The guy at the record store handed me my order and was like, "ooh he's really cute isn't he?", see, I'm not the only one who thinks so! But his music is good and he's Norweigien...which makes all the more difference if you're and indie artist, it seriously does. And as the more shopoholic I become, I ordered the Incredible String Band collection and some Fairport Convention albums. Very exciting. I'm sure.

So, my radio show is starting up again tonight, those of you in Dillon, the station is 90.9. @ 10pm. I'm going to play some Sondre Lerche, Figurine, Janis Joplin...and there's going to be a nutty folk artist in there around 10:30pm.  I'll also be on at 9pm tommorow night. Well, time to get back to my presentation I'm supposed to be working on...

Have a good night everyone, stay away from Patagonia...and listen to my radio show!!!

musique chaud

  • Animal Collective -

    Animal Collective: Sung Tongs
    The album Sung Tongs is such an artistic endeavor in indie music. Their music is something you would expect from someone who smoked something funny while making love in a zoo at Christmas. Pure fun and kitties. (*****)

  • Jarvis Cocker -

    Jarvis Cocker: Jarvis
    Oh, its finally here. Undying joy. This album is marvellous, I just cannot get enough of that man's voice... (****)

  • Joy Division -

    Joy Division: Permanent Joy Division 1995
    As I clearly state in my blog. I LOVE JOY DIVISION. Clear and simple. This album in particular captures the haunting sounds of an emotionally condemned man in ways I could never imagine. (*****)

  • Original Soundtrack -

    Original Soundtrack: Shortbus
    I can say this goes on my list of best soundtracks of the past however many years. All the songs flow along in the album and they take you back to the points in the movie, which is rare in a lot of soundtracks. (*****)

  • Blonde Redhead: Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons
    Possibly my favorite album this month. Its a lot like what Thievery Corporation did with their Lebanese Blonde EP but less cultural and more cafe-esque/reggae. Gorgeous album. (****)
  • Hella -

    Hella: Hold Your Horse Is
    Obscurity. Guitar Solos. What could be better? (***)

  • Robot Ate Me -

    Robot Ate Me: Carousel Waltz
    This reminds me of going to a boardwalk on the ocean with all the funfairs. Truly a west coast hipster band. It's a lot like the band Of Montreal...almost mistakeable for them. (****)

  • The Microphones -

    The Microphones: Mount Eerie
    This is such a surreal/beautiful album which made my amazon.com wishlist. It makes me think of Night of the Living Dead mixed with sounds of the ocean. Gorgeous. (****)

  • The Crystal Skulls -

    The Crystal Skulls: Blocked Numbers
    I just bought this from Amazon.com, to ease the pain of waiting for the post i keep listening to samples from iTunes. I love it. (*****)

  • The Rapture -

    The Rapture: Pieces of the People We Love
    Since when could Indie kids dance? (***)
