My new favorite band is Autolux. A great mix of MBV/SF59 and even a little Morellas Forest. Check em out. I've also followed all the hype around the Arcade Fire and listened to them awhile back, but didn't like them that much. I keep catching a few of their songs on Sirius radio and it's starting to grow on me. I really have nothing else to report today, I just wanted an excuse to post this great picture.

I’ve been trying to get to the blog, but the week has been flying by. I have a project due tomorrow at work and plenty to do.
Monday night I went up to see the Lassie Foundation again by myself. Tracey wasn’t feeling up to it. I met MaCann and a friend of his. LF played two songs from their California EP that made me very happy. In other concert news we have scored some highly sought after tickets for a few shows. First off, coming up next weekend we finally get to see Pinback. They are playing a really cool old theater and we have really close seats. The show sold out in a day and tics are now twice the price on ebay. In two weekends we’re going to LA for the weekend and going to see Mates of State in Hollywood. And the big score was getting U2 tickets for Anaheim on April 2. We tried all weekend to get tickets and struck out. I stood in line; Tracey tried online and on the phone and got nothing. When I came to work on Monday a co-worker of mine was also trying to get tickets and was very successful. She said they had two extra tickets if we wanted them, and I said yes of course. We can’t believe our luck. Here is my top ten movies of last year (ommisions-I have not seen Ray, Hotel Rowanda, etc. and other oscar contenders that may or may not be on this list)
1 Aviator
2 Life Aquatic
3 Kill Bill 2
4 Spartan
5 Napoleon Dynamite
6 Garden State
7 Eternal Sunshine
8 Collateral
9 Bourne Supremacy
10 Sideways
