relationship of command

I have been totally thrashing this album for the last few days, in-between mainlining Southern Lord and in the spirit of blog-or-crawl-up-and-snivel, I’m blogging it. Did I miss At the Drive-In the first time around? It seems kinda improbable, because I was living with at least one person whose idea of a dirty weekend was coming home with pre-releases of Sub Pop, and seemed to always know the next cool band months before anyone else, pulling vinyl Mudhoney out of a brown paper bag … oh selective memory …

But now, Relationship of Command is just a phenomenal album, I’ve played it at least four times today, and I’m fucking screaming. I love it when music does that to me, it sometimes seems like that’s the thing you do when you’re fifteen and then, I dunno, get mature or something, and lose the whole, “So what are you listening to?” record collection friendships. How did I miss this band? Anyway if you see me walking around, grab one of my headphones (of my amazing dropped-from-1.5-meters-bouncing-iPod which I fixed the then busted scroll wheel by dropping it the opposite way) and scream along. I hope music never stops doing this to me.

yeah … i know

I go away from the internet for two days, and what happens? The world goes mental. Apple’s (no longer Apple Computer inc) iPhone is – besides its not so mega-mega sub-10 gig hard drive – one of the two most profound consumer technology inventions of this decade. The other is the iPod.

That it’s also running OSX, and the apps are full-size iApps, a totally touchscreen interface, AirPort … all the stuff I’ve wanted in a single thing for ages. By the time I can afford it, the drive will be big enough to store all my mp3s, and it’ll be 3G.
