the new record is going to be their first record in five years. aversion.com reported that they were working on a new album, called "the civil war", last summer. then again, that was supposed to come out on halloween. so much for that.

Whatever happened to the Dillinger Four? Isn't it about fucking time for a new album? I love that band.

They're putting out a new album this year, tentatively titled 'C I V I L W A R'. I  think it comes out in May, I'm not sure though. Yeah, I love that band too, I'm so excited about the record.

EDIT: My bad, it's due March.

[On Reflection]

7. Planes Mistaken for Stars – The Time It Took         
12. ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead – Will You Smile Again for Me
13. Old Canes – Early Morning Hymns    
20. Snowden – Black Eyes

Excellent stuff, that Snowden album was high among my favourites of last year.

Yeah, I think that album was really overlooked by a lot of people. They are one of my favorite up and coming bands, I'm really excited about what they'll do on future releases. And 'Anti-Anti' (the song) will get firmly stuck into your brain for days, it's catchy as hell.

So we had a music video showing the other day at school and one of my classmates was complaining that it was totally depressing. Admittedly there were some Modest Mouse videos stuck in there, but he was all "the kids are all nihilists" and I was all "Dude, this coming from Mr.I-don't-listen-to-music-because-I'm-40-and-too-old-to-enjoy-life? Bitch please." So I decided to make him a mix CD of non-depressing or at least positive in a socially critical way music. Not one of my absolute best, but still noteworthy:

The Kids Are Alright - The Who
Alarm Call - Bjork
Multiply - Jamie Lidell
When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Karazzee - !!!
Forecast Fascist Future - Of Montreal
Race for the Prize - The Flaming Lips
My Doorbell - The White Stripes
Pack Up Your Sorrows - Mimi & Richard Farina
Homesick - Kings of Convenience
Somebody Loves You - Eels
Ya Playin' Yaself (Acapella) - Jeru The Damaja
F.H.H. - RJD2 w/Jakki
Why Hip Hop Sucks in '96 - DJ Shadow
Pushin' On - Quantic Soul Orchestra feat. Alice Russell
Night on Fire - VHS or Beta
Shine a Light - Apples in Stereo
Always Love - Nada Surf
What A Wonderful World - Joey Ramone

I dunno, seems to me that once you hit 30, all of a sudden you get all self-absorbed and stop paying attention to shit. Doesn't bode well for me.

speaking from the other side of 30, that DEFINITELY depends on the person.
