I cleaned the room!

Now listening to the Cassandra gemini by Mars Volta.
Great CD (Frances the Mute) get it!

Here's how it looks like....


I cleaned my room. Yes, believe it or not it's quite an acomplishment. Hopefully, there will be more co-operation to keep it that way.

I want to go see the Fantastic 4 movie today. Hopefull I can. I hope it's good, because right now the best superhero movie is Batman Begins. Man, that is one great movie.

I woke up freakishly late today. At 9 AM! Now fore me that's really late because I usually wake up at 6:45 to go running. Uneventful day so far, I finally got to listen to all of Frances the Mute while I cleaned up but that's it.

Later.

I got an iPod Shuffle a week ago. I must say, I really love the little thing. Who cares if it has no display? A gig of flash music in my pocket? Thank you very much.

I bet you're wondering why didn't you get a mini you freak!? Well it's because I dont want to deal with harddrives. See, I'm a runner. Any device with movig parts will eventually wear down real quick because of the impact of running. Ha!

I really want a mac now. Wait let me rephrase that. I need one to get familiar with the Mac OS X enviroment.

One thing I know though is that iTunes sucks.

Man, I hate it! The interface is terrible! That's why I use...

Now it is a known fact that Winamp is the best software to use to play and organize mp3s. Well everone knows Apple makes the best mp3 players. Right? Guess what brings them together?

ml_ipod?

Right!

Windows users with iPods, you practically need this add on. I mean just try it out and see!

What about podcasts?

Well, just use both then!

Speak to Me/Breathe...


Listening in my head - Fat Old Sun by Pink Floyd.

Always with the Floyd, Erick! Always!

Forget all it. I dont care if anyone reads my blog or not. I need to vent.

Man, Dark Side of the Moon (DSOTM) is pretty much the greatest album ever made. I really have yet to encounter something like it (besides more floyd) I mean look, or should I say listen, to it.

I should say, something can be beautiful, artistic and a commercial success. Heck, this baby has been constantly on the charts for pretty much as long as it's been out. When it came out in 1973 it was sooo far ahead of it's time.

There are parts of this album where I'm just outstanded. From the begining:
1. Speak to me
A Slow steady heartbeat. The sound rises and rises, sounds accumulate each bit a small tase of what is to come, it rises and rises and...
2. Breathe
Fantastic song. Excellent. The sliding guitar sound seems to tap some brain frequency where it just sounds so good.
3. On the Run
Amazing, amazing song. Just get a good pair of headphones, close your eyes and try not to get goosebumps.
4. Time
Killer song. Fantastic guitar solos. Uplifting choir vocals and a beautifull reprise of Breathe.
5. The Great Gig in the Sky
When I head first this song it almost got me to tears. Not kidding!
6. Money
Similar to Time. Different but just as good.

I'm getting tired of typing so let me just say the rest of the album is genius, genius, genius. There's no way I can write about how good it is just see for yourself!
