I wanna study history, but there’s no future in it.

Where do we go from here? - Grimus - Egretta

Where do we go from here? - Grimus - Egretta

Well, this was long overdue. This album feels like it was in the making ever since Panikon was released, back in ’08, when I first heard Fingerprints. If you don’t know Grimus, they’re one of the hottest Romanian bands, and one of the only that sounds modern enough

cartoons

fun fact – cartoons you enjoyed 8+ years ago are never as good as you remember them.(except South Park & Simpsons – those are always funny)

You are not so smart - book coming out.

Doing this for a contest [https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=222513231140645&id=126977487335917] , because the blog [http://youarenotsosmart.com] is awesome and because I can relate to the video. So, yeah. **Update – **I won the contest! I’ll write about the book when I get it.

> This song [Here Comes the Sun] was originally proposed by Carl Sagan to be part of the Voyager Golden Record sent to space in 1977. While the Beatles agreed with this, Sagan was unable to form a definite agreement with Apple Records prior to the spacecraft’s launch date.

Post-Nothing

Listening to Japandroids‘ first album, Post-Nothing, is the musical equivalent of an Apatow movie: 2 best-friends hanging out, planning the shit that’s about to go down tonight, reminiscing about that girl that made one of them swear off dating forever, complaining about the scene in their hometown, rocking out

Somewhere along the line, brewing another pot of coffee at 5am became normal.

arms and sleepers

arms/sleepers

Coding to arms and sleepers is pretty damn good. Expect a more detailed post about good (imho) coding/focusing music.

Sleeping patterns

According to the above comic, I’ve traveled round the globe twice in the last week, if I’m not mistaken. For some time now, I’ve had no societal restraints on when I should wake up or go to sleep. School’s out, and the closest thing to my

Best ideas

The best ideas always seem to come in the kitchen.

Sea Change

I cannot, for the life of me, understand how Beck managed to power through writing and singing the songs on his Sea Change album. I swear that album kills me just by listening to it. The power that these simple, understated songs carry is devastating, they’re proof that this

Writing is effin hard.

What the title says. There’s nothing as intellectually humbling (for me,at least) as trying to put an idea, which is crystal clear in my head, in words for all to see. It’s when I usually realize I don’t really know what I’m talking about. I

KOKOMO & Our Ceasing Voice, April 18th, Cluj, or, Post-rock and some pitfalls

This post started as an attempt to poke at post-rock, but I just can’t do it too convincingly. I like the genre and my arguments are rather slim. Here it goes, though. I’ve been waiting for this concert for quite a while now, in part due to the

Code, my summer is yours.

Well, it seems that I was accepted as a Google Summer of Code Student on the WordPress project. That means that I know what I’ll mostly be doing this summer, which is coding, hacking, testing and thinking. Basically, what I’ll be doing is making sure that if your

Humble Frozen Bundle Review (first impressions, actually)

For those of you unacquainted with the Humble Indie Bundle, [http://wwwhumblebundle.com]it is an initiative to offer DRM-free, cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac), games from indie game studios. And it lets you pay what you want for a limited time for the games. You can also choose to give

Late to the party.

Blogging is said to be dying, so I’m here to save it. (This post would probably make more sense if it were more than 140 chars.)
