Sisters! Brothers! Small Boats Of Fire Are Falling From The Sky!

I haven't posted anything but album reviews for a while, which I'm trying to get in the habit of doing more often (I'll be posting my review of Massive Attack's Heligoland soon), but right now I feel like some sort of interlude is necessary.

I've been messing with the website a lot lately. "Experimenting", I guess. A few weekends ago, I managed to edit the post layout to make it more "blog-like" (note: more compressed posts), which is quite an accomplishment for me, since I know shit about html. Yeah. A "nice job, mang" would be appreciated.

I also learned how to upload music files, which is pretty cool, because I've been doing all sort of piano and guitar covers lately that I'd like to upload. Here is a piano cover of Sigur Rós' "Fljótavík" I recorded today using my mum's skype headset (classy, I know). I also recorded and mixed a cover of The xx's "VCR". The quality of the recording itself was not so hot so I won't post it, but it's the knowledge of the recording process that counts. So yeah, expect lots of Sigur Rós covers coming up in the future.

In other news, I'm stroked for the upcoming Portugal. the Man album, American Ghetto, which comes out on March 2nd. Also, Circa Survive finally released news on their forthcoming album, Blue Sky Noise. I'm not at all impressed by "Get Out", the first single... and the fact that they're touring with Coheed & Cambria is disappointing, but I still have very high expectations for the album. (But even if it does end up sucking, the artwork is still amazing).

Oh, and guess who I'm seeing April 10th? Jónsi (: I'm also seeing Suzanne Vega next week and A Sunny Day in Glasgow in early March. And if you by any chance know how it's possible to age 6 years in 2 months, please let me know, because I want to see Caspian this April too.
