it's kind of friday.

Does anyone else still think of albums of having sides? I still notice that side A and side B are often distinct in flavor on a lot of albums.

The weather is cold and grey and overcast and basically perfect, perfect, perfect Thanksgiving weather. Especially if you wear trench coats made of mohair. (Or llama hair.)

Ok, so Taj Mahal. I knew nothing except that he was a blues legend, and I have this thing where I like the blues a lot. I mean, a lot. Like, ok, I'm from Louisiana, ok? Big black men singing about not getting any lovin (or gettin' some) is hott. vileinfestation used to make me mix tapes, and I'd play them when I was gettin' on. It was all good.

So yeah I really enjoyed the show last night. Although it was reminiscent of going to that show in Chicago Blue, in that yes, it was great and awesome, but every single person in the audience was white. Well, what can you do, right?

I attempted to beat my allergies today by taking a sudafed 12-hr and an allevert. So far so good, except i'm slightly tweaked and thirsty. But my sneezing has come to a complete halt.

i own a lot of vinyl so i still think about sides. not in the same way though, since there's usually only 2-3 songs per side.

Kosheen's Resist is pretty distinct in this manner. Side A is all jungle-y and side B is more downtempo.

that whole side thing is one of the reasons I don't like making mix cds but enjoy making mix tapes. with a tape you have a fixed amount of time on each side to get the mood across...with a CD i always tend to make the whole thing thematic (or schizophrenically different from song to song).
