Feeling Lonely

Slow day today. Came in at one o’clock, per my office hours, and found I had three missed phone calls all from the same number. Called the guy back and spoke about a couple CDs they had out to me. Fielded two more phone calls over the course of the day. I spent some time today going through the stacks and stacks of music that had been passed on or hadn’t got reviewed in years gone by and found a lot of gold, so I have to do something about that sooner or later.

CDs reviewed: Smashing Pumpkins’ new single “Tarantula.” It’s not bad, but samey. Wooden Wand’s James & The Quiet. A Band of Bees’ Octopus: Going to Album Preview this one. My review: “Pro: sounds just like the Beatles. Con: Sounds like the Beatles circa Let It Be.” Tim Armstrong’s A Poets Life (sic): What the. The former Rancid frontman has gone and done a reggae album. I don’t know what’s happened here. Decent, though the lyrics are sometimes wanting.

Number of CDs received today: six. Number of CDs to review before Monday: seventeen.

I’m not sure yet what I’ll do on my show tomorrow night. Maybe just a potpourri of songs. One thematic idea that had come to mind was music introduced to me by other people, which might be fun.
