[355] in this old house, I'm not alone; in a bedroom, a telephone
PHEW. Four loads of laundry, two loads of dishes, floors and walls and shelves and drawers and miscellaneous other things later, and I'm feeling okay about going back to work in the morning. The week was not a waste, even with how much television I watched! Maybe I should try to finish Willow tonight...
Not sure what time mom's coming home, so today is just for enjoying the peace and quiet for however long it lasts. I limited myself to only a couple hours of sleep, since I've been staying up well past sunup every day this week and it's been absolutely wonderful, but I need to turn that around in a HURRY in order to be ready for work, so I will simply have to be a contentedly sleepy bitch for the time being.
The system our entire dealership (as well as thousands of others across North America) runs on has been taken down by a massive global cyberattack, so combined with the Oilers tripping at the finish line after the comeback of the century, I am expecting some pretty horrid vibes to be in the air, but I'm feeling pretty zen about it at the moment. Civilization may be collapsing around me, but I am prepared to rise above it all. At least for a week or so.
Wikipedia Sez: Veckatimest (/vɛkəˈtɪmɪst/) is the third studio album by the American rock band Grizzly Bear, released on May 26, 2009, by Warp Records. The album is named after Veckatimest Island, a small island in Dukes County, Massachusetts. Produced by bassist and multi-instrumentalist Chris Taylor, the album entered the US Billboard 200 at #8, selling 33,000 copies in its first week of release. By September 2012, the album had sold around 220,000 copies in the US. In 2010, it was awarded a gold certification from the Independent Music Companies Association which indicated sales of at least 100,000 copies throughout Europe.
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Alternative/Indie Rock, Experimental Rock, Indie Rock, Post-Rock
Release Date: May 26th, 2009
Prior Familiarity: None.
What I Did While Listening: Hardcore house cleaning hours. Also sorted out the bathroom shelves while trying out my NEW wax burner that I am NOT gonna shatter into a million pieces.
Verdict: I liked it! But it never really gave me much of a sense of the band's identity, if that makes sense? I went in not knowing who the hell Grizzly Bear are or what they're doing on this list, and I came out feeling much the same way. The bonus live tracks at the end of the deluxe edition had me liking some of these songs more the second time around, so maybe it just needs to grow on me.
Favourite Song: Two Weeks
