Wouldn’t it be great if I had some deep reflection about this? Alas, as there was no logic, there will be no analysis.

(But, let me just say: that some of the American bands in the list were from the US surprised me. I thought they’d be more, I don’t know, Greenlandic or something.)

i am here putting off writing papers. school makes me want to die all the time.

i have started to go through my music by letter. the other day i went through the P's. It is kinda weird to be faced with some of the great music i own. yet no matter how often something causes a "wtf" i never delete it.

so the Ps - i have around 8 gigs of P-Artists and here are some of the honorable mentions with random, perhaps irrelevant comments attached.

PAS/CAL... they did a christmas 12" split with Asobi Seksu. they remind me of Belle and Sebastian or even a less whiney The Decemberists

Pat Benatar... i don't feel i need to elaborate

Pit Er Pat... a unique sound. fresh vocals. from Chicago

Peaches... nothing new here. sometimes i can love it and sometimes it feels a bit annoying

Phoenix... sometimes when i am getting music written down on month old lists i have no clue. so i was surprised and not overly impressed - but the album will get a couple more chances before i pass my final judgment.

Poe... Angry Johnny. i never saw a point in anything beyond that.

Pop Chocolat... nice girly pop rock trio. can't imagine who they could remind me of. >チャットモンチー<

The Presidents of the United States of America... loved the first album when it came out, catchy as hell. at this point i usually just listen to Lump.

Primus... i love Primus because i love Les Claypool.

Portishead... a long time favorite. Beth Gibbons still has one of the best voices.

some dishonorable mentions:

Port Of Notes... dunno what i thought this was gonna be but what it is ended up being was disappointing.

P.O.D.... i can't help myself i have to always sing along to Alive

Papa Roach... i remember really liking their new sell-out sound and always singing Scars in the shower and in the car and stuff, but it has been awhile and it just didn't seem as great as i remembered.

Pushover... why? i have never listened to the cd. i have a signed copy *gag*. whatever.

i am a bad music parent. full of neglect. i need methods to reintroducing artists into my memory bank.

P, Partial Lobotomy

We're going to my roommate Ruthie's cabin until Tuesday, and Judson and I have made a pact to create a mix each for the drive up.

Oh, honey, we're ridiculous.*
1. Step Into My Office, Baby
2. Staring at the Sun
3. Bitches Ain't Shit
4. Hey Teacher
5. I Turn My Camera On
6. When You Sleep
7. I Was Born (A Unicorn)
8. Steak for Chicken
9. Jesus, etc.
10. Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down
11. Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, Pt. 1
12. Bone Machine
13. Video Game Heart
14. Same Old Drag
15. I'm In Love (With Arthur Dove)
16. Tell Balgeary, Balgury Is Dead
17. Ex-girl Collection
18. She's a Rejector
19. Huddle Formation
20. Cherry Chapstick

I'm considering also making a slightly more chill mix, as this one's rather poppy.

*Yes, there is a PAS/CAL release by the same name. I thought it was an appropriate title.
