looks like a slight lift in the market this morning. can we get some exuberance back please? a little year end rally? c'mon party people, fuck high energy and bogus LEIs, let's get out of this range, daddy's got a mortgage to pay! special thanks to GOLDMAN for the critique of TXN which sent it on a downward spiral yesterday.
i'm trying to load all of my cds into i-tunes and i feel like i'm going to be editing my library for the next 6 months. i've got about 500 discs and i pretty much go on a cd spree every tuesday when the new releases come out. i know, i know, i'm living in the stone ages by purchasing CD's and the entire music industry business model is archaic and evil, but i still have a religious method to buying music: buy the cd, go home, put it on, read the liner notes, pay attention to the arrangements, and judge. maybe this is the result of being a musician who was raised by a musician. i analyze what i think the artist was going for, search for influences, and try to relate to the songwriter's experiences. buying an album on i-tunes simply does not give me the same buzz. i think you lose a level of intimacy with a song when you don't look at the context of it. as a songwriter, i would want people to hear the whole collection since my themes tend to bleed together...maybe that's just me but that's how a player's got to be.
currently spinning: fiona apple, my morning jacket, franz ferdinand, ryan adams & the cold roses, fisherspooner
