dreams and thoughts

1) for the first time last night, I had a dream where i was flying. I simply made myself look liek a crucifix, and I was off, floating and flying around something that was remeniscent of Daly City. My friend emma was with me too, flying. While i was flying, I thought to myself that this must be real life and that people had always lied, saying that humans couldn't fly. I knew that there was no chance this was a dream. It was euphoric to say the least.

2) whiel i wa slockign up my biek this morning, I overheard people in a construction site talkign about football. who defense was better, who sucked, who was going to pull through in the end. and it hit me that, it was just like us talkign about musicians. or people talkign opera. or people talkign science. and that truly, no one is 'better' than the otehr. more intelligent. they just are different obsessions people have and like to talk about. sure you may need a degree to discuss multivariabel calculus, but in teh end, teh act of discussing somethign that is a hobby, or an enfactuation seems ratehr similar to me.

Merriweather Post Pavillion- 2nd Listen

ok, this is pretty tight, i'm pretty down. i'm still a bit dissapointed about the slowness of the record, even though i forgot to mention it before, its ok. i still kind of feel liek this album is on valiuum for the most part, way too much, its sitting behind a wall of production , and might be better rawer, but i think i'll change my opinion again. just what i'm more used to and what I go to them for.

Merriweather Post Pavillion- 1st Listen

ok, so i already basically have heard all of these songs, but their live recarnations, with different beats, lyrics, and effects. so i feel at first very uncomfortable in this house. its familiar, but different, like the same house but new colors, new furniture, somewhat.

what i'm struggling with most, are the effects on the vocals. i love noah's voice so much as just that with maybe some echo. but thus whole weird effect thing is just like... whjat!!!! for me anyways. i'll get used to it, its just not what i liek about him now.

its a bit offsetting. but i know that this is just because this is a change for me. so i'm goign to continue listening and i know my opinions will mold. but its like oil and water for the most part now.

and the production! oh my goodness. Unlike and other album! they do it again, they did it again! every album a different production quality. i'm really not fond of this processed electronic version (so far).




dismal first reaction, granted, but i'm just being stubborn, I think. lets go for asecond listen.


and oh my god teh bass beats!!!!! wtf!!!! man!!! so heavy hard!!
