THE HITS

 February 19, 2007

Youtubage off the port bow, cap’n!

Pop Levi - Sugar Assault Me Now
These guys have the moves and they’ll be at Coachella! Other that I don’t know much about Pop Levi.

Klaxons - Golden Skans
I have only vaguely been aware of Klaxons but I think I need to start paying more attantion.

LCD Soundsystem - North American Scum
Space battle! I may like the new album Sound of Silver even more than the first self-titled album. Needs more listens to be sure. Bonus performance on Letterman.

Fujiya and Miyagi - Jaguar Commercial
An actual Jaguar commercial since I couldn’t find any music videos.

Snowden - Like Bullets
Not my favorite track off their album Anti-Anti (”Counterfeit Rules”) but still pretty good

That’s all for this time. Keep reaching for the stars!

Orange grove

I haven’t been up to much since graduation, certainly not getting my write on bloggy-style. Mostly filling out job applications online and playing World of Warcraft, and occasionally dinking around with some programming. I got to experience a wide variety of processes, from the big company that flies me out and pays for everything after seeing my resume to the local small company that seems almost comatose in the speed they respond to calls and e-mails.

Not something I’d do recreationally, so when I got an offer from Philips for their medical systems group in Irvine, California, I decided to go for it. Sticking around Portland would have been nice but I’ve had my fill of sitting around. Thus did I find myself watching nearly all my worldly possessions get loaded onto a big truck yesterday, now making the journey south. I will be boarding a plane tomorrow and getting there ahead of my stuff and will be looking for a place to hold all of it.

So yeah! Awesome.
