Sorry I didn’t send anything out yesterday.  Got stuck at our data center working on our search server all day.  Fun right?  So, I had this dinner party at my house last night, and while I was cooking I realized I had to buy some of that Morningstar veggie meat stuff that comes in a bag (crumbles?).  I usually order it from freshdirect (you guys know how lazy I am, if I can get that shit delivered I will), but I needed it like that day so I had to find a grocery store in my area that sold it.  My neighborhood doesn’t have any stores you would recognize unless you lived in Kensington (Silver Rod, Food Town, Red Farm, Globo [something in polish] Market, ok you get the picture).  So I ended up grabbing my skateboard and heading down McDonald Ave.  I eventually found a ShopRite which was like 3 subway stops down on the F from me.  I was on cloud 9.  Its like a REAL grocery store.  They actually sell name brand products.  There’s more than 2 registers.  The cashiers actually spoke english.  I have a new found love for my neighborhood.  Maybe love’s not the right word, maybe its tolerance.

This is straight from last.fm (links and all) cuz I’m lazy today.

Of Montreal were among the second wave of groups to emerge from the Elephant Six Collective. The group is typical of many Elephant Six bands due to its interests in combining musical experimentation and the basic tenets of pop (ie. catchy melodies and sing along choruses). Created by Kevin Barnes after a failed romance with a woman from Montreal, the band’s style has been influenced by not only more conventional indie pop and neo-psychedelia, but, on their earlier releases, vaudeville and music hall, before moving on to a style that was far more influenced by electronica on their most recent albums. Based in Athens, Georgia, USA.
