Today we celebrated the day my brother came out of my mom's uterus. Twenty-one years and some odd hours ago today, he was birthed. Today was a slightly mild occasion, but joyous all the same. You know what he asked for? Besides rims, a George Foreman mini-grill.
No, I'm serious.
I haven't recommended any songs lately, have I? Well... today, in my head, was "Combat Baby," by Metric, "Mount Wroclai," by Beirut, and "This Heart's on Fire," by Wolf Parade.
And I would like to recommend an artist actually.
Xihilisk is the name of his, er... band? Well, it's not so much a band as it is "One man and his noiseroom," according to the "man" whose name is apparently Lloyd. I'm not even going to begin to try and describe his music to you. But he also creates really crazy animations using the stop-motion technique.
So go listen to/watch all that he has to offer.
Oh, and he has a wombat. And if that's not incentive enough to check it out, I don't know what is.
P.S. I have a flamingo lamp if anyone's interested...

i just saw your account from Brian's Blog and i just would like to say that Metric is one of the best bands ever. Beirut is also one i really enjoy, but i don't have any of their CDs.
Hey Afton!
Yes, Metric is super intense... and Beirut is my faaaaavorite. I <3 them.
