Expectations exceeded by Tom's extremely exciting exhortations

Call me out on my laziness, will you? Fool! You know not with what degree of no-life-having you are messing with! Your feeble mind cannot conceive of the directionless energy I possess, energy which your misguided accusations have forced to be let loose upon the general populace, like so much molasses on Boston. ONLY MUCH MORE DELICIOUS THAT IS RIGHT MY THOUGHTS ARE MORE DELICIOUS THAN SWEET SWEET DEADLY MOLASSES.

So I couldn't be bothered to write up another page of hyperbolic praise towards a single band and I didn't want to write up a whole album review, and I sure as shit didn't want to just post an album for download with very little accompanying writing (no offense Jon just not my thing, I like to be verbose and dickish and write a lot of irrelevant bullshit that goes on and on with no real payoff that just ends up alienating the reader which makes them less likely to actually listen to the provided music but oh well what can I do. Like, for example, right here. This parenthetical comment is longer than the non-parenthetical part of the paragraph. What the hell, Tom? And why do I continue to do it? One can never know these things but I think it might have something to do with my predilection for writing in stream-of-consciousness mode with no editing afterwards. This is ending now, I swear). So I decided to do something else.

That's right! A themed playlist! As the title of this post suggests, the theme is "Ex"! I think you will understand upon seeing the tracklist

  1. Ex-Girl Collection - The Wrens
  2. Ex Lion Tamer - Wire
  3. Ex-Supermodel - Guided by Voices
  4. Exhuming McCarthy - R.E.M.
  5. Explain it to Me - Liz Phair
  6. Experiment in Terror - Fantomas
  7. Ex-Spectator - Fugazi
  8. Excursions- A Tribe Called Quest
  9. Ex Girl to Next Girl - Gang Starr
  10. Express Yourself - N.W.A.
  11. Exploitation of Mistakes - GZA
  12. Let's Panic Later - The Ex (I think you'll forgive Ex not being in the title)

I think it's pretty cool! Get it here.

TUMBLEWEEDSS

Because 1) the remainder of CakeBot are M.I.A. and 2) I'm feeling like a generous bastard right now.


Here's the new Growing, which was released early September. It's called "All the Way". It's in the same vein as their previous record, so if you're familiar with it then you know what to expect. For the uninitiated: trippy-ass guitar drones get reprocessed to the point of being unrecognizable through a boatload of filters and effects. Think of it as an intergalactic underwater disco. Get it here.

Next off, "Since I Left You" by the Avalanches. This needs no introduction - get it here. Your collection is bearing a gaping hole in its soul if you don't have this gem by now.

And lastly, this is probably the best basketball-related music video I have seen in a long time. Don't watch this video if you've got a low download quota, which I doubt, but anyway...


I'm off for a coffee now.
