there's no atmosphere on the moon

yesterday night, after my pathetic little one hour lecture, i went to bondi junction ostensibly to see if borders, which was having a sale, had any of my uni textbooks for cheaper than the crazily jacked-up prices of the charming co-op bookshop. i ended up buying four cds. i truly am unstoppable! so now there are wonderful sounds impressing my eardrums, namely:

free the bees, the bees
i know next to nothing about this band except that they are fab and obscure; they have this excellent retro 60s sound and have funny lyrics including the title of this blog. i shall endeavour to find out more about them i suppose, i'm thinking they're either british or american? there's this one particularly great instrumental song called 'russian' that goes for about six minutes. it's muchly great, with brass and everything.)
the hustle, g-love
since i'm seeing jack johnson, donavon frankenreiter, xavier rudd and g-love next friday at centennial park--speaking of which yay yay yay--i figured i should get me some musical education of the g-love variety since he's the only one i haven't really heard. it's so great! he's funkier and rougher than jack, more eclectic in his sound, more inventive and experimental. at this point i'm liking him more than jack, so i'm doubly excited for next friday!)
moon safari, air
been meaning to buy this one for about a hundred years, and it is certainly not a disappointment. i love that song 'sexy boy'; i think maybe it's on the 10 things soundtrack? anyway, it's awesome atmospheric chill-out mellow study music, and i love it.
soundtrack to the virgin suicides, (also by) air
got this cd for a wicked 10 bucks. another cd that's been pined after for much the same reason as moon safari.


i think i'm going to give up on boys and just take up a love affair with music fulltime. i can't get enough. now if only i had more opportunities to make my own music... ;)


since yesterday was 'youth group eve' (hi lara), today is 'youth group day,' which inspires excitement each friday. it's so much fun being a kid. tonight should prove interesting (as in a bit weird) due to some craziness which has unfolded this week. but nonetheless, it's something to look forward to through work. weirdness at work too: my mates dave and bec have randomly gotten together. i sorta guessed it was happening, though i have no idea how since it virtually came out of nowhere. they better not break up or get heaps cut at each other, because teasing dave is like the only thing that gets me through friday arvos.


today was my first official day of uni, per se, and it was largely uneventful. typed out some notes for english because i was feeling motivated, then got over feeling motivated, then had a quick look for laptops at the shops, then came home. things change really fast. on monday i felt like i had all this 'boy news', as in news in the boy department, but now i don't really have anyone. which is mildly depressing, but also a lot less complicated and emotionally less stressful. so i'm feeling pretty mellow really. nothing's really fazing me at the moment.
