(belated) weekender

tape’s latest album, luminarium, has been one of my favorites for the past two weeks and definitely my favorite of the artists work since his collaboration with tenniscoats on last year’s excellent tan-tan therapy.

doru, the blogger behind the cookshop—one of my absolute favorites—has announced that he’ll be winding down on the music. he will be missed. for those who never knew the blog, it’d be worth your while to read the backlogs.

as an austinite, i was quite excited to see that 2008’s austin city limits lineup has been announced, but pretty disappointed in the heavy content of mainstream, washed-up, and/or flavor-of-the-week artists.

a new article up online from adbusters is worth a quick read. hits a little close to home after squandering my tax refund on an ipod touch (which is totally worth it, btw)
