muxtape

Posted by bryanz on Mon Apr 21 2008 18:51 (Link)
here's my muxtape. http://b2thez.muxtape.com/
listen to it with headphones or on your home stereo. every time you listen to music on laptop speakers an angel loses its wings.

sons and daughters - gilt complex
the kinks - this time tomorrow
electrelane - oh sombra
ratatat - gettysburg
the black keys - my mind is ramblin'
flogging molly - drunken lullabies acoustic
jungle book - bare necessities
simon and garfunkel - el condor pasa
rilo kiley - silver lining
ryan shaw (covering wilson pickett)- i found a love
the fratellis - chelsea dagger

it starts out strong, then cools off, flirts with depression, then pulls back up to reach happiness, and finally leaves a good upbeat taste in your mouth. mmm, upbeat.

here are katie's, mike's, and tyler's.

city of compton

Posted by bryanz on Thu Apr 17 2008 07:47 (Link)
i was told last night by someone originally from the east coast that i'm much more manly than other guys he's met from california, who he said are typically a bit effeminate. he said i must have been raised in compton. i don't know what he was talking about, i just likes to keep it real.

throw away society

Posted by bryanz on Tue Apr 15 2008 21:20 (Link)
tying audio media and gear in to the throw away society mentality.

i like the post where the guy talks about how his 98 year old grandma still uses appliances built in the first half of the 20th century. that's back when they knew how to build things. that reminds me of my appreciation for simple, well-engineered, quality things. yes, i know it kind of makes me sound like a snob, but i hate wasting money on things that will break or be outdated after a year. and yes, i know myself being a techie makes that a bit hypocritical.

canadian observations

Posted by bryanz on Tue Apr 01 2008 10:22 (Link)
walking down the street everything seems pretty similar to the US, but just different enough to make you feel like you're not in kansas anymore.
curling and hockey are the only sports on tv, especially when said tv is in a restaurant or bar.
canadians are far too polite and happy. it worries me.
