Biggest Surprises Thus Far:
Hearing "Black Mirror" on the radio.

Getting A Little Tired Of:
Amy Winehouse - (Why is she so popular? Is it because she looks like a goth-punk chick but happens to front a soul band? I don't care if the Dap Kings are her backing band. Why not just listen to Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings then?)
Waiting For a New Radiohead Album: (Though it should be noted that the last time they made us wait four years...wait a tic, they've never made us wait four years before. This one better be good, guys.)
Summer Festivals - Yes, I'm going to one, and really want to go to another, but what ever happened to playing clubs and theaters? I know, these festivals are usually a lot of fun, and who doesn't like getting heat stroke while spending a weekend on various drug cocktails? I guess I'm just old fashioned and pine for the days when rockin' out all sweaty like to bands in un-air conditioned venues was the norm.
Summer Summer Summer Time (Albums I'm Looking Forward To, That Is):
Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
