by request of my sister i am going to link my daily music blog addictions, then i will get into the stuff i have been digging lately.

Are You Familiar?
Pretty Pony
Sixeyes
Daughters of Invention
Palms Out
Disco not Disco

the last place that i check is the Hype Machine which is essentially a search engine for music blogs.

after that roundup i should probably actually talk about music.

this week i have really been getting into the rapper Lupe Fiasco, he first popped up on a Kanye track off the last album and totally killed it, completely stole the track away from 'Ye. his record comes out early this summer, but the video for the song "Kick, Push" is already on MTV2 and FUSE (which i totally love right now). not only is he a rapper that skates, but he has an amazing flow and he wears glasses. i am really curious to hear the rest of the album.

the new Islands track "rough gem" sounds almost exactly like the best songs off the first Unicorns album, which in my mind is a good thing.

i heard The Cardigans "love fool" at lipstick for the first time in a long time. i had never really considered it for a dance night before then, but it totally killed the audience there and at Rock It! this past sunday, shout out to Romeo & Juliet!

i am also getting really hooked on the new Phoenix single also thanks to lipstick, as well as the dudes in Brilliant Red Lights.

that's all for now, nothing really new to report on the movie front, been watching a lot of buffy/angel. i am going to start watching empire, which is all about ancient rome, in a bit so i will report on that later.
