Feel Good Lost

i was out wandering yesterday, well i was honestly looking for a knife but that's another story. and so bed bath & beyond is next to best buy so i stumbled in there. i'm not the 'downloading' type of girl...sometimes, but very rarely, (& i always pay)...i go through i-tunes. anyways, i usually buy my cd's off amazon but sometimes (and again rarely cuz amazon is cheap) i go to my local record store or the big BOYS-Best Buy or Target...NEVER FYE or WALMART-no no no! i'm not THAT bad. so i haven't walked around a 'music' place in a while. i had nothing inparticular i was looking for...just browsing.

so i noticed the store was set up a bit different. now all the music DVD's are above the cd's. don't really like that, want them to be all together...not in alphabetical order with the cd's below. then i noticed something shocking-Best Buy carries RECORDS now. yes, vinyl! crazy, yeahhhh! and i love me some vinyl every now & then. they didn't have too much of a selection though. hm, some Queen, Misfits, Pink Floyd, REM, etc...& they were decently priced strangely. so then i started to think of things i could look for. i thought of She Wants Revenge (it's from 2007 but i still don't have it) and another Broken Social Scene CD. and i still continued to browse just in case i was missing anything.

i opted for Broken Social Scene since i've been listening to 'em a lot lately. they are classified as soundscape mainly. meaning: more about the instruments, not a lot of singing...basically background music. and i've been listening to Feel Good Lost (2001) for a while now...since i got it on Xmas. that is one great CD! the music is awesome...i don't think there's any singing...if so it's really low & limited. so the one they had there, You Forgot It In People (2003), was what i got. and i was kinda disappointed. :( only because there was lots of singing and the instruments were a little more louder-music is more intense (if that's possible???)...not so much background music anymore. and when i say background i mean i would be writing/doing something relaxing...or trying to fall asleep (and i have fallen asleep while listening to Feel Good Lost too!). maybe i'll get into it more over time, i mean i only got it yesterday.

so as i said, it's soundscape and to give titles to the songs is kinda weird cuz most the times, there's no singing, just lovely sounds & noises. so i get a kick out of simple things...or hm, simple things amuse me....and so i like the names of their songs cuz...they amuse me. examples of some include: "i slept with bonhomme at the cbc," "love and mathematics," "stomach song," anthems for a seventeen year old girl," "late night bedroom rock for the missionaries," "lover's spit," and how about "i'm still your fag." yeah, these things amuse me...and you'd understand if you heard the music...they don't really need any titles. so it's kinda amusing they came up with these funny titles. (yes, eve is amused easily!)

so i recommend Feel Good Lost. and the other is good, don't get me wrong. but after only 2 years, their sound changed quite a bit. oh & they're canadian. and there's like a million members in the group. i think the MAIN guy has his own stuff now....so i don't know if BSS is even together anymore. hm, i gotta check to see what else they have out...pretty sure they got some other stuff.~
