it appears that nothing has changed since last year. and, more to that point, life has already started repeating itself. i turned on a music television channel this morning during my exercise routine and i saw two videos that dominated MTVHits in february 2005: j.lo's get right and the killers' mr. brightside. both are good videos, though, and they helped me get back my groove, which i'd lost for a while.
the new strokes album is getting good reviews. it is--correctly--being heralded as a departure from is this it? (and also room on fire) territory. that is, it is good we didn't get another clone of the first two records. but is it really better? after hearing "juicebox", their first single, i thought not. but it has indeed grown on me with repeated listenings. i am also very fond of "razorblade". but the other couple songs i've heard seem bland and almost alt-y. more pelvis and less grey matter.
