Wixel - Clouds

This is a very calm and soothing album. You may not want listen to it while you're driving or working out or cleaning or anything active. Its a very "lay down in your bed" album.

M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas, and Lost ghosts

This a very good "thinking" album.

Prince Vince:

Go buy this record.

And when it rains, put it on.

Put it on and think.

The thing the rain did to the river,

I just want to be a part of the flood.

I know nobody likes rain, but without it I wouldn't have been bored enough to upload this:

The 6ths - Wasp's Nests

Stephin Merritt writes the ballads and just about every mid-ninties indie rock notable lends their voice to one song or another. It plays very much like an early Magnetic Fields record, so if you enjoyed "Get Lost", you owe it to yourself to give this a listen.

Also, Brian's post gives me an excuse to plug my favorite Nickelodeon show of all time: 

I am starting...

I saw this lying around my friends dorm. It looked real interesting to me so I asked if he wanted it. He didn't, so I took it. After doing a little research, I've decided to read it. Persepolis is a graphic novel about a girl growing up during the Islamic revolution in Iran. It is a memoir of the author who was a child of Marxists and a great-granddaughter of the last emperor of Iran. I will keep you updated on how it is. Looks cool though.

The Magnetic Fields - Get lost

I've been listening to this one a lot lately. It's very good to listen to while driving or doing homework. My homework was filling out job applications! "Why I Cry" has been played a lot so far in my room and in my car. This whole album is very awesome. I never listened to Magnetic Fields a lot before, but now I've been listening a lot and I like it a lot.

BLAM!

Hi, my name is Brian Lam and I will also start contributing to this blog. I am from Virginia Beach and also attend VCU with Brooks. I've known Dustin and Brooks for 12 years. We actually started a blog together in the third grade. I think it was called "Tetherballerz."

Enter Dustin.

Hey everybody. My name's Dustin Huber, and I'll be contributing to this here blog. Today I started a project called "Every Step is Moving Us Up" designed to encourage people to turn their dreams into realities and to encourage and enable others to do the same. The groundwork for that project can be found on this blog: www.perfectinanemptyroom.blogspot.com

The project is really important to me and is something I plan on seeing through 'til the end. If you're interested in helping out, just check out the blog or send me an email.

On this blog, I'll keep you updated on things I'm doing, new things I like such as music, movies, books, poetry, etc.

Soon I'll stop talking about what I'm going to write about and I'll just write it.
