ready for the house

tomorrow we head to salt lake for the mount eerie show, it's just the thing to kick off my favorite month. i'm hoping phil's going to have some of those boring fog movies with him, thats about the only thing of his available that i don't have and i really want it.

i just finished getting everything all situated on my new laptop computer, made the recovery disks, transferred all my personal files including all those mp3s i've been downloading, customized all my settings, backed up everything, and even bought a lap desk because my legs always hurt if i sit with a laptop on my lap for too long. so yeah i dig the new os, vista is pretty nice.

i'll also mention i ordered another record, one by a guy i've never heard before, jandek. supposedly he influenced a number of lo fi artists, like the mountain goats and smog, so i think i'm going to like him. the record is called ready for the house, a repressing of his first record, it was made in like '79 or something. the guy has way too many albums and all of them except the one i ordered are no longer available on vinyl. there is a website that has all the known info on jandek called guide to jandek, theres not much known about him he's a pretty mysterious guy.
