anticipating veckatimest
Even though I've listened to that shit quality rip like 8 times, I'm so glad Grizzly Bear decided to go ahead and put out a full-quality preview track from their upcoming album Veckatimest. The fully-mastered "Cheerleader" is absolutely beautiful, and finally displays the amount of time and perfectionism put into Grizzly's recording process.
Check it out over at The Fader.

something on my mind...
Facebook changed again, and, like the last few times, the changes weren't necessarily for the better. It always seems that as bad as I think a Facebook change is, they never fail to followup with an even uglier and more confusing interface update.
Anyway, even though the last few times I've said I was quitting Facebook "forever" to protest the changes, this time, I really do anticipate distancing myself from the it considerably. I've realized that Facebook is trying way too hard to be EVERYTHING you would need on the Internet... a blog, a Twitter page, a Delicious account, a Flickr account, an online gaming site, etc, etc.
Yet, Facebook is none of those things, and thus it inevitably fails at offering a better version of any of those services. Facebook's prime was when it was one site, with one service -- a clean, easy-to-use social networking service that let you find friends and communicate them. By adding all these other bells and whistles, suddenly we're being overwhelmed with everyone and their mom's every move on the Internet. (Quite literally. I mean, even my mom's on FB now...)
So, I'm making it a resolution to move my online presence elsewhere. I'll use this blog for longer posts, my new Tumblr page for shorter ones, and against all expectations, I'm actually going to embrace the Twitter fad and move there for micro-updates. Lucky for you all, it'll all be here on my Blogger page. Oh, and I think I'm going start a Flickr account. I've been complaining about Facebook's shit photo service for long enough, so I figure it's about time to just give up on it.
Here's to a new era of web presence.
Love, peace, and RAWRz,
