Okay. That was just for record-keeping purposes. I would also potentially like to see Ryan Adams (sober) and Bloc Party.

ALSO Matt Nathanson's new CD comes out tomorrow, and it is going to be awwesome. Since it is the end of the summer, probably you are saving your money for like, beer or pot or that new New Pornographers CD or whatever. I mean you might not even like Matt Nathanson. His music is kind of pussy-ish. You might have to possess a vagina, I don't know. Sometimes I think that I only like Matt Nathanson because the shit he says between songs is so funny. But ANYWAY I recommend picking up his new CD.

I have gotten off my Pulitzer winner kick. This is sad but as my mother says I guess I have the rest of my life to complete this task. I read Middlesex which was amazing and now I am sort of very slowly reading The Road. It is phenomenal but incredibly bleak and depressing so it is sort of work to get myself to read it. Anyway I might not finish it, at least for a long time. I am in the mood to read frivolous books. I think tomorrow (when I buy my new Matt Nathanson CD), I will buy the new Jessica Darling book and maybe the new Georgia what's her name book. Well I have to read to see if these books are worth buying first. Also I need to buy A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

I have been rereading the works of Chuck Klosterman, which seem pretty frivolous but expand my mind at the same time, which is my favorite kind of thing to read. They also are easy enough to read that I can listen to pretty much any music that I want, which is also awesome.

Okay that's all.
