It’s Blitz! It’s Blitz! It’s Blitz! It’s on repeat!

Good god, again, I’m sorry for the lack of updates. I wish one of my classes was devoted to “blog updating”, because so much has been going on in the world of music lately, I just need to sit down and get it all out on here. Firstly, though, I have to devote a little space to the most wonderful birthday present I received (because it directly ties into the naming of this blog) from my incredible friend (and TAALK member) Alley Lind-Kenny, a painting by “Jo”, whose work was being displayed in one of Montreal’s wonderful cafes; Le Cagibi a while back, and I became instantly attached to it due to the presence of little Native American boys! (I apologize for the crooked, and bad quality picture, as I don’t own a digital camera and it is quite difficult to balance a laptop in only one hand while maneuvering the mouse over to the ‘capture’ bottom on photo booth)(also, as soon as I purchase the proper hooks this is taking over Bob Dylan’s spot above my bed)

In music news, my first listen of It’s Blitz, was not a great one. I put it on intending to give it a thorough listen, and to be honest, i kind of forgot about what exactly it was that I was intending to do, and the end of the album came without me even realizing it. My immediate thought was: another un-entertaining/boring new release. Shitty. BUT THEN. BUT THEN. a few days later I gave it another chance! and THANK GOD i did because, I must have been in some sort of COMA the day I listened to it, KAREN O HAS BLOWN ME AWAY. I absolutely love it. I do. And again, as much as I may not like to see myself as a ‘mellow music person’ or an ‘acoustic blogger’, as much as I think my music taste is more spontaneous than that, in all honesty, it’s not. This can be proven by the fact that my favourite song of off Show Your Bones is the “Let Me Know” DEMO which isn’t even technically on the album, and now, its the ‘acoustic’ versions off It’s Blitz that have been played on repeat. And I’m sure the majority of the population has already listened to the album, but if not, here are my favourites:

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Soft Shock (acoustic)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Skeletons (acoustic)
