Ha ha, two days in a row. Who would have thought? Welcome back to another exciting day in the congo. Well I must admit that today is not all that exciting. I mean it still is Tuesday. However I do have big plans this evening of beating Zelda after work and starting the new game I just procured: "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City", this should be good stuff. After that I will most likely spend a low key evening with Brie.
Now on to bigger and more exciting things, the band, or in this case artist, of the day! Today I have chosen Beth Orton. One of her latest CDs, "Daybreaker" is in constant rotation with me. Her other albums like "Central Reservation" and "Trailer Park" are also quite good. I hope you all are enjoying the album pictures I have been posting to decorate, as you can tell, they are ripped right off of good ole Amazon. Which coincidentally I am told has more anacondas than the Congo does, who would have thought, certainly not me...
Back to Beth for a second, she has thoughtful and intelligent lyrics and interesting collaborations (ala Ryan Adams... If you into cocky alt county, which I kinda am...). I think y'all will enjoy her. Until tomorrow keep those horizons expanding...~bs!
