Short List

so this is my first blog post in over 3 years… since my high school band went defunct and i gave up on the blogging scene. so i figure i’ll start slow and ease my way back into things.

i updated the short list on mindset’s homepage today, but due to a few technical problems cannot upload the update… so here are some cds that seem to be generating some buzz lately at wvfi and in the college music realm:

Air – Pocket Symphony
Apples in Stereo – New Magnetic Wonder
Arcade Fire – Neon Bible
Deerhoof – Friend Opportunity
Of Montreal – Hissing Fauna…

i think ‘hissing fauna’ even charted at number one this week (if my sources are correct), which is a testament how addictive that cd can be.

so yeah, that’s the update that is hopefully going to be available to the internet at large very soon.

1000 HITS!!!

Congrats guys, this blog has really taken off thanks to our ranting, raving, and reviewing. As Statcounter webstress, I thought I’d do a little post commemorating all our visits!

Our blog has been read by people in the Algeria, Australia, China, Canada, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Germany, Mexico, Sweden, and the UK.

Not to mention all the hits we get from turning up on search engine results. Here are just a few of the searches we’ve turned up on:

“giant golden radio song on att comercial”
“‘guys are crazy’ disco party pictures sample”
“the song on the red lobster commercials”
“arctic monkeys ipod ad song” (did they do one?)
“lily allen wearing gun necklace” (we were the #3 hit on this search. #1 was Miss ModernAge and #2 was my same review on NowPublic.com)

Great first month, all!
