In which Alex talks about some stuff
Here's some stuff:
- I went into Record Theater on Monday for the first time ever. From the first glance around, I see why I've been keeping my distance. My mouth started to water at the huge selection and low prices of used CDs. Why have I never gone there? Because I'm moderately poor and this place is trying to take my money. And I am quite eager to give them money that I don't have. I resisted the urge to buy the new Stephen Malkmus record, Dan Mangan's Oh Fortune, and everything else in the store. Instead, I bought Mutations by Beck for $7 and a VHS copy of Life of Brian for 99 cents. I am patting myself on the back.

| Sun Kil Moon's Benji |
- I heard a new song by Sun Kil Moon, one of my very favorite bands, on Pitchfork yesterday in their Best New Tracks section. I had no idea a new Sun Kil Moon record was coming out this year, but I find that pretty exciting, despite the strange saxophone solo in this song, "Ben's my Friend" (Ben being Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service and you probably knew that).
- I'm gonna try out Grizzly Bear, even though I've never really cared for them, and report back on it. Apparently they're worth the effort, so I'm going for it.
