Today's Crap: Bazhork Walk, RIP Zen, Grizzly Bear R00LZ, and High-Seas Icon Adventure

Well, my Creative Zen finally died, after a year of use. Thursday morning, while getting ready for my 5 AM run (see the new 'About Me' section; I know you haven't read it yet), I was all set to run to the fantastically pompous synthpop of FM Belfast when pfft, pop, patoop. That was the end. Goodnight, sweet prince. You will be missed. Thankfully, however, I had bought a CD player on Wednesday at the Salvation Army---because, you know, retro is innnn. Well, not that CD players are retro. But you watch. I'll be ahead of all the trends.

Then, last night, I went for a short walk with my new CD buddy, eagerly moving along to Bjork's "Enjoy." What's humorous is that, while walking beneath some street lamps, I felt like I was coming back from a Portishead Fan-Club Meeting circa 1995. CD player + Post + neo-film-noir = A five-Lickitung night.

And as if I didn't look cool enough already, toting around a Koss CD player with Post spinning around inside, I ordered some BoC and Grizzly Bear t-shirts last week. Still waiting for them to come in---both were out of stock---but I assure you, I will be the coolest Squid in town. Maybe. I mean, all the kids in my part of New England all wear Hollister and that shit. So at least I'm in the running for Koolest Indie Kid!

Finally, I've changed the icons on the site to something a bit more summery---pirates! And speaking of pirates, here's an unofficial Bjork remix for ya.
