I Have No Idea

I got really excited today when I discovered most of Timbaland's new album on The Hype Machine... my excitement was slightly deflated, however, when I realized the release date had been pushed up to tomorrow and I wasn't as "cutting edge" as I thought I was. Anyways, if you're bored and want to take a listen before you torrent it tomorrow, here's the link:

Bright Eyes (is/are? damn Conor Oberst) coming out with a new album either tomorrow or next week. (I'm pretty sure it's tomorrow). They pretty much defined the whole "emo" movement, whether they will admit to it or not. I heard a song from the album on KCSU this morning and didn't even make the connection that it was them (I'm going with a plural "them" instead of "him"), their style has changed so much. Actually, I was trying to do some background searches to try and find some songs from the album and stumbled across their 4 or 5 song country EP. I was suprised to discover it, and upon listening to it I was kind of into it. Oberst dropped his wavery singing voice in lieu of a stronger, twangy style. I also downloaded a remix of "Easy, Lucky, Free" that was done by Her Space Holiday. Woo.

I'm desperately waiting for Heroes to start back up again (damn you, hiatuses...hiati?) and the one thing that is helping me through my 3-hour class on Monday nights is the new season of The Bachelor. I know, I know, it sounds ridiculous, but the canned romance and drama really gets me. Actually, it's kind of cool because my roomates and I all get together and watch it each week. The guy is kind of a meathead (read: too many muscles) but that face... he could roundhouse kick me in the head and I'd offer to ice his foot.
"With his credentials, how can this 30-year-old prize still be on the market? Maybe because at heart he’s a run-of-the-mill nerd. Despite some impressive action photos in the opening montage, Baldwin looks frail on camera. He mumbles and says “gosh” and “holy moley” a lot."
Hah, love it.

If you haven't gotten a chance to watch Planet Earth on the Discovery Channel, you're missing out. If you've got On Demand, you can watch it -- I just wish I had a high def TV. I watched a few episodes this weekend, which annoyed the crap out of Caroline, which was almost as sweet as actually watching the show.

I can't figure out anything else to write about, so I'm going to go work. Whee!
