Thanks to the variety of sites that have been providing me with a surfeit of albums to download, my brain is getting thrown in about six different musical directions today. I find myself bouncing between Adam and the Ants' Dirk Wears White Sox, the new Vale Seinfeld-themed mixtape, The Divine Comedy's masterful album Casanova (especially the wry and cheeky song "In And Out of Paris and London", the first album by Blind Pilot (who had me gawking blissfully at the PDX Pop Now fest this year), and some nutty late '60s pop by The Groop. Sure, I can make some connections between the albums, but I'm preferring to turn off my critical mind and let the array of sounds and ideas send my sleep-deprived mind reeling.

Oh...and I haven't forgotten about my notes for day 2 of the PDX Pop fest...I just couldn't find my notebook until this morning. I'll get those up tonight.
