Two weeks into the Album A Day project and tonight is the first time where penning an entry feels like a homework assignment...

I press on.

The Red Cover and Green CD - is VERSES...  A remix of The white album above "Quiet is the new Loud". — The Red Cover and Green CD - is VERSES... A remix of The white album above "Quiet is the new Loud".

Selected an album I haven't listened to in almost 15 years. I fucking love this record. It's a weird album in that it's actually a Remix Album of an album called "Quiet is the New Loud"...

In many ways its kinda like the Postal Service album that people don't seem to discuss or remember any more. Well, maybe that isn't a good comparison... they didn't remix a Death Cab album. You catch my drift tho'.

Anyhoo - the entire album is worth a listen, but here's a few that really - really - stand out.

Artist: Kings of Convenience
Album: Verses
Producer: Four Tet
Label: Astralwerks
Recorded: ?

When I reached into my messenger bag this morning, I quickly realized that I forgot to pick out a Bikini Kill album to listen to during the day... I did a quick search on Spotify and couldn't find any of their albums to stream so I started to type in random bands that I haven't listened to in a while...

So I have 2 ticket stubs to the show and can't remember who I went with... weird.

I listened to the Afghan Whigs for a little bit and then out of now-where, something compelled me to look up the Doves.

I had a lot of busy work to knock out when I got into the office so it was nice to stream the Lost Souls album and be productive.

It's been a while since I've listened to this record from beginning to end... it brought back a lot of great memories from having caught them on the 4th of July in 2001. The Strokes were scheduled to open for them, but they got stopped at the Canadian border so the Doves played with no opener. (The Strokes eventually showed up and played the basement to only a few people in attendance.)

They had a projector that cast various video over the band and the entire stage... I recall them screening video of a space shuttle breaking off part of its thrusters into space or the ocean. I don't know why, but it seemed pretty fitting.
