I always feel the need to speed up the tracks on leftasrain. Maybe it's because it often gets played at house parties or get-togethers, but that's not the mood i'm most often find myself in, or the music that I most often enjoy. I'm tend to be drawn to more sentimental music. Those dance jams don't have this kind of depth. And I don't want to feel upbeat and good all the time. Sad music makes me feel good actually. Bad good.

Steve's Theme, eh? Steve must be a pretty chill guy. Alex Bleeker, Regale me with more tales about your Steve. In all seriousness band names are just getting too long, I dont care if you name your band Crystal Bears - it's easy for me to say in passing. When someone asks me what I'm listening to and I have to respond with "Oh this ol' thing? Just Alex Bleeker and the Freaks" I feel disappointed in myself.

Solid track from a solid band. I always know what to expect when I listen to a Small Black song and for whatever reason - that's very comforting to me. Which is the exact opposite feeling of not having any A/C in your 9th floor apartment, because that's currently what I'm experiencing and.. its too hot to write a joke about it.

I'm back. It's not easy returning to a balmy 100 degree Brooklyn and an apartment with broken A/C after a week at the beach. We must go back (in my best Jack from Lost impersonation). I've always had trouble with impersonations, no matter what language or origin I'm trying to imitate I pretty much 90% of the time sound like a drunk American person pretending to be a drunk British person.

When the internet gives you lemons, you throw those lemons back in it's face and say fuck your nasty ass lemons, I'll use my own tastier lemons. So here is a track from Phantom Planet's 2003 album The Guest... and yes that's Jason Schwartzman on drums. But get over it, they are amazing besides that fact that Jason is amazing. So I'll be behind the wheel over here at Left As Rain Headquarters for the next week. So buckle up.
