wandering through the internet archive wayback machine, i find a few cached copies of our defunct mp3blog, monkeysars.net. reading through the few old pages, i realize how much stuff i actually missed: the pressures of trying to come up with songs to share with people and things to say about them at times didn’t even allow me to appreciate the other songs about which my fellow monkeysaurians(?) were waxing eloquent. for example, i note that dave was pushing the go! team like a year before i noticed them. and phil was hawking project runway all the way back at the beginning of season one!
alas, not that i really have any more time now, but i still do wish i could throw the occasional song up just so you can see what’s buzzing around in my head. for example, recently it’s been lilly allen. she played popscene here last week, but i got there too late (visiting people with babies again—sign #26 that you’re getting old) and missed her show, being stuck outside in line instead. she seems to be a bubblegum pop version of MIA or maybe lady sovereign, and the songs are nothing if not really fun and catchy. her album’s not out domestically yet, but i’m sure you could find a torrent or something.
again, i’m not hosting songs anymore, but you really should immediately go to her myspace page and play “alfie”. it’s inanely wonderful.
Lily Allen is going to be performing at the Live 105 not so silent night after party on dec 8th at Mighty, yo.
I need to figure out how to get an RSS feed on LJ to read you n stuff.
