Home for Thanksgiving was good, delicious food like always and Amy came down with me so it was nice. Took her back to Berkeley and went back to San Jose to chill. Got enough stuff done, and now I’m about to leave for class.
My current laptop died a couple of weeks ago and I just got the official word from my uncle that it really is dead. Apparently, using my laptop on top of my bed was a bad, bad idea. The motherboard overheated, apparently from lack of ventilation (i.e. leaving it on bedsheets all the time). I didn’t think it was that bad, but oh well. My dad is loaning me his MUCH better laptop for the time being, thanks thanks dad. This should hold me over until Christmas time.
New CD’s I bought:
- Kanye West – 808s & Heartbreak / Pretty good after a couple of listens. However, some of the songs sound like each other after a while and if you don’t like the vocoder do not listen.
- San Quinn – From A Boy To A Man / WARNING UNNECESSARILY LONG STORY: I went into Rasputins to buy music during the E-40 release event for his Ball Street Journal. To be honest, I’m not a big E-40 fan. It might be all these Bay Area blogs that hate on the later “Bay Ambassador” E-40 compared to his old “Captain Save-A-Ho” self, but I never really liked ANY of his stuff. ”Tell Me When To Go” was hot of course and I have “Ghetto Report Card,” but eh, nothing too special. Back to Rasputins, I felt bad not buying ANY Bay Area artist. By then, I had in my hands the last Lupe CD, Kanye’s latest, and this other non-Cali group Foreign Exchange. I’ve liked San Quinn a lot no matter what he puts out, so I thought what the hell, I’ll give this a try. It’s not so bad so far but I’ve only listened to 6 out of 19 tracks.
- Foreign Exchange – Leave It All Behind / I should have bought their last album, “Connected,” so I made up for it by buying this. Haven’t listened to it yet, but should be good.
- Lupe Fiasco – The Cool / Haven’t listened to the actual CD yet, but I mean I loved all of his singles that ever received airplay so the CD is bound to be great.
Ok, off to Bekeley. Audios.
