kanye leaked →
get it while you can, giving it a first listen now. links are down, buy the album Nov. 24th.
my initial review:
the kanye album is like a great sketch. the concept, production, melodies and art direction are amazing. The concept of minimalism is apparent through out all and is very impressive. If only he brought in a real song-writer and some more real singers, this album would have been genius....
Watchlooks pretty dope. thx c.

overheard in san francisco...
“West coast people have ruined my standards” (in the most socal valley girl voice you can imagine)
shopping for CDs?
I went to Amoeba (a big music store in Cali) and I felt weird, like I was in an alternate reality. I really feel like the medium of CDs is dead but even the smallest groups still print up CDs. I just felt like I was in a different world today, waiting in line and looking thru the racks, I know it was my reality not to long ago, but it still felt awkward. I wonder what it is like for kids who grew...
