    So I have something to admit.  I should come clean.  It’s all too common for me to become so enamored with a band, musician, musical act, sparkly thing, whatever. I will repeatedly listen to nothing but one album for hours, days, sometimes I will even suffer months of addiction.  I’m not horribly ashamed to admit it I suppose, I just generally keep it to myself.  I spend a lot of time listening to music, I know I’m not nearly as knowledgeable about musical composition and production as Brent and I don’t have the encyclopedic knowledge of all things music like Kevin but I am an avid consumer.

    Why did I waste your time right there? Well because I have what, I can guarantee is a new obsession. Yesterday Yeasayer’s new album Odd Blood hit stores and despite no previous knowledge of the band (ignorance I know) I have it. I’m not an album reviewer, I don’t have the background or skill set required but I do think I have a fairly good track record and ear for music to know when something will be or should much bigger than it was previously. I don’t pretend to obsess over the obscure, I’m not a pretend “Innovator” but I try to be an early adopter or at least in the early majority. (Yes we’re talking Everett Rogers here)

    Now before I catch any shit from my fellow writers or potential readers for sounding cocky, listen, watch, enjoy.

    So now I’m hoping you feel the same way I do, or at least think, “Hey that wasn’t bad.” Well next what you need to do is find O.N.E, Love Me Girl, and Rome. And by find I mean buy the album.
