I halve a problem.

I have a problem. When it comes to self-control, I have very little restraint. Ever since the last semester ended I've been desperately craving some new music but there just hasn't been much released lately that has really grabbed my attention. Amazon.com is the perfect website for someone in my current position who is also not in the position to be able to just walk to the nearest record shop and peruse the shelves, seeing as I'm still currently stuck at my folks place in the High Arctic (Iqaluit, Nunavut Territory). As a result of this, I order off Amazon.ca constantly. Even while I'm still waiting on orders I placed in early May, tonight I made yet another set of orders that should (hopefully) serve my appetitte for the next month and a half.

I'm checking my watch, x'ing my calendar, and grinding my teeth for the following:


Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - The Doldrums
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - House Arrest
Arsis - A Celebration of Guilt
Battles - Ep B
Battles - Ep C
Battles - Tras/Fantasy
Danielson - Ships
Don Caballero - World Class Listening Problem
Mr. Show: The Complete Third Season (2 Discs)
Necrophagist - Onset of Putrefaction
Venetian Snares - Cavalcade of Glee and Dadaist Happy Hardcore Pom Poms (2xCD)
Wizardzz - Hidden City of Taurmond


Yeah...I think I've got a serious problem. I also just found out that The Daughters are releasing their sophomore album, Hell Songs in August, and Ratatat is following up their self-titled debut with Classics on August 15th. Christ on a compact disc!
Review of The Books new record Lost and Safe forthcoming. In the meantime, while I wait, you can wait with Ariel for Kate.
