an introvert an excavator

Wow, what's up, June? Once again, my grasp of the concept of time and how it passes is tenuous at best. I keep telling myself that I will definitely write up a post about seeing The Used, and then I'll definitely write something about Mac Lethal, and then most definitely Atmosphere, and then I look up and said show was two days ago and I'm seeing someone else already and the images of whomever last performed in front of me are already fading. It turns out that making the time to write about music is a whole lot harder when I have a fully functional arm and therefore have no excuse to avoid my busy life.

And this, this isn't even a substantive post, but I figure it's better than nothing. I haven't been listening to much new stuff lately, but I am loving The Game's new single, Game's Pain. It's drenched in shout-outs and fond nostalgia, and it hits the same heartclench-y chord that made Hate It Or Love It so addictive. It's giving me a reason to listen to the radio, because U92 is predictably already overplaying it, and I get a big sappy grin every time it comes on.

Between L.A.X. in July, N.E.R.D.'s new album next week, and Santogold's Santogold already putting a spring in my step, it promises to be a good summer.
