New Music First Listen Rundowns

Downloaded the new Prince album - 3121 yesterday. Kate from work was telling me that she read that it was supposed to be some outstanding piece of work comparible to his earlier works of genius. On listening I like it, there are 3 songs after first listens that I really, really like, 1 song that you need to download. My favourite 3 songs from 3121 are "Black Sweat", "Fury" and "Lolita", other songs are also good but these are the ones that stood out to me. Fury is the song you should download now, its great. Im not the hugest fan of "Funk" and a lot of princes grooves and moods but this song whilst it does have a funk sound to it I like for some reason. The synths are great and once again Prince melds synths, lead guitars, and a great beat (groove). So yep get this song.

Also got the Vines new album "Vision Valley" last night, its pretty good, most songs are fairly mellow which i am not a huge fan off as it does nothing for me. But there are a few songs that stand out as good on this one, these being "Don't listen to the radio", "gross out", "fuck yeh" and some others I cant remember the name of.

I feel so blank today, my head is empty and I need to get out and do something. I stayed home last night and watched trailer park boys episodes then fell asleep and then this morning have just been doing nothing pretty much, it sucks. When alone doing nothing I always feel like Im wasting time, should be doing something productive.. I don't get that thing where people can be alone and just relax and like renew their energy from the quiet. I get agitated. This is not to say I don't think, I think stacks but all my thinking is always inspired by something. Being alone = no inspiration. Was thinking of driving into the city and walking around and getting inspired by things in magazines or going to the city library and picking up a book on some random topic and learning a bit about it.
Anything, just getting outta the house pretty much.
