Blank-wave Arcade

Distractions abound this week. Last night it was the second to last Buffy episode. Ever. Don’t get me started. I’ve pre-ordered my Animatrix DVD, to arrive early next month. (My pre-ordered copy of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” will be coming along a few weeks after that.) The Onion has a great little infographic to help ready us for Reloaded (which I’ll be seeing at 1:15 tomorrow, and yes, I’m counting down the hours). And there’s an upcoming show that I *need* to go to this Saturday. J mocks my predilection for 80s synth pop sounding music…telling me that the 80s are, in fact, long over. I have no wish to relive the Reagan years (though in some ways it feels like we all are) but my nostalgia for new wave gets me every time. So the lineup of The Faint, Schneider TM, Enon sounds downright dreampoppish to me.
