So, I’ve been attempting to (with muchhelp) put a widgetlikething on the top-right corner of this page that will tell you my most-played albums of the past week. Using last.fm, of course (my username is blacknix).

Well, as you can see, that doesn’t quite work yet. However. I do have:

1. A nifty new color scheme.

2. A nifty Nietzsche quote.

3. Nifty poetry (look in the Pages section on your right).

4. A sudden, though nifty, habit of using the word “nifty” an excessively excessive amount.

Also, while Ulrich Schnauss is not a new artist for me, this album of his is:

If you can’t read the yellow text, the title is Far Away Trains Passing By. Be forewarned, it’s quiet and repetitive, but it’s ver’ calming, in a Múm – Finally We Are No One sort of way. Except moreso.

Perhaps a more interesting (newlypurchased) album is this:

Philip Glass’ A Descent Into the Maelstrom is modeled after Edgar Allan Poe’s short story of the same name. And it’s, well, horrifyingly beautiful.

Hm. Anyway. I’ll say something, twitter/post/otherwise, when the last.fm thing works. Chicago in two days! Ahhhh!
