One of my favorite ever internet finds is a musician who calls himself Birdie Hilltop. I first heard it on Said the Gramaphone a few years ago and ordered the two cds available from Frigital Records soon after. They came as a handmade, glued and spray painted package, the best kind of limited edition. For six months or more the album Surround The Birthday was in my cd alarm clock. It’s one of my favorite albums now, it sounds like waking up. Birdie Hilltop is currently working on a project with Chauchat and has recently posted all his music online for free, so now you can wake up to it too.

A new Ratatat album comes out July 8th called LP3, I guess because it’s their third proper instrumental album, not including the two hip-hop remix albums, the second of which you can still download for free here: Ratatat presents Remixes Vol. II

24 May 2008 - 12:55Nintendo Friend Codes

Here are my friend codes, should anyone want to play online. I guess I’ll just post the Wii codes for now, because the DS only supports WEP encryption and my router is set to WPA, and I don’t feel like downgrading and then reconfiguring all my devices. It would be nice if my stupid router could just support both at the same time. Anyway, I’ll update this as I collect numbers.

Wii Number : 0404 5466 4066 2214
Super Smash Bros. Brawl : 4597 0406 7105
Guitar Hero III : 511216882437
Mario Strikers Charged : 004402 372814
