 <div>Yeah, maybe I write about new music too much instead of more about my current life, but <em>whatever</em>. I was a little apprehensive about listening to this album because there are definitely more hip-hop vibes to the songs (not all, just a few) that seem to be going away from Beck&#39;s usual style. Something that&#39;s not bad because all artists should experiment and change it up and all that (unless you&#39;re The Killers and mangle up your sound abhoringly). Anyway, I must say that I&#39;m falling in love with this album; I&#39;ve had it on repeat for most of the day. I like the hip-hopish style of the some of the songs because they work well, and otherwise the songs really appeal to my ear. I don&#39;t know much about music, so I can&#39;t quite comment on the logistics or use &#39;technical terms&#39; to describe this album. In the end, it&#39;s made me feel <em>damn </em>good. Ha.<br /><br />Also, if you purchase the album through the iTunes&#39; store you get the videos that go along with the songs as well, and those are fun fun fun to watch. <br /><br />School and life are fine. I&#39;m reading <em>The Dharma Bums</em> by Jack Kerouac right now (I can&#39;t remember if I&#39;ve mentioned this yet) and really enjoying the read. And today I&#39;ve been rather proactive with studying Spanish and writing my story. Only four-hundred more words! Mmm going to a party tonight, but have nothing to do until then, so I may take a nap. <br /></div>   <p style="clear:both;">
