Groan. I'm turning 32 today. I guess that's not so bad. Here are some of the small things I'm feeling thankful for today:

1) I'm moving! In like 10 days. And best of all, no more roommates! This will be my fourth move in the last three years (and my record collection just keeps getting bigger and heavier) but I'm really psyched to move into my own place. I signed the lease and got the keys today.
2) New Portishead album!
3) Buffalo Tom in NYC on July 14th. Ms. Smith and I might be in town for that. I haven't seen them since like 1996 or so.
4) The Luna documentary is released today.
5) Fishscale. I listen to this album like 14 times a day. So far in '06 Ghostface and Goldfrapp are neck and neck for album of the year as far as I'm concerned. If you don't have this record then you are missing out.
6) The World Cup! Obvs.

And without turning into to a big cornball, I'm thankful for everyone stopping by here and reading what I have to say. I went over the 400,000 visitor mark a week or so ago and that, to me, is just mind boggling. When I started this slice of the interweb, I didn't think anyone other than me would read it. Ha!

Also, do I lose all of my cool points if I say the new Keane single isn't half bad? You can go here and download it.

And of course:
