Transference by Spoon
After Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga in 2007, my hopes weren't too high for a new Spoon record. I picked Transference up anyway and after a few listens, I'm pleasantly surprised. It's a bit slow to get into, definitely not instantly catchy like Gimme Fiction or Kill the Moonlight.
About Me
Robert Svihla"Eurotransient" is the name I gave myself in the spring of 2001. I was about to graduate from university and I booked a three month trip to Europe, into Madrid and home from Paris. Earlier that semester, a professor of mine called me a "transient being." While the specifics of why are lost to me, when the time came to set up a web-based email address I could access with ease from abroad, I simply stuck to the idea and went with "eurotransient." It seemed fitting, as I simply had an entry and exit point, but no itinerary to fill the time in between.
As it turns out, I am addicted to signing up for new websites. Chances are, if you have a website, I have an account. The worst part is that I kind of love them all, which makes it difficult to settle for one site over another.
Take this Posterous account, for example. After three years of using the lovely Wordpress, I decided to settle my eurotransient.com domain here. But I'm also autoposting all of this over to a Tumblr edition of Nonsense.
But wait, I have two more Tumblr's: Snaps, which is my photoblog, and A Little Nonsense, which is just for quick links and the like.
Confused yet? Yeah, me too. In any case, since you're here, feel free to read a bit and comment. Besides new websites, I'm into great games, beautiful photography and delicious cooking. I wasted my college years studying film and I know a thing or two about that, too. There's also the travel thing I mentioned earlier.
