i was just listening to a 24-hour long rendition of beethoven's ninth symphony. that was long! for my first addition to the world of mp3 blogging, i'm gonna post something fairly atypical, for me: an instrumental. the oranges band are a nice little rock combo with spoon connections, and they had an album back in 2003 called all around that i liked more than whatever spoon album was out at the time. this is the final track, a long instrumental that manages to be droney and surfy at the same time. the first minute and a half is simply a keyboard riff that always reminds me of "auld lang syne." then, as a nice, "nagging" guitar riff and drums slowly fade in, the song finally blossoms into something that was probably in the soundtrack to a lost pete and pete episode. it's a trifle, sure, but it's so dang pleasant.

Oh, right, this is an MP3 blog. I keep forgetting. I'm certainly not going to post any Pearl Jam MP3s, but I do have a few things up my sleeve.
Did you get that from my profile? Or is it getting big enough to be disseminated without my help?
Here's some good live video of The Oranges Band to check out.
