How the Hoverkraft-werks.

Well, March 32nd is over (chalk that one up to Canterbury Tales, where in the Nun's Priest's tale of two fools, Chanticleer and the fox, took place on March 32nd), but not without some of the best Antics since this.

Of course, I began the day by hearkening back to my Rufus Wainwright fandom years with his self-titled album (1998) containing one of his finest tunes: "April Fools". Sure, I would've unwrapped Neutral Milk Hotel's On Avery Island vinyl to spin some "Avery Island/April 1st", but I didn't get to it, okay? I did, however, listen to the track by itself on Hype City Soundtrack.

I have some concerts I've attended lately to report on, but until that develops, it should be reported that I reported false information to gullible Radio-friends. Not to mention that I sent an ill-formed text informing some that "My water just broke. Eep." Most couldn't comprehend that I was on my way to St. E's for being a sleaze (Saint Elizabeth's Hospital, that is), and to deliver my baby. Alas, Mr. Mom, this is not.

I fared better with these texts:

"No way... have you been to greenplastic? There's a new Radiohead album expected in spring 2010... I saw the link from another blog. P4K should be on it soon."

"Thom says some new songs were inspired by a book about overpopulation in third world countries, and they collaborated with Liars on a track for a primal sound."

Dan's Reply: Yeah. Thom said something about a collab and new material in a recent interview with Billboard, I believe. First I've heard of a date or album news though."

"Now there's a tentative album title: Exit Strategy. It's a chapter title from the novel. Could this be the best album of the, uh, 10's? The adolescents?"

Dan's Reply: "Maybe this time they'll just put the album on MySpace. Completely free. No vinyl. No cost. Nothing."

"Maybe they will hand-deliver them on earth friendly hovercrafts."

Dan's Reply: "As opposed to those anti-earth crafts I've been hearing about. Yes."

"Well, they are anti-gravity, but pro-earth. Let's put it that way."

There you have it. As far as I know, he still believes me. I assumed more folks would fact-check on a day of foolishness. Pitchfork rounded up some of the music-related tricksters. Though I'm not a NIN fan, I do agree with Ed Droste and the rest of the geeky universe that this is the cake-topper. And, I admit, I'd listen to it.

Well, I'm off to catch South Park reruns and see if they pulled another Not Without My Anus-sized prank, then sleep. This blog may seemingly only be promoting old favorites in the music realm, so please note that new Balmorhea and Phoenix kick some ass. And I must listen to DOOM, Woods, Harlem Shakes and Super Furry Animals' respective latest albums more. I'm just so captivated by this whole favorite 100 albums of the decade notion that I'm spending more time delving backwards than forging forwards. The Glow, Pt. 2 never quite struck me like it has lately, and shoot me if Mount Eerie isn't a fine follow-up, thematically and otherwise.
