Atlas Sound, the amazing project by Bradford Cox, is getting a lot of attention, and I couldn't be happier. His debut solo album, Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel (TMT Review), has been available from Kranky for awhile now, but now word has it that 4AD will be releasing the album in the UK, May 5, and it will include a bonus disc of unreleased material! Which means now you gotta shell out more money for that second disc, but you know what? It's okay, because, as your financial adviser, I can tell you that you're doing just fine financially.
In other exciting news, Atlas Sound will be supporting Animal Collective -- who are releasing the Water Curses EP May 6 on Domino -- for a string of dates on their upcoming tour. It won't happen until May though, so if you MUST see Atlas Sound now, you'll want to head out to Los Angeles to catch them (he's touring with other people, you know) at The Echo tomorrow (Tuesday). And if you don't already live in Los Angeles, all you have to do is book a flight and hotel room for tonight, which will of course require more money. But you know what? It's okay, because, as your financial adviser, I can tell you that you're doing just fine financially.
Fuck it, since we're on the topic, here are other investment ideas during this possible recession:
- high-grade corporate bonds
- money market mutual funds
- gold and silver
