I find nothing more fun and relaxing than lighting up the Tone Cold Firepit out back after a long day of work. We have since gotten into the habit of just using said fire pit to cook our dinners. Our BBQ has been propaneless for a while now, and I am too lazy to fill it up. This past Sunday we sat out back, lit up some wood and charcoal, had some beerce, and cranked some chunes.
I hit up the Encores to see if they have the new Faith No More on "Big CD" as Chris would call it. They did not, but they did get a second copy of the new Pavement album, as well as the new Wilco on CD. I have downloaded the free version of the new Wilco, and I gotta say I am loving it. I have always kind of dug Wilco, but I cannot say I have ever loved an album. They always have like 5 GREAT songs on an album, but I find I usually skip a bunch of songs. This album though, I find that I really like every song. Its a short fun guitar album. It sounds like Wilco channeling Pavement and Sonic Youth. You Satellite is a perfect example of that. Great jam.
That Pavement is a great smelling cash grab from the Matadors. I usually have a bug up my ass to reissuing stuff that has already been released (all of these songs are on the double CD version of Slanted), but its Pavement, and I will literally buy anything they put out. Greenlander is one of my very fave Pave B-Sides.
Thursday means garbage day. Garbage day means clean up the house day. Clean up the house day means crank some tunes day. Crank some tunes day means crank some Mogwai day. Crank some Mogwai day means Hesher hides.
I just stumbled onto this amazing article where this writer Steve Mockus deconstructs the album art to the greatest record ever made. Such a cool article for album art geeks like me. Check it out HERE!
Here is a render of my work desk animation. I am having problems with the light causing some flickering which I would like to fix, but for now here it is.
