Smiths

I listened to Morrissey all day yesterday and for the first part of this morning before putting on Louder Than Bombs.




Sheila, Take a Bow may equal my life at twenty-six.

Seasons Greetings.

Awesome busted umbrella in the trash can at the train station.

The aforementioned chocolate-chip vegan cheezecake.

No Thanx

Thanksgiving is tomorrow. The fact that the holiday season is already beginning completely took me by surprise.

I just went out and bought a bunch of Tofutti Cream Cheese and a Tofurky.

I'm stoked.

Worm Tamer

Picture I took of Grinderman at the Riviera last night using my BlackBerry.

Mrs. Magician

My good friends in Mrs. Magician just put out a great 7" and got a pretty good review by Buddyhead. It's really good. I'm planning to pick one up when in SD in December.

I'm super pumped on the cover:

SECOND city

I got back from Boston relatively recently (Tuesday). I went to Massachusetts for work recently and got to take a few days off to spend some time with my little brother in Boston/Somerville. It was fun.

I love Boston. I feel like the city moves at a bit of a different pace than that of Chicago. Chicago feels manic at times.

The Bruins were playing when I was in Boston, but I wasn't able to go. I was looking forward to seeing the Blackhawks play on TV when I was back in Chicago, and was baffled at how poor they looked last night against the Calgary Flames. Calgary is having a good season, but they outplayed and outpaced Chicago through and through. I'm hoping to get to a Hawks game this season.

Listened to a lot of Boston-centric music when I was there. Y'know how it goes.

life's a game,
let's not forget--
just one request:
please, press 'reset'
fuck.

Strangely Excited about this one

Apparently Damon Albarn is forming a new group with Flea and Tony Allen. You had me at Damon Albarn.
