i am officially on vacation. we made it to tampa in record time even with a stop at steak and shake. i dont think i have ever eaten there, but oddly enough it was pretty good. posts may be sporadic for the next seven days for hopefully i will be either busy fishing or too drunk to post anything with any degree of readability. thats not to say my shits very readable to begin with.

btw, i reposted the hold steady live from lollapalooza in 06 over here.

in terms of influencing/shaping my later day musical tastes, archers of loaf have to rank pretty high, at least in my top 7. both ickey mettle and vee vee still play a huge part in my listening habits, and both are used as some kind of strange measuring device on which all other records are judged. i love them both as if they were my own step child.
