one thing i have learned in my scant 34 years here on this rock is that the minute you think you have shit figured or planned out thats when reality slaps ya upside the head and goes “hey not so fast there buddy.” case in point(s) took the car to tires plus for an oil change and inspection, and of fuckin course they come back with i need this and need that. do i have the cash for the this and that? no… luckily they said it could wait a while. that very afternoon i was pulling into my subdivision and i hear a clacking coming from one of my tires and wouldnt you know it, theres a god damn nail in one of em. lovely… thats not even the most annoying happening, but i’ll just stop there and just say the last 72 hours has pretty much busted our budget for this move. rock n roll!!!!!!! hate being such a fuckin buzz kill, but damn if the past 8 months been a son of a bitch.
dave fischoff aka spoolwork has thrown his hat into the radiohead remix challenge with his retooling of the track reckoner off in rainbows. i was not a fan of rainbows, so i am not super familiar with “reckoner” but i can only assume its better than the original. vote for it here.

if i had the cash, i would definitely be all over this one. woot has a brand new white 30gb zune for lousy 130 bucks. go get yourself one. you know you want it or if you dont just buy your boy one. i’ll take it.
band of horses and musictoday are taking pre-orders for cease to begin and all orders come with an awesome band of horses beer koozie. who couldnt use a koozie now-a-days especially when you just need to have that road brew. they have a few t-shirt/cd/lp deals going on and you can buy tickets to their upcoming shows. sadly, no atlanta date at this time. check out the goodies here
the first time i laid eyes on jesy fortino aka tiny vipers i had to do a double take cause she looks a lot like a young lady i used to date when i was about 20/21. then the more i looked at her, the more i realized they look nothing like each other but there’s still something about her that is eerily remiscent of my ex. regardless, i am really loving this song. now do i love it on its own merit or because she reminds of someone i used to really dig. probably a little bit of the latter but it is a wonderful little song. she’s got a new record out on sub pop entitled, hands across the void.
