» the new mountain goats album came out yesterday. here’s john vanderslice’s photo diary of the recording session. and to think, i grew up a mere 5 miles from this recording studio.

» speaking of vanderslice, the new album has a release date and a recording diary. i want an advance. can’t wait.

» it’s been so long since i’ve posted, i can’t remember the macro shortcut for the bullets that i use.

» chris walla interviews sara vowell. salon wants you to read an ad before you read the article though, since you know you would read it if it were in a magazine. i know i ALWAYS stop to read the ads before i go to check out the article.

Let this be a reminder: You will be sorry if you haven’t listened to the Grind Date yet, especially when you’re cruising around in 75 degree weather and it’s bumping on the speakers.

And because I’ve been gone so long, here’s some old De la (feat. Mos Def), some new, and a special reminder: Blue Scholars are playing in Seattle on Friday for FREE at the HUB.

De la Soul | Big Brother Beat | Stakes is High
De la Soul | Days of Our Lives | The Grind Date
Blue Scholars | The Inkwell | S/T

Out-of-towners don’t be knowin’ about the best kept…. I’m on the lookout for a bagel w/ cream cheese and lox. Watch out.

pardon the disruption in service, i’ve been really busy and haven’t been in one place for more than an hour in a long time. i’ll get back to it as soon as i can, in the mean time, feel free to email me stuff you want to see up here, since i can’t do it myself. i’ll post anything, seriously.
