Non-Alcoholic
Yesterday I left work a bit early, hiked over to Whole Foods Market near Central Square and waited in line for a little more than an hour. What did I do a few minutes before waiting? I bought a couple bottles of wine from Caduceus Cellars of the Merkin Vineyard in Arizona.
Why would I do [...]

FLAC Me
I’m slowly replacing my entire digital music collection from MP3s (and the very few AACs) to FLAC. First of all, it’s slow because I have re-rip all my CDs, and second, it takes up so much more space on my hard drive. But it’s worth it! Lossless, perfect CD quality sound. No more worrying about [...]

United Swingdom
I’m leaving for the UK this Monday, going for ten days. Not doing any of that touristy crap¹, already done that a million times, so I’ll just hanging out with a few friends the entire time, mainly just in London and Liverpool. I do have one goal when I’ll be over there though, I’m going [...]

Killurz
I’ve been listening to The Killers again lately. I was a big fan of their first album, Hot Fuss, but their second one, Sam’s Town, I think I listened to it a few times and it didn’t do anything for me. Well their third studio release, Day & Age, I’ve got to say is impressive. [...]

Reading & Leeds Festivus
I don’t know if anybody noticed, but this past weekend was the Reading & Leeds Festival in the UK. Call me effing bitter, but nobody wanted to go with me, not to this one, not to the Isle Of Wight Festival, not to the Sasquatch Festival, not to …
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with [...]

The Helio Sequence – Keep Your Eyes Ahead
This album… wow. If the first song (Lately) doesn’t pull you in, then don’t even bother with it, but I swear to you it will. Hell, the lyrics themselves will kidnap you, regardless of the music. I’ve been listening to it for a few months on and off, [...]
I Are Scientists
For the life of me, I just can’t stop listening to We Are Scientists lately, their new album Brain Thrust Mastery, but especially their 2006 album With Love And Squalor. I’ve been a fan of their for a couple years, but since their amazing show a couple weeks ago I’ve been rejuvenated, almost to the [...]

Non-stop
So I’m headed to a Radiohead conert tonight, finally. Only seen them once before, it would’ve been three times already if the first two festivals with Radiohead didn’t get canceled on me, bad luck with them I think.
The first rain or shine outdoor show was axed because of rain. Yeah, you read that right. The [...]

EphiphaNIN
You know what I just realized on the way home from work? I bitch and moan a lot when it comes to concerts… and food… and waking up early.
But then again, I’m assuming you guys probably don’t want to hear how wonderful my life is, cause, well, happy people are annoying as balls on [...]
