When I previewed the first couple minutes I thought, "Oh great, more music for my wife to hate!"

Actually, with y'all being responsible, caring parents, I bet if you hip her to the context and the meaning behind this record, she'll better understand it's disjointed nature. When I watched the film and read the breakdown behind each song is when it really took hold for me. It sounds weird and uncomfortable and scary because that's where we're headed from a climate change standpoint. If changes aren't made, like yesterday, our children and grandchildren are fucked. That context makes this a very emotional record for some.

I think she could appreciate it on an intellectual level, but I think it would just superamplify her anxiety

Thinking back historically, sometimes that's what has to happen to compel an individual to initiate lasting change.

I’ll be listening to these on the airplane tomorrow!

Time to draw for the prize package. It's @AndySlash vs everyone else. He nailed them both - he earned the additional entries.

Sorry for the crappy pics - snapping shots of my monitor...



Will the odds win out? Let's see...

Spun this one twice today. So good.

Seemed appropriate to spin this on the hottest day of the year...so far.

One of these was in a box on my stoop when I left for work. Will be in my fresh grabs post tonight.

Well that was awesome. It’s probably not a surprise that I like acoustic guitar. This fits nicely into the collection with stuff like Yasmin Williams, Josh Kimbrough and Bryan Rahja.

Well, let’s see if this lives up to the promise of Seven Pines:

Man, that’ll make you think something’s gone wrong with your system.

It's a very different album from Seven Pines, lol
