I think(?) it's a vinyl only edition of 450 from a German label, Shadoks, for actual physical purchase ($45) but it's on IndieTorrents and Waffles also. There's also yousendit, which I think wouldn't be too devious considering the price tag and limited availability on the real deal.

'70s Zambian psych. It's amazing. There's a track you can preview here. Trust me, you want to click it. It'll make you feel all warm and fuzzy.

Me three!

Well, the cute dinosaurs are lost to us all so at least we are all together on having to live without them.

An alternate photo, cute elephant: Please don't say you've lost a beloved elephant or two.

(((Keeping it together vibes.))) Seriously! If you get to feeling a bit too edgy, just come here and look at this adorable puppy and count to ten.

Pat is all kinds of rad. I'm always disappointed when I'm watching the fellas on tv performances or youtube videos and the camera cuts away from his side of the stage just in time to miss the windmills and general rock-godliness. Total fox.

...and I've got Queens Bees and Odd Girl Out too. This "the disturbing lives of adolescent girls" genre is my bag. Right now, I'm reading through the "God: WTF is that about?" genre: and cheating on those with this, which is insanely good (and actually loosely related to the others):

(Xiu Xiu "The Air Force")

I think if we hype Eef enough around here, maybe someone will take notice. He does have a new album to pimp and all. Not that it matters too much to me as I won't be making it to any shows. Boo hoo hoo! Hoo hoo!

I think it's actually the gold pack with the angle of the camera and the lighting and reflection of the dark carpet making it look black.

Yessir! Dickson Street Music Fest in Fayetteville! Slim chance I'll make it but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Neato. Sonic Youth is playing a festival here in Arkansas this year. It'd be sweet if the Feelies came along too.

This article is rather funny. Here's a good bit of it:

"Estimated cost $160,000." Seriously. It seems awfully dangerous and it's uggggly!

It's done! Good lord, that was tough. I felt like most of the time. I said "ummmmm" and probably "like" a lot. I was nervous and stuttery and I didn't make enough eye contact. They are offering me the chance to do some "sub" work to try me out though so I guess I didn't totally blow it. Grrrr. Why can't I just win the lottery and then do whatever I want forever and ever? I really am excited though. I like the place, a non-profit that does early intervention for children with delays. They also work with adults and asked how I'd feel about working in that situation. I think it all sounds

Many vibes for a smooth (as possible) healing period.

Going to see them with Thao Nguyen on Tuesday.

Awwwwww. That's a cute polar bear. I always feel a little iffy when I visit the zoo and wonder if the animals are really happy there. I cry when the penguin in "Happy Feet" is trying to tell all the humans on the other side of the glass that they are screwing up his food chain. Once, a gorilla at the zoo charged the plexiglass and smacked it while giving me am angry look. It made me feel like a jerk for standing there staring at him and his friends.
