The Elliot Smith comparisons were there for his first one, but this guy is himself enough to make me want to see what the rest of the album is about.

"I want to go out, but I want to stay home."   

That is basically my life too.  It usually ends up being staying in 99% of the time.  Such is the life of a working person.  And by going out, I mean Whole Foods with my mom or something.

I've cried because of the beautiful and life changing albums New Order supplied me with.  Apparently they're still at it with this new one.

So Deerhunter was my biggest obsession when Cryptograms came out.  I have subsequently seen them live twice, and one of my reviews for one of their shows got published.  Welcome back.  First stuff from them in a few years.

I totally stopped a guy dead in his tracks from my job the other day for being intolerant.  There are some dumb folks out there, really.  

Yesterday, I missed a call from my dermatologist, probably regarding the biopsy I had done.  I called back today hoping that the missed call wasn't for some diagnosis I didn't want to hear.  
They didn't have the results yet, but I really do value and love each day I am given.

Follow up:
Atypical mole, moderate.  Not cancerous, requires follow up within a year.  

It is hard to follow up a post about something as tragic as a senseless murder fueled by hatred at a gay pride event.  Sometimes music, as weird as it gets, especially in this video, does help for some of us.  New stuff from Autre Ne Veut.

It is disheartening to hear about recent events in Israel involving murders that happened at a gay pride parade in Jerusalem.  I can't change everyone's opinion or anything, but tolerance is definitely what we are looking for.
