While De-Loused in the Comatorium was a great first album, The Mars Volta decided to discard any sort of formula and re-invent their own wheel by asking the question: "What if we make a 5-song concept album about a drug addict in search of his biological parents?" Turns out they wanted it to be 6 songs, but CDs couldn't hold all of it, so…
In a three way boil off we find out what stove is fastest, JetBoil Flash, MSR Pocket Rocket Deluxe ("Pro, 2"), or the JetBoil MiniMo. https://youtu.be/vwpIG-LcEaI
This playlist doesnt really have a specific theme. Its just a collection of 11 songs that I like and think flow together well. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0ID_xbWhWjEHkGURaCXkEhYj251eBEKG
I wasn't ready for this. I knew Death From Above 1979 had a new album coming soon, but I didn't know it was today. Holy hell was this a welcome surprise. I've been listening to these guys since the early 2000s when their sound was a welcome change. The best way I can describe it is fast fuzzy dirt. They bring a special kind…
The Antlers have been around for awhile and I really like some of their music, like their 2009 album Hospice. This album is a bit of a departure for them and they haven't released anything since 2014, so I'd imagine the songwriting was in a bit of a different place.

Thanks to the stimulus moneys, I decided to stimulate the economy with a new computer purchase. My current desktop is about 9 years old, which is a dinosaur in computer terms. I found a nice pre-build on NewEgg with one of those fancy RTX 3070 graphics cards that you can't get anywhere. Yesterday, it was supposed to arrive by UPS. Since it's expensive, I…

A long time ago, I heard about this Sirius XM satellite radio station that was focused on indie rock, both new and old. It's called Sirius XMU and it is probably the closest thing I've found that aligns with my own music tastes. While I don't subscribe to satellite radio, I do check in periodically to the play history as an indie music barometer…
