It is another spectacular day at work. Back to the grind after spending the weekend with my parents. They came into town which meant some good quality time and tasty meals. There has been a good amount of sweet tunes coming my way lately but one band I am really digging on is Discovery. They are off the Xl label and features members from Vampire Weekend, Ra Ra Riot, and the Dirty Projectors. 3 bands I really like! So it was a definite sign I was going to enjoy the LP at least a bit.

My weekend was very fun. I am still a bit worn out by all the activity. Nice dinners, late nights and some good sleeping in. I also set up the new TV and stand this weekend. Just in time for game 3 of the NBA Finals. That damn thing had been sitting in the box for weeks. 

I went out with Erika last night for her friend's birthday. It was kind of a big dinner because I was meeting some of her good friends for the first time. I usually try to avoid large dinners because I hate how you never really get to talk to everyone. The table is always so large and segmented into a bunch of different conversations. There is also usually the chore of dealing with the check as well.

I feel bad. I haven't posted in a while now and I know that my 4 readers might be a little bummed. I have been crazy busy at work and my usual bouts of downtime have not been existent for a couple weeks. I'm praying for a mega millions win tonight.

I feel like I have been falling behind on recent music releases. It's a terrible shame for an owner and operator of a music-centric blog. You know that thing you do with your friend who also happens to be into music where you go back and forth naming bands and new albums? " Oh have you listened to the new this yet?!" " No, but I hear it's pretty good" " Oh yeah it's amazing. You have to listen to it!"..." Oh there's this remix of that MGMT song that is fantastic" " Oh I think my friend sent me that but I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet". That happened to me yesterday and it was quite embarrassing because I kept having to say I hadn't heard any of it yet. 

My buddy passed me this link to a song that was 90% comprised of sounds from the movie Alice in Wonderland. The result is this beautiful and trippy collage of sounds that bring to mind something Bjork would do. The weird url below is the link to the same song but with trippy visuals. ENJOY!

What is better than coming home to a turkey club, a milkshake and a sweet lady ( Cue: Tyrese's  song 'Sweet Lady") after a long long day? Not too many things; maybe stacks of $100 bills that touch my ceiling. Maybe a Snuggie filled with golden pirate treasure. Maybe the cast of 30 Rock sitting on my couch playing drinking games.  Ok but other than those things...my situation can't be beat.
