octopus pie

drive-by truckers - brighter than creation's dark (2008)

Whoa, really didn’t expect to like this. My new country road driving CD!

kraftwerk - trans-europe express (1977)

Incredible. I’m always shocked at how long ago this stuff was made. So glad to have this on vinyl!

ladytron - velocifero (2008)

Aipe yipe! Not impressed, sad to say. Ladytron’s seen better days.

vampire weekend - vampire weekend (2008)

Not sure how well this one’s holding up for me, but I do like to put it on now and then.

a tribe called quest - midnight marauders (1993)

The Low End Theory remains my fav, but it’s a close second. A+ inking music!

sun kil moon - april (2008)

Can’t deny it’s good music, but indie folk doesn’t do nothin’ for me no more.
Haul from the record fair. The one in the middle is a live Captain Beefheart album, woah!!

stars - set yourself on fire (2005)

This album makes me nostalgic for all the traveling I did that year. Somehow I never got tired of it either!

Sorry no updates, I been doing a lot of “thinky” work days and music does not help my brains. More idle music listening to come!

belle & sebastian - the boy with the arab strap (1998)

I feel like this is one of my most-memorized albums, yet I still get off on those spoony noises in “Sleep the Clock Around”.

make believe - going to bone church (2008)

Surprisingly good math rock! They really had me until the spoken poetry on the title track.
