for once i actually got out of work close to on time. we had some stupidass store meeting or something and it ended at 5, so i pretty much ran out the fucking door right after that. this kinda sucked because i had to cram my entire workload into two less hours than normal, so a lot of projects that i wanted to get done today fell by the wayside. like printing new kwh flyers and…y'know…posting to bipolar.

but here i am, posting away. rejoice, or something.

two new reviews are up at 75 or less. you can catch my takes on the new casket lottery and wilco records. score! by the way…the conversation that jon says happened didn't really go exactly like that…i wanted him to print a baker's dozen. y'know…13. because i'm fuckin' crazy like that. or something.

q: hey, brian…what are you doing tonight?
a: well, since you asked…i'm going to see fugazi with rachel's and the shipping news with my good friend sebastian (who was once dead, but is feeling much better now). yes, indeedy, it should be an awesome show! i'm also pretty positive i won't be drinking. thanks for asking!

the live and/or rare mp3 of the day (or so)
botch – the wizard
in these black days vol. 5

the other side to my favorite volume of the in these black days series. botch goes apeshit all over "the wizard." that's about all that needs to be said, really.
