Mandy and I are sitting in the airport (JFK) waiting to board and get on with a week of vacation. First to Mendocino, then on the Placerville. Should be a great week of R&R. If you really need to reach me, I’ve got my cell and should be checking email once a day or so.
Also, and more importantly, today is our 1-year anniversary! This time last year, I was just getting breakfast and getting ready. It’s been the best year of my life and I couldn’t ask for a better person to spend it with.
From Brazil, CSS is the first South American band Sub Pop has foisted upon the global marketplace. The title is Portuguese for “Tired Of Being Sexy” and the sound is a thick, pulsating thing full of haphazard synths and a come-on of call and response that tears down any attempt at posturing. It’s equal parts rock mantra and throwback into something new, transcending boundaries of genre and geography. It goes full speed into dance territory, into the unknown and untouched, to emerge all hot and bothered with wild electro-rock. Quick, tightly-wound, unfastened, and supreme.

This Liberty Mutual ad really strikes a cord with me.
