Širom - In the Wind of Night, Hard-Fallen Incantations Whisper; compare to The Necks; both are trios who play long, semi-structured pieces with a foundation of repetition. But Širom play different instruments and are grounded in Slovenian folk music

The stank on this track is incredible, practically visible, and fully justifies naming the album Thermonuclear Sweat. A true stank-goat

Ended up in the British history section of the University library today, and OMG, these are the books on Sussex history. There's a similar amount for every other county!

3 shelves of books, about 3 feet wide; the there are three different sets of uniform "yearbook" volumes. Tens of thousands of pages!

I'm on the fence for that show; seeing Sweet Honey in the Rock in College Park the night before, another show might do me in

I can only get potato salad without pickles in it at one particular grocery store, on the other side of town. (At least it's a small town.) Sure would be nice if the grocery store THAT I CAN WALK TO would carry some non-ruined potato salad.

The best way to eat a microwaved burrito is to put it out in an Amoroso's club roll. Voila, the burrito sub!
