Forgot just how good this entire album is. It probably took me 10 or 12 listens to enjoy it in it's entirety; but I love it.

Giving the album a second listen right now. I like it and respect it. I don't know that I'll be reaching for it repeatedly for enjoyment, but I think it's interesting. Quite a bit of music I listen to these days falls into that category, though. Not a knock on those albums, more on the mood I'm in at any given time.

J. Tilliman, former drummer for the Fleet Foxes, has a new project called Father John Misty. While this performance is kitsch as hell, the album is really solid for those who like songwriting filled with weird cultural allusions and surprising turns of phrase.

I got to see Otep on their House of Secrets tour in Memphis, TN back in 05 -- it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. They ****ing brought it that night. Craziest pit I've ever seen. I haven't listened to most of their recent stuff but I did pick up her poetry books a few years back -- some demented stuff.
****ing weird ass lady too, that Otep Shamaya.. We had backstage passes and went to visit with them after the show and she just locked herself in the bathroom screaming and crying the whole time.. I forget the bass players name "Evil something" - but he apologized for her behavior and said that the tour was tearing her apart.. We got his autograph and took a photo and that was that.

Yeah, I cruised youtube for a bit watching those guys. After seeing a couple of docs, she certainly plays the "tortured artist" role up. Maybe for her it's not a role anymore. Eh, whatever. Love her voice and a bunch of their songs.

holy shit, awesome...

holy mother...my idol ric flair with his best line ever: "I have more cars than most of you have friends..."

Anyone else listening to volbeat? I'm not sure why it took me so long to find this band.
