Makes Me Better

Hellhole Ratrace...10-year-old wisdom...

This is going to be a very short one. But, lately, as far as music listening goes, it's been fairly stale. I bought David Byrne and St. Vincent's collaborative effort, titled Love This Giant the day before yesterday but haven't given it a thorough listen which I hope will be remedied within the coming week. Aside from that, I'm still obsessively listening to Girls...you know...that band that had that singer that was raised in a cult, released two albums, and is suddenly no more...yeah that band.

Since I'm fully acclimated to their second album, I've been listening to their first record, titled Album. It's a fantastic listen, and I like that Christopher Owens chose different directions in terms of songwriting as well as his vocal delivery. It was an interesting surprise. But, lately, I can't get the tune, "Hellhole Ratrace," out of my head. You can hear that one below. Also, check out their song, "Big Bad Mean Motherfucker." It's a nice little throwback to good old-fashioned rock n' roll.



On a musically unrelated note...I've started writing down weird, funny, and interesting things people say, compiling them on my phone's "notes" app, which is also my attempt at becoming more technologically savvy, and this one was taken from my 10-year-old nephew. This is his response to seeing my older brother's newly-grown beard.

"You look rough, like life is going hard."

That's all. PEACE.
