I wanted to post an album image that was black and white, but Oh Land just posted that one can stream her entire new album on NY Times, so...there I go:

You should call him Zildjian or something. Or one of the lesser known of your favourite drummers. PS Very cute.

Happy Birthday! (party favour noise)

What is this ^ ? I don't even...

You check it before the movie. There's also a nice spoiler protected synopsis that explains what happened while you were gone, but it doesn't show unless you click the link. So what it does is, it gives you cues on when you can leave that are fairly safe (Example cue from We're the Millers: ), and if you use them, you check them while you're outside to see what you missed (if you're fairly spoiler-paranoid like I am). The thing to do is, check a movie you've already seen, or that you're fairly sure you won't see.

I actually use m.runpee.com all the time -- probably more than the IMDB app, but I didn't know they added a timer, so will purchase ASAP.

Asparagus is awesome.

New Dream Theater full album stream On deck: Au Revoire Simone full album stream Eez a good couple of days for full album streams. I'm not even listing all the ones I'm listening to, just the highlights.

I just saw We're the Millers this weekend, so this made me laugh. EDIT: I saw the bumper sticker: "HONK once if you're Jesus, twice if you're Elvis." I, of course honked 3 times. And then once more, just to eliminate confusion.

I think the target for that .gif is slightly younger than either one of youse. Damn it, Knucks, come back!

Chvrches, The Bones of What You Believe -- another NPR first listen

Mazzy Star, Seasons of Your Day -- first listen on NPR -- first album in 17 years!?!? I think they out MBV'd MBV.

Not so much heresy as ... wrong. I'll have to disagree that if_then_else or Black Light District were anything other than top form for them. But I really like the post-Anneke stuff quite a bit, too, and continue to buy their stuff blindly without disappointment. That "that said" said, I think "Afterwords" and "Echoes Keep Growing" are even better -- two of the best things I've heard from them in years, and really look forward to the new album.

Happy Birthday, Deepak! (party favour noise)

I think we're done here, locking and moving on...

Sony MDR-V6/-7506, and spend the rest on getting some better music

Cat contemplating dog:

The problem with speakers vs. headphones are that headphones are designed to sound right about a cm from the driver, whereas speakers are designed to sound right feet from the driver, so I would think you would need some sort of bass reflex enclosure to correct how wrong headphones sound when you lay them on your desk and turn up the volume.
