Bat for Lashes "What's a Girl To Do?"

I swore that I wouldn't put "new" music on here. You can get it anywhere. There are a thousand blogs you can find this stuff. Like every blog is talking about Radiohead's new album. Do I need to? I just like this song and like it even more because of the video. It's E.T. meets Donnie Darko. I like the fact that you can see the steam from her breath and it's seemingly one shot. (I heard it took four days to light that shot!)

Today I purchased a Niteride Solmate. It's a halogen light for the night ride. I know its no HID, but I can't afford it. I just talked myself out of the HID. The Solmate should come today. I want to test it Thursday night at Wilderness loop. Anyone care to join me?

Tonight I'm going to see LCD Soundsystem and Arcade Fire. I'm not a huge fan of either, but I'll check it out. I saw the dude from LCD Soundsystem years ago at the Cardinal Inn. His band Speedkings played outside with Litmus. Damn I'm gettin old. I'll have a report Friday on the show.

Some lost gems. These were on a 7 Inch (Ben wants more inches) that came with the Mutations record. Gettin ready for a camping trip this weekend. Goin to Mammoth Cave to do the Sal Hallow trail. I've ridden it once before. You can really break out in some big ring and hit some speed. I can't wait. Fall break is near and school is almost halfway done? It's annoying.

90's Nostalgia!!!!! Rain

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^(That's going to be me in 40 years!)^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It's been a while we missed you. Where have you gone? It's been a long time since I've not gone out to ride because of the rain. I could just bore you with some tunes that you've heard before that are about rain (Buckets of rain and....RAIN by the Beatles) No lets go back east and visit a group from D.C. I never got to see Unrest but I saw a later Mark Robinson incarnation. My senior year in high school I drove a silver Jetta. The car's horn was in the same key as Cath Carol. I would drive around town and hold the horn down during the song.

GUYS IF YOU DON"T PUT ANY COMMENTS EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE, I START TO THINK THAT NO ONE IS VISITING THE SITE AND I'LL JUST SHUT IT DOWN. REQUESTS OR COMPLAINTS WELCOME.

Unrest, Cath Carol:

On to Utica!

Yesterday i did a road ride to Utica, Indiana. Greg called me up and said the route was about 20 miles. I met up at Greg's (in the Highlands) and picked up Mark. It's a pretty flat ride except for crossing the Second Street Bridge. A truck zoomed by my and it felt like it was going about 65 mph. There were some bad mesh grading all along the bridge as well, I get to that later. We went along the river road past Jeffboat. There was a nice breeze coming off the river and not too much traffic. It's been a long time since I've do a road ride with outer people. It's refreshing to shoot the shit. Mark and I even started talking about biochemistry! We saw lots of other riders along the way, doing the same route. I ended up blowing a tube on a grading on the bridge. Luckily I had all the tools and it didn't take me long to fix it. I blew ANOTHER tube about half a mile from Greg's. Greg picked up my car and drove it to me. My day was DONE!. All in all it was actually a total of 30 miles from Greg's to Utica and back. I'm going to try it from my house soon, if and when it cools down.

90's Nostalgia!!!!!!!! Hey Ladies!!!!!!!!!

I liked chick rock 15 years ago. Not that riot grl/grl power shit. Tsunami, The Breeders, Helium. You Know! I couldn't stand that cutsie Juliana Hatfield stuff. It all sounded the same: soulless. These chicks rawked with precision, purpose, depth. Drew, Craig, Nick, and myself went to see Helium at Sudsy Malone's during the Dirt of Luck tour. Craig shot an interesting vid of Mary Timony. Very youtube-worthy. I tried to find Helium's XXX video from Beavis and Butthead. No avail. But here's Superball though. Butthead said that she needs some sleep. Tsunami is another great band from D.C. with one of the best voices from that era: Jenny Toomey.
