All Day

(This is as close to what I saw as I could find on a quick search)

I saw my first sun dog this morning on the way to class today. It was hard to make sense of what I was looking at when I first noticed something was up, but after a 100 minutes of zoning out of history class, I was able to remember what it was I saw.

It was really quite beautiful and it makes me want to wake up early in the near future to catch another glimpse of one sometime soon.

Island Mix

We've all thought about it. What 5 albums would we take with us if we were stranded on a desert island that somehow had a PA system rigged up and a little waterfall nearby to generate enough power to run it. It's difficult to choose only 5 albums for anybody to listen to in a given week, let alone for years on an island, but I thought I would give it a shot...

In no particular order, my island 5.

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

Mastodon - Leviathan

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

Radiohead - Kid A

Honorable mentions...

Slayer - Reign in Blood

The Killers - Hot Fuss

Elliott Smith - Either/OR

The entire Beatles back catalog.



What would make your list?

I Didn't Know

Holy shit, C. Wright Mills is a badass. All you need to know is that he was a straight up gangsta in the world of sociology in the 1950s. If you want to read some insightful shit, check out his masterpiece, The Power Elite, at your local library.

Straight. Fucking. Ballin'.

Stich listen to this song

Crystal Castles ft. Robert Smith covering some Canadian new wave band

Brian Wilson is a badass

This past weekend was Halloween and as far as I'm concerned, it's probably societies best opportunity for people to get shitty drunk, dress up in extravagant/lazy costumes, and overall make a mess of the city next to a "Rocky Horror Picture Show" screening.

That said, I was quite impressed with what Fargo/Moorhead was able to pull off in terms of costumes considering there is always the possibility of frostbite whenever one goes outside after mid-October. I saw quite a few Tom Cruises from Risky Business as well as more than a handful of Flying Spaghetti Monsters, but they paled in comparison to the best costumes of the night. As I was leaving a bar and on my way to another one sometime after midnight, I looked to my right and saw a group of guys decked out in straight up Beatles clothing and hair circa "A Hard Day's Night" run into another group of Beatles only they were dressed up in "Sergeant Pepper's" gear.

Seeing the two groups bump into each other an stare each other down before continuing on their way made my night. I wonder how many times that happened elsewhere that night...

Anyways, post a description of the best costume you saw at any point during Halloween weekend.
