Thanks to all of you who wrote letters asking after the health, sanity and (most importantly) cultural intake of your blogger during last weekend’s non-Dairy Queen blizzard. Not one card? Sheesh! The nerve!
Oh, I can’t stay mad at you. In fact, I even did a bit of online shopping for you, so you don’t wind up with another copy of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People or 1,000 Places to See Before You Die again this year. I’ll give you a choice between two options:
- St. Gods—formerly St. God’s Hospital, eternally melodic garage-punk band—gave it away for free months ago on their MySpace page. Click this link to download two EPs from the band, including the heavily recommended Young Money EP. Or…
- Remember Miljenko Matijevic? The man behind Steelheart and the songs in the Mark Wahlberg flick Rock Star opened a recording studio in town in 2008. Now, it looks like Matijevic is expanding his business a la David Lynch. In short: He’s going into coffee. The "Good 2B Alive" blend looks…well, it looks triumphant.
Speaking of, I need a cup and a new listen. Back with more in a bit.
