Blitzen Trapper - Furr
While there is a song or two on this album that I skip pretty much every time through, there are enough gems to make up for it. Generally the more country/folk sounding songs are the better ones. Listen to Blitzen Trapper on myspace. Buy Furr on Amazon.com.
Unrelated, it’s come to my attention that certain aspects of my site no longer work with Internet Explorer (”The webpage cannot be found”). I’m probably not going to be fixing the problem anytime soon. Consider yourself informed. If you’ve noticed the problem, you might want to consider Firefox.

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
This book details a single day in the life of Ivan Denisovich, a prisoner accused of spying and serving tens years in a Soviet labor camp. My major takeaways? Life can be ridiculously difficult sometimes, and even with a seemingly bleak future the average person wants to struggle on and see another day. Hard/quality work is something to enjoy and take pride in regardless of compensation. It’s actually not that cold in Tulsa right now. I’m relieved I’m not in a labor camp.

Hush Arbors - Hush Arbors
It only took one listen to figure out this album will be going in my heavy rotation. Listen to Hush Arbors on myspace. Buy Hush Arbors from Amazon.
Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat
It tastes like Fruity Pebbles!

The Road by Cormac McCarthy
My faithful readers, if you have not read Cormac McCarthy’s The Road then you should know that I hate you. I’ll never say it to your face, but I do hate you. Go buy it and read it immediately. It will only take you a day to read, and then I won’t be forced to hate you anymore. Not to mention it’s brilliant.
Further motivation: the story will be hitting the big screen next year.
Black Moth Super Rainbow - Drippers
Time to break out your secret stash of acid and shrooms. This is the album you’ve been saving them for all those years. Check out Black Moth Super Rainbow on myspace. If you’re trip isn’t over and you’re still feeling the groove of Black Moth Super Rainbow, check out Tobacco. It’s basically the same thing/person.
