Random Facts

Here are some random facts that have recently come to my attention:

-Ted Leo (yes, the man) produced Jejune's This Afternoons Malady. I wonder what else he's produced.

-Kickball can be played even with broken-down 12-pack boxes of Coors Light as bases.

-Chances are good that the next new CD I will buy will be My Morning Jacket's Z (out on the 20th of this month).

-Holiday=day with no obligations

The divisive goblin vocals are vastly pared-down here, as are the blast beats.
