Song in my head:
"Solitaire" by Strung Out

Thanksgiving lunch was fantastic. The food was excellent and being around the family was very nice. I never get tired of green bean casserole, cornbread dressing balls and turkey. I think I ate two plates worth of that, along with other stuff. I'm so full that I'm probably going to skip dinner tonight and hit the hay early.

No plans for tomorrow during the day. I don't feel the urge to get out and take on the shopping crowds. I may put up some lights around here. I will be seeing The Firebird Band tomorrow night though. Shall be worthwhile.

I was not sure where Deafheaven would go after another record that brought My Bloody Valentine and death metal fans together, but they beautifully rebooted their sound on Infinite Granite. The divisive goblin vocals are vastly pared-down here, as are the blast beats. Sounding more inspired by Slowdive, the band has discovered a new sonic palette that I hope they explore more of in the future. It’s a welcome revelation. I still love their older material, but this has renewed my love of what these gu...
