Did you have a good holiday? I did. Got to see some long time family friends and my extended family. It was nice.
Anyway, I was looking at a friends top 10 albums of 2008 list (http://www.meatsandfishes.com/?p=20) and I couldn’t help but notice that Deer Tick’s War Elephant wasn’t on the list. It was released in 2007; it would have voided the laws of the published list. It may have been released in ‘07, but it was my personal favorite find of the year. I’ve spent a lot of time with Deer Tick’s first release and will probably spend a bunch of time with it next year. I won’t describe the music to anyone reading this, as I couldn’t do it justice (my talents lie outside of critiquing music at this point). It’s awesome though, it’s one of those “every song is great” albums.
And the future: for concerned readers, updates will continue to be sporadic. When I do update, I’m going to be taling my subject matters in a different direction. Namely, away from the world of video games. I want to start fufilling the mission statement I layed down when I started this whole thing, that is to provide opinions and commentary on a multitude of topics. So less whinning about how crappy Sonic has become, more other stuff. I know “other stuff”, how vauge. But I’m not real sure what to talk about. It’s a mystery!
