365 Albums
365 - 01
From my Flickr page:
Since I am as photogenic as a naked mole rat, I am doing a vinyl album a day. I have hundreds of LPs that I’ve bought by the box. These are in no order and I am not picking the cream of the crop. This is whatever album I grab at the time.
365 days of LP cover randomness.
What is Blog?
I’m not going to lie. I have no idea what the fuck I am doing. All these terms like, pingback, linkback, trackback, blogroll, and whatever fucking else some geeks at a conference come up with, is all voodoo to me. I just post (I know that one) meaningless shit to give myself some sense of importance. I may take time to learn what all of this means and actually put effort into this site one day. Hell, I might even learn how to code instead of asking my girlfreind to help me.
But it’s sexy as hell when she gets all geeky on me so I may have to keep that one going.

White Rabbits
Fort Nightly
From avclub.com:
Brooklyn newcomers White Rabbits pull off an amazing sleight of hand with Fort Nightly, popping out of the hat with a debut as fully formed and self-assured as any likely to be heard this year. Comparisons to The Walkmen aren’t far off the mark—both groups share an appreciation for vintage instruments and the mod/ska sounds of The Specials—but where Walkmen deals in ragged morning-afters, White Rabbits evokes the champagne-popping here-and-now with buoyant ragtime and lyrical nods to The Great Gatsby’s endless, hollow pursuit of fun—and all the self-loathing and damnation that comes with it. The opener “Kid On My Shoulders” charges out of the gate with its relentless piano chug and a spectral chorus of the damned backed by an arsenal of Latin shakers and dual-drums, while calypso rhythms crop up in the shuffling ska of “Navy Wives” and the album standout “March Of The Camels,” where a chorus of creepy children (is there any other kind?) lends the song a ghostly Danny Elfman vibe. Rarely has the Inferno sounded this inviting.

This Could End Badly
I’m not educated by any means but when someone tries to create a mini sun ON EARTH… I get kinda freaked out.
Heat Miser Truama
The Devil of my Christmas past.
I loved the stop-motion animation Christmas specials as a kid. But there was one that always freaked me out. “The Year Without Santa Claus“, it wasn’t the show itself but on character, The Heat Miser. I hated that guy. I mean he was almost up there at Large Marge status in giving me the creeps as a child.
