Currently listening to "The One Who Got Us Out" by Ted Leo/Rx. They're one of those bands I never really think about as being one of my favorites, but every time they come up in shuffle I stop and listen to one or two or three of their records.
Perhaps my favorite Ted Leo creation:
Finland trip is in a week and a half... kinda can't wait. Stoked to see Disco Ensemble and Lapko and, perhaps most of all, get the hell out of this Florida humidity. Ack.

iTunes Genius.
Genius results on The Replacements' "Alex Chilton" gives me My Bloody Valentine, Wilco, Pixies, Pavement, The Jesus and Mary Chain... but no Paul Westerberg.
...
I deleted my Twitter, Facebook, and Audioscrobbler accounts today for myriad reasons that I may expound upon here eventually. Point being, this will be the only "social media" site I maintain - or hope to maintain. Sometimes 140 characters isn't enough.

Tegan and Sara
I can not believe it took me more than five years to really get into Tegan and Sara. Terrible.

Random: Some Cover Art I Particularly Like...
Someone with an artful eye wish to tell me what these three have in common?

Video Killed the iTunes Star.
This actually happened a while ago, but I never wrote about it so here it is.
Shai Hulud came back from the dead to release the predictably-titled Misanthropy Pure in 2008. The lead single was a song called... "Misanthropy Pure." Great metalcore song. Shai Hulud at its finest. Then I saw the video.
And I was sad.
Why must we take hardcore (or metalcore, I guess) so seriously? Now I can't listen to this song without thinking of the video, and that's a bona fide bummer.
... obviously not much to write about today.

Lent.
I decided to give up three huge time suckers for Lent: Twitter, Facebook and Audioscrobbler.
No coincidence that my blogging has increased. Two posts in a week!
PS, the veg thing is going well. I had a nasty "vegetarian wrap" at MOSI for lunch today, but I am not deterred!
Oh, and I picked up a band I've long been a fan of, House of Fools, this week. Pretty stoked on their new jams. Also working on one big surprise... HOPING it comes through. Another band people thought was dead. Seems to be my specialty.

Vegetarianism
It's been a few years since I maintained a vegetarian diet, but I've decided to go back to it now for a myriad of reasons (that I'll delve into in another post). For now, I thought it'd be interesting to track my journey from carnivore to herbivore through the eyes of a very fickle eater. So here goes.
Day 1: Breakfast was two Gardenburger sausage patties on biscuits I pulled out of the freezer. The biscuits were DELICIOUS (too delicious) but the sausage was very bland. Not enough spice to make my brain think that it could have been real sausage.
Lunch was a veggie delite sandwich from Subway. Something interesting about this sandwich is that 95% of the time it tasted like just about any other sandwich I would get from Subway. I usually read while I eat lunch, which kind of distracts from what I'm eating, and it hasn't even entered my mind that this sandwich is meatless. And it's like two bucks cheaper than a chicken bacon ranch. I've found heaven.
Dinner: Baked ziti. I never use meat sauce in my pasta dishes, so this was nothing new. Tasty as usual.
I survived day one and as I write this am enjoying another tasty veggie delite sandwich for day two's lunch. I've got some other Gardenburger and Boca products sitting in my fridge that I'm anxious to check out this week.
