SR XXIX: Goodbye 10% of the 21st century

Beacons
Jupiter
Marrow of the Spirit
Valley of Smoke
Anthropocentric
Path to Hocma
At the Edge of Time
The Final Frontier
Spiral Shadow

Are all in the running. There are also a bunch of others I have that probably don't have a chance for top 5, but I need to listen anyway for due diligence. And they are good none the less.

Oh!  Did your CD copy of Path to Hocma come yet?

Whaaaaa?

And yeah, I can pretty much say Marrow of the Spirit and Jupiter are locked for the top 5. And Marrow is a front runner for best.

I think with more listens, Marrow of the Spirit might become my favorite of theirs as well.

Of course I would be killing myself with you! And I do know that's not what their music normally sounds like, I'm not a fan of either but I know they're a lot better than that. I was so overcome by how horrible that video was I had to comment, and I couldn't do it in the thread because then I'd be getting like Walter.

Gibson Les Paul

  No, I said I really don't like that Tool song. I am sloppy with my adverbs, I know, but there is a difference. :P  I have an extremely nuanced hate gradient, there are Tool songs I dislike less. And I don't even hate Mastodon, I just don't care much about metal. I am annoyed, though, that the last track of Blood Mountain was listed as 22 minutes on PA, I was super disappointed there was no epic at the end when I got it from the library years ago. I should probably listen to that again, my tastes have changed vastly since then.

I would rather be impaled by a unicorn.

I was in McDonald's (I hate the food but I was hungry and I had a COUPON they sent me in the mail), and as I was eating and drinking Coke, CNN was on the TV, and they had a several minute f**king live report from Australia about Oprah's Australia trip she gave away to some fans, they were apparently going to meet that night at the Sydney Opera House, which for that day will be renamed the Oprah House. I sat there and I realized that this is what's wrong with America, McDonald's, Coke, CNN, and Oprah. And I am part of it. After that, they were playing something about the No Labels group that just started with all the star power of some campaign fundraising and pundit thugs, and not one of the people on CNN had the courage to say that the statements from No Labels are meaningless. Why weren't Fox running this story?  Seeing as they're run by Aussie Rupert Murdoch now... Hmm.

I don't know or care about Fox's coverage of the issue, CNN was what was on the TV.

Not when you're driving, it's not.

That reminds me, I need to find 4 Seasonal Beers for tomorrow night as my mate's having a Beer Festival at his house.  Mmm.
