SR VIII: Vander Got Run Over By A Reindeer!

Last time I made a big order it took a while for it to ship, like a week.

Have you worked out things with your mom yet?  Will she be paying you a visit soon to see her new granddaughter? Yes, my mom is visiting this weekend. It's still a little awkward speaking with her though.  She mentioned how she doesn't want to "overstay her welcome," but that was never the issue in the first place.

Good reason or not, I'm sure it still had to sting being told to stay away from her grandbaby. I suspect that any coolness will probably melt as soon as she holds her for the first time however.

Heh, I would think that you wouldn't know weird and challenging until you heard Ascension, but you probably do.  I just got done listening to a Captain Beefheart (an artist that I heard about a year ago and immediately disliked) on Last.fm, and it actually sounded quite normal to my ears now.  Interesting...

I agree on Ascension. Still need Om though.

On a somewhat related note, Medeski, Martin and Wood's Radiolarians albums are friggin spectacular.

Comfort, comfort, why did you run for it?

It wasn't so much that...it's just my whole family was here for an extended time when my son was born and my wife didn't want to breastfeed in front of young males (nor would I allow her).  Plus I wound up playing the host for that whole time, trying to keep everyone accommodated and therefore ultimately failing my wife in supporting her.  The breastfeeding never worked out and my son had to bottle feed, and more than one nurse has asked us (without me mentioning anything!) if there were people causing stress (which keeps breastfeeding from happening).

I just wanted to support my wife and her only this time around.  I feel good doing it to be honest.

Indeed, I'm thinking it's a very good possibility. 

Personally, I can't understand why someone would consider Ascension a masterpiece.  I don't know about you, but it's way to cacophonus for my tastes.

I'd give it 5 stars.

But I was once in your shoes, so you never know.

I've heard that from many people.  When I first heard it, I was very confused why some considered it to be the best album ever.  Now, I can find value in it, but I still wouldn't place it among my favorites.  (About TMR)
