Back with a Bruise; Old W.A.S. mp3s

I've returned from tearing up the slopes of Vail, Colorado and have learned many a valuable lesson. For one, Vail is for the rich. Lift passes alone are 85 bucks a day. Luckily I had some connections so I didn't have to pay a cent. I, unfortnately, am not rich.

Secondly, the theory of "the faster you crash on a snowboard, the less it hurts"... well... it's not true. My tailbone is still recovering and is being heavily medicated with Aleve.

Thirdly... my soundtrack all week was The Picture's debut album. I've talked about them a lot this past month, so I won't go too far. I'll just say it's superbly amazing and fantastically brilliant. Except for the first song, which I just skip over.

I gotta lotta shows to quote/unquote "review", from this weekend and from before the holiday. Hopefully I'll get to that later today.

Some good news is that We Are Scientists are headlining their own show on January 12th at Bowery Ballroom, nearly a year from when I first saw them at CBGB. Tickets for that show are on sale now.

Here's two old songs from their first album, when they used to write about Science. No, I'm not kidding. They are good songs, and in hindsight are very informative of how they've progressed. A part of me even likes the simplicity of these better:

The Creeper
Ode To Star L23
