A quiet week around here for many reasons, The new Asa & With Joyful Lips record is as close to comfortable, with strings and snapping low maintenance dubby drums, as we’re going to get. For the rest (go here).

What we’ve got plenty of are wannabe-bankers whose idea of a good life goes about as far as grabbing for the nearest, biggest bonus — what we’ve got less of are well-rounded people with the courage, wisdom, and capacities to nurture and sustain a society, polity, and economy that blossom. So put immediate gratification to one side and cultivate your higher sensibilities; learn the arts of nuance, subtlety, humility, and grace. – “Mastering the Art of Living Meaningfully”, Umair Haque

It’s earn your turns week around here; we’ve been getting after Teton Pass…and I smell like it. The only reason I’m even getting this post out is because my riding partner is the slothiest of sloths in the morning, and so I have a few moments, but he makes up for it with enthusiasm for good snow. Enjoy.

The Sloth

Over.End.Out – p.tone

I haven’t been able to put both ears inside my headphones for weeks, and right now I can actually feel the sounds pouring out of them into my chest filling it up. I feel bad for people with shitty headphones, that’s like thunder without rumble, waffles without syrup, titties without nipples. Not feeling shit. Which reminds me of another song I’ve been meaning to post. So this week has been all teeth, and next week I’m getting out, going out, getting after it. Savoring the taste. As your friend, and attorney, I’m advising you to place your headphones on full blast for this weeks post.

A Signal in The Static is all rumble.

Gah. File sharing sites are going down faster than girls at a frat party with pockets full of roofies. Apple turned into the Death Star, Google turned into The Borg. Graffiti is advertising. Music is a commodity. Snowboarding is a sport. Houses are square. Retailers are warehouses. Gah…

Luckily, there are bright songs about imaginary times where floating in bliss is the worst thing that happens.

It’s a little gross how much I like this song. Really. I bet it’s going to end up in a commercial for a teeth whitening, or a Barbie car. Ugh, I bet its already playing in a GAP somewhere… fukk.

That’s right tunawaxers! I’m doing a shocker…actually, not even a shocker. Deal with it. Nerds rejoice for your musical masterpiece of retro space love has been dropped by our favorite west coast beat maker in what could be considered one of the best mixtapes of all time. I’m not claiming… but … ya know. Headnodic all up in your space.

Gah. Anybody that knows anything knows that I loves some disco house. So when I opened up my mailbox and found this gem, my eyes went all anime and tears of glitter began spewing forth like unicorn jizz. absolutely the most amazing tasting tears I’ve ever shed. Of course it would take a team of these two to bring the house back in a style that could only be accompanied by those two rumps up above. Also, it seems that picture needs a pianist inserted.

…your attitudes came from actions which led to observations which led to explanations which led to beliefs. It is well known in psychology the cart of behavior often gets before the horse of attitude. Your actions tend to chisel away at the raw marble of your persona, carving into being the self you experience day-to-day. It doesn’t feel that way though. To conscious experience, it feels like you are the one holding the chisel, motivated by existing thoughts and beliefs. It feels as though the person wearing your pants is performing actions consistent with your established character, yet there is plenty of research suggesting otherwise. The things you do often create the things you believe.

And first,
Since body of earth and water, air’s light breath,
And fiery exhalations (of which four
This sum of things is seen to be compact)
So all have birth and perishable frame,
Thus the whole nature of the world itself
Must be conceived as perishable too.
For, verily, those things of which we see
The parts and members to have birth in time
And perishable shapes, those same we mark
To be invariably born in time
And born to die. And therefore when I see
The mightiest members and the parts of this
Our world consumed and begot again,
‘Tis mine to know that also sky above
And earth beneath began of old in time
And shall in time go under to disaster.

I was going to join the strike, but that’s not my favorite thing to do, and I can’t do my second favorite thing today, or ever. So before they kill this site with SOPA and PIPA-esq legislation, which I’m pretty sure is inevitable because we’re just really dumb monkeys and we learn from history very poorly, here’s another song because I love you. Personally, I blame Metallica… for everything. ever. including AIDS, volcanoes, and marshmallow peeps.
