"After last night it's hard to shine." - Rodan.

Some odds, some sods.

The Big Ticket is building a list of its favorite tracks of the year, all of which to day I heartily approve of. Check it out -- song list/links at bottom of post.

Former Pitchforker and current PSFer Chris Ott does a serviceable job in his turn manning the Stypod.


My latest obsession. Another obsession is finding a cheap but relatively pristine copy of the Arthur Prysock record "Soul Soliloquoy" (King), which has this zany song on it called "Where the Soul Trees Grow." There is a sample of the song here.

And then they were gone...
