Weekly, I’ll post what I’ve been digging music-wise. I have to say the upcoming Eternal Tapestry LP on Thrill Jockey along with the recent Ottawa reissue are a good place to start. I recommend listening to Eternal Tapestry on the way to work and Ottawa on the way out. Or just Ottawa all the time.

It was a great day to live in Jersey City. I got a mint copy of Meddle and caught up with arguably the most underrated straight edge rapper of our time, Rob R. Rock.

Back to the beach. It was a long time coming.
