Instead of a traditional Sunday Mix Tape this week, I'm going to highlight more great albums which were released in 2010. The one caveat here is that these are all albums which were reissued this past year. Or last year. Weird…two days ago I was saying "this past year" and now I have to say "last year" to not be considered retarded. There were plenty of great albums reissued in 2010. And a lot of them were more modern re-pressings, which I don't care for at all (really? Another limited-edition Group re-press? Ugh!). I'm [...]

In celebration of the imminent arrival of my new 3LP box set of this masterpiece, which is finally receiving the vinyl treatment after 40+ years. Taken from Aquarius Records: "Before we actually listened to this...we didn't expect too much from these fairly obscure Swedish psychedelic underground rockers, having never heard them before, and knowing only that they were an earlier incarnation of another Swedish hippy rock outfit (Träd, Gräs och Stenar) whose much-hyped live album failed to impress us when it was issued on CD several years ago by this same label. So how [...]
I'm exhausted. It's been a long day and a long week, and I am looking forward to a good night of sleep tonight. This week should be a little more laid back than the previous one, and will provide me with opportunities to go out into the world and have some fun. I think. I don't really know. We'll see, I guess. The only thing I know for certain is that today is Sunday, which means I have to compile for you a new mix tape. It's Sunday Mix Tape time! RULES for uninitiated [...]
Today was a rather long and cruel one. It was very hard to focus on work, though I did complete several tasks that needed to be done. Concentration has not been easy for the past few days. In fact, it became a lot harder yesterday after my long day of solo travel down to San Diego for drinking. To be honest, I was starting to feel hungover by 10:00pm last night. Shit, I wound up playing poker with Landon and Nate when I got home and I was making a lot of brainless decisions. I just missed the final table [...]

Hi friends. It's been an eventful 48 hours. My bank account has been frozen by Bank Of America, leaving me with...$12 in cash that has to last me until my new debit card arrives this week. Supposedly there was "suspicious activity" reported by Mastercard, but when I called to ask what happened, I was told that they were not allowed to reveal what the activity was. I called bullshit, and they held their ground. So, really, I don't know why they froze my assets. Maybe someone got ahold of my account information, maybe they didn't. We'll never know. I just [...]
