A Case of the Mondays

It's another Monday morning, and I am at home with the kids. One of them is under the weather, though my own diagnosis as to what ails her has been challenged. It is a day resplendent with child care and housework, so, y'know, not exactly so much with the fun. Thankfully, there are a couple of fond diversions available.

It has just been brought to my attention that the debut release from Shael Riley and the Double Ice Backfire, Songs from the Pit, is now available for sale to the general public in very limited quantities. It is important to note that Songs from the Pit is available neither a digital download nor as a CD, but as a cassette. Yes, you read that correctly. If you would like to hear this album but don't have access to such a quaint device as a tape player, I am apt to point you in the direction of a local bazaar that stocks such antiquities. But instead I shall simply chastise you for forgetting your musical roots.

In other news, I at last have a lead on some potential video of Blak Lotus's impromptu Nerdapalooza performance of "Munchin' on the Cooch," the mythical song to which Justin called my attention last week. Kourtney has some footage of this rare bird, and will be sending it to me shortly. I will then be more than happy to reciprocate and pass it on to all of you. Please follow @kourtn3y on Twitter to show your appreciation for her unbridled awesometude.

And speaking of awesome, here is a video tribute I received this weekend courtesy of Snipey and Beefy. I'll go on record as saying its eventual follow-up will feature Beef Thompson and myself running toward each other across a flower-strewn field. Slow-motion style.

I picked up a cassette, people you need to grab these now. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

"But instead I shall simply chastise you for forgetting your musical roots."

By the time I was old enough to form opinions about music, the Audio Cassette was already in it's death bed. I dare not abandon my roots in CD. I'll wait for a (hypothetical) release on disk.

Fantastic Z, anxiously awaiting the video of Blak Lotus.

I did as well, Steffo. Good stuff!

LOL Understandable, Torboxx.

Same here, Justin. It has yet to materialize, but I hold out hope!

You were a party to history in the making, ks. ;)

History that took a few takes!

As history often does. ;)
