Retrying Albums

I'm gonna try and insert a theme into this never-used blog called "Retrying Albums". This is where I try albums over again that I initially was like "WTF" but the album was well received by other dicks. The first in this series is: 8 Diagrams - Wu Tang.

This album had all sorts of weird hype, mostly centering around the fact that RZA had gone super indie with the beats and Ghost and Rae were not feeling it. I remember I listened to it like twice when I first got it fall of senior year ('07), and me and Joe agreed it sucked. Gone forever, despite how much I anticipated everything else Wu Tang did. Not to mention pitchfork was snooty about it.

Well, today I listened to it a few times in a row at work, and it's definitely an enjoyable album. Although the beats aren't something you are gonna be blasting at P-Days, you can pick out some really nice stuff here. The two all-stars on this album to me were GZA and Inspectah Deck, with Raekwon and Ghostface right up there. I think my fav track is windmill, which sounds like the intro to Kill Bill (also produced by RZA).

Other things that are interesting is that I definitely shared this song before anyone else on reader, but no one noticed it. Pots for my kitchen!

Playoff Beard: Round One Recap!

Alright! Sick win! What an awesome, awesome win. So awesome, that I think my beard decided to grow 1 cm in celebration!


In other news, I need a vacation badly, and Yosemite is just on the horizon. Hopefully weather will be solid and we can make it up half dome, and super awesome luck if we get to see the el capitan falls. Very rare indeed. Before that includes tryouts, and Texas Shootout with revolver. The Yosemite trip will start a waterfall of awesomeness that leads to poultry days and hopefully another deep playoff run.

To wrap this brief post up, I give you the obligatory Tommy Blog in geocities form. Not that great. Needs more blink.

it feels like you've drank 5 red bulls then been told to sit through a lecture on statistical analysis of demographics or something. OR SOMETHING!

Prius Gettin' Fiesty

On my bike to work from the San Mateo station this morning, some bro honks at myself and Tsama to get out of his way so he can get in the 5-minute left turn line to turn onto 101. First of all, we are pretty far over and you can definitely get around unless you are a garbage truck, second of all, get a life dick.

Then I turn around and see it's a PRIUS!!! C'mon jerk! Obvi we are both trying to save the environment, I am just doing a better job than you (pending confirmation caltrain = better than cars). I am not sure whether you are honking out out jealousy or because you only bought that for the tax credit!
