Great thing to read. Great thing to hear.

Chemically Imbalanced (espresso-jogged screeds) This is the most intense thing I’ve read in a while. Like, it just overflows with excitement for the trivial, somehow I like that. Plus the coffee orientation is just so wonderfully single minded.
Jucifer the band. I haven’t been as blown away by a band since the first time I saw sonic youth (1995, post-something, lollapalooza, not ‘elite’). You have to read about it, because they are bonkers. It contrasted well with the White Stripes show that I went to on Thursday, since the genders are switched btwn the two groups. According to their site, Jucifer packs 7000 watts of amplification and I’m pretty sure I counted over 70 individual speakers (in over more than ten cabinets I think).
The visit to Napa, CA was awesome, we even extended it by a couple of days. Some suburban (/rural) fun was had. It was great to see some people I hadn’t seen in a long time. I will put pictures up soon.
