Cobra Verde, Play With Fire
Copycat Killers (2005)
Just a few things to wrap up the year:
1. Thanks to my mom, I went and saw the Axl Rose Band a.k.a. Guns N' Roses 2.0 a couple of weeks ago. It was super awesome (way, way better than in the video to which I linked, which isn't even that bad--okay, Axl sounds like shit in that video, but he sounded great when I saw him; not vintage Axl, but still great). I'm more or less of an original line up purist, mostly because of my affection for Duff and Slash, but after reading about the guys in the new version of the band, I have to say, it's pretty legit. They're not just a bunch of session guys, they're all rather accomplished journeymen with lengthy stints in respectable bands like the Replacements and Psychedelic Furs/Love Spit Love. But it was really, really good and I had a great seat.
Speaking of Axl Rose, you should check out this website.
2. Totally bummed that Christopher Hitchens died. Love his writing. Love his voice.
3. We're going to Disney World and Harry Potter Land (Universal Studios) next week. I'm excited.
4. Maybe I will do a year end review of favorite albums, but probably I won't. I never finished last year's list, and to be frank, nothing new really knocked my socks off this year. Instead I spent most of my music energy scrounging up older gems. The best discovery I made this year is John Frusciante's The Empyrean (released in 2009). Fucking incredible, phenomenal album, and in my top ten of all time.

That Axl website is hilarious!
Also, I can't prove that you're not a time traveler, but I have my theories.
Have fun at Potterwood!
Stay classy, 2011!
