Been playing these songs for a long time and I decided to sit down and record them. Most were done on the front porch, late Saturday evening, with the wonderful ambient sounds of West Congress and a couple dogs barking in the background.
Townes Van Zandt covers:
Pancho and Lefty
For the Sake of the Song
Waiting Round to Die
Steve Earle:
Elijah's Church

Gun Cabinet Project!
I just completed construction of a standing gun cabinet/rifle rack. I'm quite proud of myself. All that's left are to stain or paint it, but for now, I'm just gonna leave it bright and natural.
Note the two empty rifle slots. I guess I'll just have to buy more guns.

The Search for a 357
Well, it's been a while. Last time I posted I had recently purchased my first handgun, a Taurus Model 80 38sp revolver. A few months later and I am officially a gun nut, having purchased a second handgun (a S&W Sigma 9mm semi-auto) and making range trips shooting 100-200 rounds a week, or as much as I can afford (bullets are fucking expensive.) I've spent the vast majority of my free time looking at, researching, shooting, and just plain thinking about guns. Penile correlations are bound to ensue. So much for music, videogames, and other normal hobbies. I know Kate's sick of hearing about it, so I won't insist she bother reading this.
This is going to be a long post, about nothing but guns.
Go ahead. Hit my jump.

THE BEST SONG EVR: #1. Only Shallow
THE BEST SONG EVR #1: Only Shallow, by My Bloody Valentine
First off, I'm going to cheat a little on this one. My first entry, and already I'm fucking everything up! I'll focus mostly on the first track of Loveless, "Only Shallow", but in reality it's impossible to talk about just one track and not the whole album. Loveless is just one of those cohesive masterpieces that transcends normal rules, although I suppose most fans will still have their favorite track. Mine is "Sometimes", but for the purposes of this article I will try to focus on "Only Shallow".

THE BEST SONG EVR Prologue
Since I have no real goal with this blog and I've just been using it like a circa 1999 LiveJournal, I've decided to start a regular feature. I'm going to write, at length and with excruciating detail, about the best songs ever written. No, not my favorite songs, only THE BEST SONGS EVER. I call this feature "THE BEST SONG EVR"
Songs that impacted my life, songs that I've listened to countless times, songs that once, long ago, got me laid before I found a wonderful woman named Kate who also liked the same songs as me and then we laid each other down and made our own sweet love music.
But this has nothing to do with my own opinions. These are straight-up facts and numbers. Music science.
After about 15 of these are posted, feel free to compile these into what might possibly be the greatest mix-tape ever? Then you, dear readers, can use my work to help you get laid as well.
Coming soon is my first post of THE BEST SONG EVR. Which song, you ask? Well here's a hint: Until then I'm going to sleep like a pillow and dream of being 18 years old again; before 911 happened, before meteors smashed into Jupiter, and before I became a raging alcoholic.
