TOO MUCH POST!!!

Am home too much.
Am on internet too much.
Am no longer using myspace as much.
Yay.

Still loving the weather. Went for a bike ride with Hugo earlier to enjoy and take advantage of the rare cold and sat down with Allison and Pete at Tijuana flats after spotting each other while passing by on our bikes. I came to realize their salsa is delicious and I should eat there more often. Yum.

Currently listening to whatever is playing on WPRK, seeing as the whole family can usually enjoy that.

Once again back to the weather, this type brings a certain band to mind: Agalloch. Definitely not crust, punk, or anything really along those lines. The best description I can really give is ambient blackened folk metal. Earthy music. I got into them a few years ago back when my musical taste revolved mostly between the two polar opposites of black metal and Leftover Crack-ish punk. It's soft, beautiful music with a very dark, wintery feel to it. Vocals wise, they usually stick to the raspy black metal growls but manage to make it work without being cheesy or even bringing to mind the through-the-woods escapades of Immortal or the like. Sometimes they opt for clean singing, which is also pretty cool. Not much distortion either - lots of acoustics and soft instrumentals. Either way, they're a great band to check out and are highly recommended even if you're not into the whole "I'm metal and grim let's hail Satan" scene. CHECK IT!!!!!!
