Back from vacation

Had a few days off and headed to Oak Island, North Carolina.

Took a 4 mile walk on the beach and went to a couple book stores.

Spent the rest of the time chilling and catching up on some reading.

Right now I'm working on Brian Walsby's book, "Manchild: A Celebration Of Twenty Years Of Doodles."

If you don't know Brian Walsby's work and you're a fan of punk rock, satire and MAD magazine, you don't know what you're missing. Check it out here.

I'm digging "Feathers," the latest record by Dead Meadow.

It's got a definite psychedelic feel, but isn't too over the top. It sounds great with headphones and at times, reminds me of MBV's "Loveless."

I'm sure this record would sound even better if you were high or tripping.

But that goes for most music.
