So I just stumbled upon the following information: Bob Nastonovich of Pavement likely lives within a few miles of me. He DJs at venues here in town every now and then and even did a session with fellow Des Moinian Marc Hogan who writes for Spin and Pitchfork on NYE at Vaudeville Mews. Bob's Best of 2013 list on Matador's site was almost exclusively local bands and included this music video which is pretty awesome.

Anyway, I look forward to possibly running into Bob around town and saying something awkward. If nothing else I'll go to the horse track outside of town where he works and tell him the story of my reasoning behind walking to Winco.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I'm not going to lie, I don't really care too much for it. That doesn't mean I don't like love. Love is great. It's gets me through my days. I'm a lucky guy as far as love goes. So in honor of love, not Valentine's Day I'm making a playlist of my favorite love songs that in my opinion do not suck. Push play and make a little love.
Number of times I said love in this post = 7

Here are my top ten most listened to artists of the week. Yes Limp Bizkit is on there. It's up for interpretation as to why it would have made the list. Maybe I was listening to it as a joke . . . maybe not.
