elephant in the corner.

it's that elephant in the corner, that huge mass of win that you are not aware of because it has always been there. well if its not completely obvious at this point I am talking about about a great album I've had for a WHILE that I forgot about until recently when it came up in a random play list.

My Morning Jacket. Its a forgettable band in my opinion honestly, and I can't quite figure out why. They have a few epic tunes that are amazing from an arrangement perspective, but I always seem to just pass them by when choosing music to listen to when I'm relaxing. I have been listening to their album "Z" recently. I wanted to point out a song I like quite a bit off of there, A random piece of amazing trivia, and bring your attention to the album cover, because its just an awesome piece of artwork.

First, I have really enjoyed listening to the song off of their album "Z" entitled "Dondante". It starts in a very calm low key sound, then has this amazing crescendo mid way through, such a big sound. This video (on youtube) is not the music video, but its quite strange when placed to this music and sort of interesting. (i like it.)

Second, an amazing piece of trivia. In 2008 they played a FOUR HOUR long set at Bonnaroo with 35 songs, and with guest appearances from Kirk Hammett (Metallica), and Zach Galifianakis. Crazy and strange, all in one.

Third, check out this album cover! Nothing needs to be said, just stare in amazement.

all in all, it may be forgettable for someone like me, but its absolutely worth a listen for someone like you.

sander.

profound.

do you mean, pro to found?

i rode today for quite a long while, longer than i've really ever ridden at the watershed. I rode with Steve, (the other half of the Banshee Bikes owners club, ha) quite a treat to ride with a guy who's been up and riding there for quite sometime. for those who are not aware, the watershed in frederick is some of the most technical mountain biking that I've ever done, with out a doubt. Not to say I've been riding bikes for ever, but I've been to a couple of cool spots. Nothing, I mean nothing compares to the shed. Its the only place you can go ride some excellent well built, freeride / downhill trails, then go ride some challenging technical XC stuff. Great fun.

Steve and I did about 22 miles there on a loop he had planned out, totally wore me out, but hopefully I'll get a a few more trips under my belt and get in a little better shape.

I'm completely exhausted, and I can't wait to do it again.
