Deefhoof Vs. Evil- review my friend wrote →
Deerhoof - Deerhoof vs Evil http://deerhoofvsevil.com/ There are times when my mind wanders, gets twisted into knots, or lags itself into a funk, and it quietly whispers, “Kid, you need some music, right now.” And I concur with that observation, which leads me to thinking of what could kick start my mood best: something upbeat and catchy to chisel a smile out of a frown?

I remember the first time I ever heard anything from the band Modest Mouse. I had just moved to Chicago, knew no one, and teetered between hunger and desperation for true connections and whatever experiences offered themselves to me. Luckily, I got hired at Borders downtown pretty fast and found a bunch of other 20-somethings who were after the same things. Many of them had grown up in the...

“We were not born critical of existing society. There was a moment in our lives (or a month, or a year) when certain facts appeared before us, startled us, and then caused us to question beliefs that were strongly fixed in our consciousness-embedded there by years of family prejudices, orthodox schooling, imbibing of newspapers, radio, and television. This would seem to lead to a simple...

Automotan/ambulance dream
Sleeping aids cause dream suppression or difficulty remembering them (I’ve never read an EEG test when someone is taking regular over the counter sleep aids, but it’s probably nowhere near as exciting as when they are in active REM). So when they are stopped abruptly, even for a few nights, they throw the body into hibernation forcing themselves to be known for the sake of the sleepers...
