Fleet

For those of you who don't already know, the Fleet Foxes are the best. So, even if you did already know, check out this video (on their official site) and see if you recognize anything? Fleet Foxes Tour Documentary

We have been hearing, or some of us have, that the Foxes are coming out with a new album soon. Unfortunately I have not seen anything about it or heard anything from it yet... makes me think we won't be getting it before Christmas. I just found an article (from this month) quoting Robin as saying that they are "no where near" being done. Oh well, I'm sure it will be worth waiting for.

The Fat Lady Singeth...

Many things have been said about Dumb Dumb, none more true than that he is a dog of his word. A few weeks ago, after he had shot the final episode of "The Dlog" something happened to him on his way home...



Not to plug my own blog or anything, but I posted a few morsels of mind stimulating, food for thought the other day, so check it out (or don't, I don't really care).

Man from Snowy River (Poem)

Christmas Promises

Peter gave me the "OK" to break this news...
1. A Preview to Nate and Katie's Wedding (more on that soon).
2. An Excuse as to why The Complete Dlog: Every Episode from all 4 Seasons. (Plus secret bonus content including full-length commentary with Peter, Edwardo and Dumb Dumb Dog)isn't done yet
3. Throwing Stars for everyone over the age of 11 (that has a first name ending with a,b,c,f,g,h,i,j,k,m,o,p,q,r,t,u,v,x or z).
4. A Colorado Crum Family Video featuring music by either Muse, Vampire Weekend Bjork (or some other artist).

Prepare Yourself

Okay, so nothing can really prepare you for this...

"Oh Happy Day..."

This year, Christmas comes twice. Or, for those of you who haven't given birthday presents to me (or Matt or Thomas or Stephen).

Proof

Just like "The Jazz Singer" this episode of The Dlog finally has sound...

Two-For-Friday

I am still so mad that Lala is shutting down that I have had a hard time listening to music...

Here's a comparison for you and good luck picking a favorite on this one:

Ben Harper

Bruce Springsteen

Emmylou Harris

New MUSE

I've seen the movie Twilight, and it was OK. I haven't seen New Moon and don't plan to see Eclipse (the two following sequels)... this is also OK with me. If I were to like one thing about this trilogy it would be the music. One of my favorite bands, MUSE, is featured on the soundtracks for all three movies. Eclipse in fact features a track exclusive to the soundtrack: Neutron Star Collision. I like the song and am glad I don't have to sit through a girly vampire movie to hear it.

No 2-4-Tuesday

I don't have the time or brain power to come up with a 2-4-Tuesday today (maybe I'll do something later in the week), but I thought you all might like some music for this overcast spring day. Michal has a habit of listening to country music in the spring and I have kind-of picked that up... though, instead of Kenny Chesney or Diamond Rio I prefer good country:

Lyle Lovett:

Ashley's First Art Post

This is the first picture that I made in art class. I liked that we cut out egg cartons and colored the insides to make them look like Yucca pods.
