Alas!

Fear not, Infidels! I have returned from underneath my bed and let me tell you, I feel fantastic. In the midst of getting a new job, leaving my tiny village of Snowmass, CO (94.9% White, 0.44% Black...no joke), moving to Los Angeles, the death of my Macbook (RIP), and dog-sitting for a Korean golden retriever named Frankie (pronounced "Flanky"), I have had no time to do anything but run around like a monkey! Ha! Tia has done a spectacular job at feeding the blog fire during my disappearance, even though she's taken ill with a serious flesh-eating virus. What a woman! Don't worry, she'll be fine.

But more importantly, the music! I've stumbled across some new Ra Ra Riot off of their forthcoming album, The Orchard, which will be released in late August. Production help was provided by Chris Walla, lead singer of Death Cab.
