put the needle on the record

I bought the biggest bunch of kale yesterday. It's so big it's currently sitting on my desk as it doesn't fit in my fridge. It's obscene. And intimidating.

Productive day off yesterday: Dropped off the needle at the record store, got lucky and bought I'm Not There which is probably something I shouldn't say as it's not technically released until Tuesday but my local record store is awesome, hit up the coffee shop, went to the market, went to Target, finished reading Who Will Run the Frog Hospital, cleaned the fridge upstairs, made Spicy Rice and Kale, went to the parents' house for supper and didn't get home until 10:30pm, went upstairs to admire my cleaning job on the fridge, sat on the floor and listened to I'm Not There which is awfully good excepting the very dull Sufjan track though we did come up with alot of people we wished was on there if we had been the one's to curate the album: The White Stripes, The Roots, Devendra, Beck...Stephen Malkmus was good but his tracks were played pretty safe and I can't believe I'm saying this but Eddie Vedder kicked ass on All Along the Watchtower. And I actually get a little teary-eyed during Tweedy's Simple Twist of Fate. Jeff Tweedy should cover Blood on the Tracks. All of it. The evening ended with some Jameson and some sitting at the top of the stairs reading someone's scribbling on the wall about the history of the universe and some wishing metal was there to talk about it.

hells yes kale. there's gotta be a recipe for vegetarian stampot out there somewhere. dylan is the best songwriter to cover ever. easily. i can't wait to hear this music. the million dollar bashers or whatever they are have a pretty good lineup. i cannot even imagine eddie vedder kicking ass in anyway, but i'd be willing to give this a shot. mmm, jeff doing blood on the tracks could not be anything but divine. i can't wait to get a look at those walls. if thoughtful statements about the history of the universe, if located anywhere in written form, are probably on the wall of a barn somewhere. why not this one?
