Currently Listening To: My Morning Jacket. Song: Off The Record. Album Z.
I think this song is a bit out of my usual taste, but then, I’m not sure I have a usual taste. Though for a while some people said everything I listened to sounded a bit like Radiohead. This I always vehemently denied…despite the fact that I kind of thought so myself.
At any rate, this is a great tune. Has a nice soft groove at the end that kind of reminds me of a few tracks off Air’s, Moon Safari.
In other news, the fire season is OVER. I’m sure that sentence doesn’t read like it sounds in my mind, in my mind ive accentuated the O, to sound like some line from some movie I cant remember. Which sucks for you, cause understanding that would make the reading of all this much more pleasurable.
So yeah, fire season, done, caput, no more, zilch, zero, none. If all works out ill be back on the helicopter next season. This unfortunately has not yet been decided however, as the forest FMO (Forest Management Officer) still has to give the blessing to my bosses, for the hire. Crossing my fingers, but hey I got a job offer on a helicopter in Idaho if I want it. Not that I want to leave the lovely Tahoe National Forest…but its an option that would keep me on the air born side of fire fighting if all else fails. I would miss my family though, if I went to Idaho…but man, the wilderness up there is amazing. In so far as I’ve been told it’s one of the largest wilderness areas left in the states. There’s nothing like getting dropped into the middle of nowhere, with just you and buddy, to knock down a nice little lightning fire.

In closing, I leave you with some recent albums I think are worth a solid listen.
Sigur Ros – Takk (Or any other Sigur album)
Wolf Parade - Apologies To The Queen Mary (Modest Mouse fans will especially enjoy it I think.)
Blur – 13 (I know its not new but I just got it, and I dig it. The first song, Tender, has been on the top of my playlist for awhile.)
