Happy New Year, Heaven and Hell

Here's wishing everyone a happy new year!

My new year may not have come with the 'fanfare' and 'partying' most people had or claim to have had, but it did have its charms. A nice cold juice in NC, with mildly intoxicated shouts and cracker bursts kicking in the new year, reading the hilarious CSI Apprentice resume`s with Nash certainly made Jan 1st 2009 for me. Remembering a few:

Q: Tagline for 'Downtown' brand of slippers:
A: 'Slippers that don't slip'

Q: Average distance walked by a NITKian in a day:
A: 'Whatever the distance, total displacement is always zero'


Heaven and Hell

Listened to an album called Mantle by the band Agalloch lately and I've got just one thing to say: Mind blowing!

Clean acoustic guitar and wonderful keyboard notes juxtaposed with heavy distorted riffs and guttural vocals and dark gloomy lyrics bringing together completely opposite elements of music. Heaven and Hell in the same song.

Now playing: 'You were but a Ghost in my Arms' - Agalloch
