It's about me, Dan Gayle, and my dog. Except, there is no dog.

Just thought I’d share this photo with you. I took it on my vacation a while back. Enjoy.

Radiohead In Rainbows Disk 2

In Rainbows Disk 2 Album Cover

When Radiohead released In Rainbows, I was all over it. So the fact that In Rainbows Disk 2 has been available at Radiohead’s w.a.s.t.e. store for seemingly a while makes me both happy and depressed. (Arguably a suitable response to anything Radiohead, I suppose.)

So, I downloaded it and I’m jammin’ out on it as I write this. I’ve made it to “Down Is The new Up”, and so far IT ROCKS. So far it doesn’t seem like castoffs, like the Amnesiac B-Sides.

Go download it now, you fools! It’s only like $7 direct download.

EDIT
Ok, I’m at “Go Slowly” now, as I uploaded the album cover. Still awesome!

The movie 9

I watched it. It was… interesting. It was about how technology will destroy the world, through man’s greed, etc. Man vs. Machine, ALA Terminator or something. It was very bleak, and very dark. (It’s surprising how many characters died off in the movie.)

What gets me is that the “evil machines” are giant allegory about the “oil eating machine” of our current society, a fact that doesn’t make itself ever overtly known. They never once mention it, but the main bad guy’s place, an evil robot with an advanced brain that allows it to create new evil robots, is a giant multi-cylinder engine.

And all around this engine are oil rigs, pumping oil, and oil on the ground everywhere.

My oh my. How clever.

It was clever, and well animated, and dark, but nothing to write home about.

Grizzly Bear — An awesome band

I don’t know if anyone has ever heard of the band Grizzly Bear, but they’re awesome.

I don’t know much about them, but they sound like a combination of The Soft Machine, America, and the Shins.

(I know, right? Interesting combo, for those who know all of those bands.)

I just bought their Veckatimest album, and it’s really good. You should check it out.
