In my continuing scramble to catch up with great albums from this year, I've recently come across The Cave Singers, a band out of Seattle. Apparently one of the Cave Singers is from Pretty Girls Make Graves, which is pretty cool. Anywho, I started spinning their latest album, Welcome Joy, and was struck by how much they do with very little. The opening track, "Summer Windows," is an...

In preparation he created a sign of his band's name and placed it in the trunk of his car. The sign stayed in his car for a few months whilst he waited for the Street View cars to arrive....

A quick hit since its my day/night to relax with an unclear beverage (or eight), sing 80s hair band songs, play some low limit donkey MTTs while fighting off the temptation of hitting up the cash games to make the money back.
