The ever-shifting New England weather is making me feel like a hockey puck in the closing minutes of the third period: pounded. My head is stuffy and throat is sore. All I want to do is sleep. Focusing on writing, reading, and even answering the phone at work feels like a Herculean task.

Beyond the bitching, this weekend I snagged some decent albums over at emusic: Colette & DJ Heather’s House of Om, Dieselboy’s The Human Resource, and John Digweed’s Transitions. Epic length for certain with both House of Om and The Human Resource checking in at around thirty-two tracks apiece but Digweed’s is a seventy-four minute continuous mix encapsulated in a subscription friendly single track. I’m hoping to tackle some for Candied Pop this week, though my review backlog is huge because I’m a dangerous combination of lazy and unfocused.

Pass the tissues, please.
