End of Summer?!

And so it begins. That is the slow descent into fall that starts right around the beginning of August. Yeah yeah, I know summer doesn't end for another month and a half, but everyone knows the second half goes quicker than the first. Although, we're finally starting to get some actual summer weather (80's and 90's) so maybe the summer has just begun? Either way, it's time to get at least one or two summer albums posted before the beach transforms into the frozen tundra (which is probably better for all seeing as one need only touch the sand to become infected with horrible gastrointestinal diseases).

Discovery is a side project formed by the keyboardist from Vampire Weekend and a singer/guitarist from Ra Ra Riot. I don't encourage indie inbreeding, but this project seems to have avoided any serious incest problems. Both Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot have a danceable song or four, but the entire Discovery LP is based on exploring those sugary summer dance hall beats. And for the most part, this record succeeds in making the body move. I suppose it's fitting then, that with the fall fast approaching and the requisite fall dance parties sure to start up once the semester begins again, that this record will have been out long enough to blossom into a full on fall party record. K, back to work!

Actually, I think the only things on Superior Ave are Banks.

So this is my try at a web comic. This is taken (more or less) from a conversation that Tim and I had on our way home from camping. I thought it would make a good comic. My artistic skills aren't so good, but I'm actually kind of proud of the way this turned out. I want to try to post more comics/stuff I make since I'm more or less out of pictures from Europe to post. Also, maybe expect some full album reviews and downloads in the next few weeks. If I actually get around to it, I'll try to put a few of my more favorite albums up.
