dramamine- modest mouse

Travelling swallowing Dramamine
Feeling spaced breathing out listerine

I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell ya

And that you'd killed the better part of me

If you could just milk it for everything

I've said what I'd said and you know what I mean

But I still can't focus on anything
We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves

Traveling swallowing dramamine

Look at your face like you're killed in a dream

And you think you've figured out everything

I think I know my geography pretty damn well

You say what you need so you'll get more

If you could just milk it for everything

I've said what I said and you know what I mean

But I can't still focus on anything

I'm wierd, you're wierd. Let's be Mates!! (music friday)

The current is freaking amazing! even you guys who don't live in minnesota can still check it out.
it's a public radio station that plays an eclectic mix of new and old music that will blow your mind. check it out live streaming at www.thecurrent.org
some of the awesome bands i have discovered on the current ->

the decemberists newest album;
The Hazards of Love -- i still havent
listened to Her Majesty --
the title track is amazing!
smooth.




don't be fooled by the name.
i haven't heard a single swear
word in any of their songs.
Here's to The Heartless Bastards


P.O.S. awesome awesome local hip hop artist in the Twin Cities.
first song i was introduced to was... "Savion Glover" off of his album Never Better







and last but certainly not least is my new favorite: Lady Sovereign

she's a cute and funky british hip-hop artist. her beats give a whole new meaning to the general perception of hip hop. they make you feel lose and free to be yourself.
Check out Love me or Hate Me on youtube and my favorite isn't even on itunes yet (the current also gets access to alot of music before it is actually released) it's called Let's Be Mates.
and just to add to her cred she's had recording sessions with the beastie boys, and pharell.
her voice rocks and so do her thoughts about her career: "I'm not your average rapper. I've always felt that I'm different to everyone else and I never approach things the way everyone else does. It's without trying. I don't understand it."

What's happening hot stuff?


patrol chutes (caleb should remember these)



the tree that beat
up caleb. haha.



favorite tree run! this was the bomb.com






JACKSON HOLE!
the night before we were gonna go hit it up the mountain roads were so bad they almost closed them - black ice, blowing wind, and all that fun stuff - so we stayed in this little town it was pretty cool. We got to Jackson a little later in the day so the line for the new tram was pretty long and we took a few runs off of the gondola first. After the first run i realized that after i waxed my board i had put the bindings on backwards and it took me a while to get them back on.
After we rode the tram which was quite rad, we chilled in this really cool board shop called the Hole in the Wall. Where I purchased a pair of ak pants and mom got an Arc'teryx jacket. The dudes were really cool and they sold them to us for 40% off. SAWEET!




GRAND TARGHEE!!!

after jackson we headed to our hotel in targhee which was right on the ground level so we could climb in through the window.
after getting to targhee we just rode and rode some more.

P.S. travel survival video; Sixteen Candles (classic romcom)
