Sorry guys, another music related post.  What can I say, I’m obsessed and am still job hunting, so…yea…New Music Tuesday treated me pretty well yesterday.  I swung by Amoeba Records to pick up Dirty King, the highly anticipated follow-up album from The Cliks.  My former supervisor with the Red Wings introduced me to their music, and I have been following them ever since.  His buddy produced their breakout album, Snakehouse.  Along with that disc, I finally purchased Dark Was The Night – The Red Hot compilation which benefits AIDS research and survivors.  A stellar lineup – The National, Feist, Bon Iver, Ben Gibbard, and Grizzly Bear just to name a few, got together and created some beautiful music all to support one great cause.

Along with those, my friend introduced me to Gregory Alan Isakov’s new record, and I haven’t been able to put it down.  It’s one of those albums that paralyzes you – you can’t do anything besides close your eyes and listen.

Onto today…to keep myself from spending money, I ventured off to Venice Beach and attempted to bike to Redondo.  I made it!  I barely made it back, though.  It was round trip 30 miles.  For what it’s worth, Telekinesis makes for great beach bike riding music.

Hopefully my legs will be able to function tomorrow!
