Beyond the beyond

I am listening to the new Dinosaur Jr album. The band is my all time favourite and was a reason why I picked up the guitar in the first place. I wasn't overly enthusiasted about their re-union but having listened the new album, Beyond, a few times through I got to say it kicks some major ass. The songs are top notch, playing is tight and loose (kind of a trademark) and the sound...what can I say, I love it! J Mascis' latest release was a collection of chanty song written in honour of Amma and that wasn't bad either. But this new stuff really gave me back my faith for rock and roll music. With all the crap they call music these days it's just so refreshing to hear soul shining through the chords of a guitar. Truly a wonder of all wonders, if any.

My call with Ken Wilber will take place this evening. Too cool! I spent the best part of yesterday evening at a school mate's housewarming party trying to convey the excellence of Integral thinking to some friends who'd never heard of it before. Not sure if I did a good job. At least they didn't throw me out, which is always a good sign ;)

Here's the video for Been There All the Time from Dinosaur Jr's new album - out in two days!
