A couple years ago, a friend recommended Pearl Jam's album Ten to me. I didn't like it much, and I kind of discarded grunge as a genre. Figured I'd never like it much. Recently a different friend recommended Alice in Chains's new album Black Gives Way to Blue. It's actually pretty good, certainly good enough not to delete. I guess it's mostly grunge, but sort of metal as well. I've got a lot on my plate already, but maybe I should give Ten another listen if it turns out that I actually like grunge.

Oh, and speaking of music, I finally bought Tool's 10,000 Days. I'd heard that the packaging won awards or something, and I do actually buy my favorite albums when I can, so I picked it up for fifteen dollars at Shopko. The case has stereoscopic lenses in it, and a few stereoscopic pictures. It's really trippy. Look it up.
