Snow? In October?!
16 years ago
Yes, that's right, I'd estimate an inch and a half of snowfall, approaching Eau Claire's 1909 record of 1.7 inches this early in the year. It's barely autumn, and the leaves haven't even fallen off the trees yet! Ah well, it'll all melt by tomorrow.
In other news, Julian Casablancas's solo album Phrazes for the Young is to be released next week. I'm psyched, and to go with it the Strokes have been recording all summer for their new album (whenever it's supposed to be released).
Also, I rediscovered Do Make Say Think, a band from which I downloaded two albums but to which never got around to listening. They're quite excellent, a post-rock group from Canada with strong jazz influences. They actually released an album just three days ago, and I'm hoping to catch them on tour (no scheduled dates in Wisconsin? fuuuuuuuuu).
That's all that's new in the week since I've posted here, other than that I watched two and a half seasons of House, MD. Great show so far, good enough for me to waste most of my time on (and I usually make a point of not wasting away in front of a television).
