RSSHugh Jass, Dear
System of a Down and Nelly both released their new albums today, so after work I decided I’d go pick them up. It’s a rainy night, and because everyone was driving like grandma on downers, I decided to cut through the blue hills to reduce the number of chances for people to slam into the back of my car, as they so love to do.
Despite my detour, I was rolling along behind Sir Brakes-A-Lot, lazily contemplating whether it’s “cheaper” to get 2 CDs for $8.99 each at Circuit City or to get the CD’s for $9.99 each at BestBuy where I have an unused gift card to burn.
Sir Brakes-A-Lot makes a right, I make a left, and it’s a clear shot back to the semi-clogged main road. I clear 4th gear and out of MOTHERFUCKING NOWHERE, a DEER runs in front of my car. I may be a city kid, but it’s not like I haven’t seen a deer before. I’ve seen like two million in Maine and like half a million in Taxachusetts. That’s not to mention the elk, deer, and deer-like animals that I’ve witnessed grazing lazily on the roadsides of Washington state.
What I have NOT seen, is one bombing in front of my car at top speed at dusk. Maybe I have seen one gracefully crossing up the road or something, but not five feet from my hood at 35 MPH. That, my friends, is a first. After it made it into the woods and my brain stopped yelling “FUUUUUUUUUUCK!”, all I could think was “Thank you, Brembo,” and then, “Man, that thing had a huge ass.”
I would officially like to thank Brembo and the guy who designed the Lancer Evolution for not giving me the opportunity to write a more exciting post or test the WI-FI capabilities at South Shore Hospital.
(As a side note, which do you think? Is it “cheaper” to buy 3 CD’s at $8.99 ($26.97) at CircuitCity, or to buy 2 CDs at $9.99 and one at $11.99 ($31.97) at BestBuy where you have a $25 gift card to burn?)

ho-ly crap. deers can mess up a car, you’re lucky your wing-ding mobile has good brakes. as for your dilemma…use the damn gift card. it’s free money. so, how’s the new nelly? by the way, i discovered today that the “sanford and son” theme song has some serious cowbell. you play the air guitar, i play the air cowbell. dink dink.

care less about Nelly…how’s SotD? And having a deer hoof actually go through your side window is also quite damn scary–even worse when it then gets said hoof free and tramples across the hood of your car. I’ll take hitting a deer to a moose any day though–those meese are HUGE mofos!

I don’t like to give opinions before I’ve listened to an album 3 times, but my first impressions:
The Nelly album seems a bit immature. It’s got some nice grooves, but it seems to be lacking somewhere that I can’t put my finger on. We’ll see how I feel in a couple more listens.
The SOAD album is sort of a blur. I really liked their first two albums, but Mezmerize sort of seems like they threw a bunch of outtakes on a disc. It’s not leaving much of an impression at this point, but we’ll see.
