Earlier this week I left Salt Lake City again and headed back to Cleveland to stay with my girlfriend who has one more semester of school left here. This is my second trip to the now Lebronless Cleveland. I am rather impartial to the city, but I must say there are some good eats here. The first thing we did upon my arrival is head directly from the airport to Happy Dog. Damn good stuff.

Last night we went to see Delorean and Glasser play at The Grog Shop. The crowd was disappointingly sparse, but the show was as good as I had hoped it would be.

Later this month Yaya and I will be headed to Peru for a couple weeks. It will be my first time to South America and I am really excited for the food, Machu Picchu and a little jaunt in the Amazon for a few days. Just crossing my fingers I don’t get Malaria or bitten by one of these.

I have really been enjoying the music of Washed Out lately. It reminds me a lot of Neon Indian but a bit less kitchy, and a little more sentimental. Makes me want to go lay on a beach somewhere.

It’s that time of the year when everyone compiles their lists of the best and worsts of the year, and it being the end of the decade Ghostly International has compiled their favorite albums of the last ten years. I myself agree with at least 75 percent of their selections, and there are some I haven’t heard and will now check out.

As I have in the past I will try to compile my own list of best and worsts for this year. Until then I will be posting other’s lists that I respect and agree with. Stay tuned.
