Personal best -- thanks, Hip Tanaka!

Today, after work, I cued up "Le Jihad" on my not-an-iPod for the bike ride home. For at least three years now, I've been riding my bike to work an average of about 2 times a week, so long as the weather's nice. Because I am a geek, I keep a database of stats from each of my rides, so I know that my absolute fastest ride home ever happened this June, when I averaged 17.32mph. Today, I blew that away: 18.28mph! I believe I have the power of Leppardstyle to thank (and maybe the stiff wind at my back).

That's brilliant. I'd wager that you could add a couple more tenths listening to "sky < sea". There needs to be a Hip Tanaka discography on the internets. MC, forward me the details and I'll oblige. Wait... Polish (that's right, rhymes with pole) Le Jihad sky < sea

I don't know what to say... I think That Girl From Jaws 2 would be flattered. That was his favorite outta the bunch.

I was proud that they asked me to do the cover art for Le Jihad. What a crazy search that was through my photos and homemade postcards...and the photoshoot was a riot in the Malbert dining room.

Don't Forget The Antarctica demos and The WBCN appearance (I guess neither are officially released recordings, but, hey, we're completists here - what can I say)
