New Josh Ritter

So, Josh Ritter's new album, The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter, comes out August 21. Paste gave it a 4.5/5.0. I like what I've heard. It's much "rock"-ier, but without losing his emphasis on lyrics. Here's a song:


Oh, and William will like this little clip from his tour page:
"October 09, 2007, Washington DC, 9:30 Club
Old School Freight Train supports. Show being broadcast live on Npr.org."

Some of the rest of us will prefer:
"October 31, 2007 Birmingham AL, Workplay Theatre
Eric Bachmann (of Crooked Fingers) supports."

While Brian and David might like:
"November 03, 2007 Louisville KY Headliners
Eric Bachmann (of Crooked Fingers) supports."

But, John, sadly, missed his chance:
"September 05, 2007 Galway Ireland Roisin Dubh - SOLD OUT"
"September 08, 2007 Dublin Ireland Tripod - SOLD OUT"

In any case, I just bought tickets. That show is going to be awesome.


In other news, I just started a new job. I'm taking Trip's job at KPS, an architecture firm, and so far, it's good. It's just me an Parks at Wardo's now, but he goes in to work a little before I get off so I haven't seen him much. He did, however, bring an Xbox 360, and I'm going to download Catan for it. Seeing Will, Cheese, and Ryan this weekend was awesome.

I had a little interview with some Red Mountain elders to join the church. One of them told me that God is like Tyler Durden.

"The first rule of Red Mountain is - you do not talk about Red Mountain."

I think they're going to let me in.

Right now I'm eating Ramen noodles and blowing my money on concert tickets. I feel pretty good about life.

Well, God is wild. Tyler Durden is most certainly wild. They both form radical organizations with a wide presence. We also noted that they are plenty different too, when it comes down to it.
