Two of the most significant CDs in the history of all music came out today.

First, the nearly decade-in-the-making debut album from POPERRATIC. Not sure where you can buy the hard copy — some do exist, I’m told — but itunes has the download.

(UPDATE: Here’s a list of all the stores in and near L.A. that [...]

I introduce my Vermont-ian uncle Tim and aunt Merle to the joys of severed cephalopod tentacles at an excellent Huntington Beach sushi bar.

The tentacle is real, but we didn’t eat it — the sushi chef just thought it’d be cool to have it in the photo.
