We [heart] the Salteens posted in music
Ever since watching them perform “I’m So Happy” on Yo Gabba Gabba, this Wolfe household has been smitten with the Salteens. As it turns out, they are offering 2 free songs a month on their band site. Frickin’ SWEET!

Swarm theory of Wilco posted in music, nature, personal, photes
As previously mentioned, I recieved Wilco’s latest album “Sky Blue Sky” as a Father’s Day gift. If you haven’t heard it yet, you must. It’s an excellent listen. It’s the kind of album that makes me want to get in the car and drive to nowhere in particular.
At any rate… we got our new Nat Geo yesterday and to my surprise, the cover art from “Sky Blue Sky” turns out to be a Nat Geo photo. NG has an article on page 126 called ‘Swarm Theory’ that discusses how ants, bees and birds live in complex numbers with simple organization. The second photo in the spread is a 2-pager illustrating a flock of starlings avoiding a peregrine falcon. I thought it was a pretty good album cover, but it turns out to be a fantastic photograph.
I wonder who sold it to whom? Did the photograph retain the rights to sell it to both Nat Geo and Wilco? It doesn’t really matter I suppose. It’s just a really neat image.

Cheap vinyl. posted in music, thrifting
One of the local thrift stores had a 50% sale today. And since the wife still hasn’t gone into full labor, we drove on down to see what they had to offer. I never made it past the shopping cart full of records by the door.
I was able to pick up 7 records for under $2. And such finds: Steely Dan’s “Aja” and “Katy Lied,” The Fabulous Thunderbirds’ “Butt Rockin’,” Mott the Hoople’s “Live” and “Rock and Roll Queen,” some random-ass compilation with fantastic cover art, and a version of Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker.”
