Whiskey and Records

Nothing's better on a Friday afternoon than whiskey and records. Currently spinning Dinosaur, Jr.'s Farm and sipping a Jameson manhattan on the rocks. Dino, Jr. just sounds like whiskey to me. It's hard, but also really sweet and nostalgic. And too much of it makes you kinda weepy.

It's pretty amazing, actually, that J and friends can still sound so good after so much bad blood has been formed among them. It's reassuring. They are living proof that it's never too late to cut a really good rock record. I mean, J looks like Gandalf at this point, and Murph could be a grandpa. But they still play it ridiculously loud, like the wall of warmth when you step outside on a hot summer afternoon, or the first sip of Irish whiskey.
