Ugh

Over October and the early part of November I was running maybe once every week. Not good. Then for about for weeks I stopped completely. Even worse. Worse still since my half marathon I have gained 5 to 10 pounds. Ugh!

Well, on Wednesday December 9th I went out for a short run (2.64 miles). For my mix I kept it slow and stoner. I wanted to have a nice relaxed pace as a warm up to getting back into full training. The day wasn't too cold and I felt really good the rest of the day.

Om- Cremation Gant 1. This band belongs in a temple surrounded by stoned monks. Their records our so meditative and soothing. There is a part with a flute in it on the new record that I have been listening to repeatedly, so sweet.

Across Tundras- ?. Not sure what this song is called but it is off "Heroes of the Fathomless Vallys". Played with these dudes the day before thanksgiving and they stayed at our place for turkeyday. Great dudes, sweet jams, best dogs.

Down- Jail. So I picked the unmetal song on the Down's NOLA. It's hard to get going to a flang drenched acoustic ballad.

Wino- Gods, Frauds, Neocons and Damagogues. Another miss. Noise and GW samples.

Converge- Worms Will Feed. This is more like it. This has a nice mid tempo beat with screech and sung back and forth vocals. This record is sick from start to finish.

Obscura- Universe Momentum. This is not slow. I just started listening to this band so i wanted to run to it. Super technical death metal with some awesome (although very high in the mix) basslines. Again, great record.

Fight Amp- Faith in Man. The fact that this is only half the band from 2007's Hungry for Nothing really shows through. This record is pretty boring and at times sounds flat out amateur, especially in the vocals.
