The Chondola is the name of the new 6 person chairlift and gondola line at Sunday River. What a vaguely odd and suggestive name, huh? I just got back from a fun weekend skiing so I apologize for the late post today. We'll be back to regular posting tomorrow.
On our drive up to Maine on Friday, devoted fan X and I listened to the latest album from The Phantom Band, Checkmate Savage, numerous times and it did not disappoint. After finding it highly recommended on Cokemachineglow, I knew that it would be worth at least one listen, but what I found was a an album of complete immersion. From the Scottish accents to the body-shaking bass rhythms to the agile guitars, The Phantom Band is the real deal. If you are in a bad mood they will snap you out of it. If you want an album to contemplate, Checkmate Savage will make you think. If you just want to plain rock out to some sick bass lines, you got it right here. Checkmate Savage is the best epic rock album I have heard in a while, but with enough tricks and subtle weirdness to make it truly engrossing. Enjoy the music and the great weather today.
