Great Weekend


This past weekend, the Judge, devoted fan x, a bunch of friends and I went skiing up in Maine. Despite not having skied in a few years it was an amazing time. The weather was absolutely perfect and the snow was easy to ski on. It really is so nice to get out of the city for a few days, disconnect from technology and just spend time with friends. So necessary. Also, the Super Bowl was pretty fun to watch too. Upon arriving back in civilization I was overjoyed to find a new song from the Junior Boys floated around the information superhighway. I personally adore the Junior Boys. I saw them live in London once and they whipped out some instruments to replace their electronic array. The way they combine intimate half-whispers with pulsating 8-bit electro beats ranging from the club to the headphones is addictive. While not as perfect as In the Morning, the new track Parallel Lines has some great texture and is simply a well constructed pop song. Begone Dull Care, the third album from the Junior Boys is scheduled for release in April. I cannot wait.
