You Blame Me and I’ll Blame You, and We’re Both Right

Monday. I'm trying to hang in there today at work, but I have to be honest with you all, it is kind of hard. I received a message yesterday letting me know that my grandmother passed away. She had been dealing with some major health issues for some time now, so this was not unexpected, although it still is hard nonetheless. I won't delve into too many details or go into any emotional outpourings, but I will apologize in advance for any terseness or lack of levity in this and the next few posts. Also, I will be traveling to Ohio for her funeral this week, so just as a head's up there most likely will not be any posts on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

I listened to Sharpen Your Teeth by Ugly Casanova this morning on the way to work. Ugly Casanova is the side project of Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock. I briefly touched on how an Ugly Casanova song was my first introduction to my love of Modest Mouse here. I still consider Cat Faces one of my favorite songs. I really like Ugly Casanova, however, despite the reverse being true for me, I would recommend listening to some Modest Mouse first if you are unfamiliar with both. If you are already a fan of MM, then by all means rush out and get this album. It is worth it for Cat Faces and Hotcha Girls alone.
