This was going to be an outing to the zoo for the four of us, but the Milkmaid's sick and my feet are killing me after running around for a busy 12-hour shift. Still, I expect Skim to talk us into going.
Titus Andronicus – Richard II or Extraordinary Popular Dimension
Their album The Monitor, after a year to reflect, is without question my favorite disc from 2010.

The records have been broken (or, at least they have according to my experiences): there were people lined up for today's midnight opening when I got to my Wednesday opening shift. Friggin' loony, these people.
