The Purchasing Staff Is Gone... Turn Down the Lights and Turn Up the Menudo

With so much going on within the nooks and crannies of the Hawley company in addition to the Interbike hysteria, today's post, in all honesty, lacks "quality" bicycle content. Nevertheless, the "quality" music-loved-by-the-blog content is through the roof. First of all, even though I'm a day late with this, it appears My Bloody Valentine has extended their one-off reunion at All Tomorrow's Parties to include 7 more North American tour dates. No shows in the Dirty South so a road trip might be in order. Let us all bow down at the altar of rawk. Also of note, Pavement has re-released "Brighten the Corners". Not their best album, but in line with previous re-releases, there are plenty of unreleased and live tracks to stoke a listener's interest. "What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?"... Also of note, is Pitchfork Music's list of "Worst Album Covers of All Time". Lots of mustaches and fuchsia, just like professional cycling. You've been warned.
