Solid track from a solid band. I always know what to expect when I listen to a Small Black song and for whatever reason - that's very comforting to me. Which is the exact opposite feeling of not having any A/C in your 9th floor apartment, because that's currently what I'm experiencing and.. its too hot to write a joke about it.

I'm back. It's not easy returning to a balmy 100 degree Brooklyn and an apartment with broken A/C after a week at the beach. We must go back (in my best Jack from Lost impersonation). I've always had trouble with impersonations, no matter what language or origin I'm trying to imitate I pretty much 90% of the time sound like a drunk American person pretending to be a drunk British person.

When the internet gives you lemons, you throw those lemons back in it's face and say fuck your nasty ass lemons, I'll use my own tastier lemons. So here is a track from Phantom Planet's 2003 album The Guest... and yes that's Jason Schwartzman on drums. But get over it, they are amazing besides that fact that Jason is amazing. So I'll be behind the wheel over here at Left As Rain Headquarters for the next week. So buckle up.

Beck? Relevant again? While a huge departure from the Beck we're all accustomed to I have to say this new direction is rock solid. I remember the first time I saw Beck perform - It was 1997, I was at the HFStival waiting for the Prodigy to come on and fire start. Beck comes on and just cries his little weird heart out during his set, as a 14 year old stoned boy I just had so many questions. Now that I'm a grown 30 year old stoned adult... I still have so many questions.
