The new Mon Frere album Blood, Sweat, and Swords came out yesterday. I've only done one listen-through, but so far I think it's even better than their debut EP Real Vampires, which was their only release up until now.
I'm also reading Journey to the West, one of the great classics of Chinese literature. I'm enjoying it, but getting used to the writing style is tricky since the translation that I am reading is apparently the one that tries to stick as literally as possible to the original language and diction. I'm borrowing Jason's copy of volume 1, but I'm getting into it enough that I've ordered the full set for myself.
