I'll go at sunset...the sky will be red, orange and purple. It is a truly surreal experience. The desert is magical.
Even though it hasn't happened yet, you're already too late. The Jaegler will beat you to it.
Little does the Jeagler know... I'm at his mom's house right smoking a cig... if you know what I mean.

What did you buy? Post a pic. I'm still in need cuz I wasn't gonna buy that jenky shit Target sells. Looks nice but is cheap and sucks... sorta like Jeaglers mom I guess. : )
A couple buddies and I are going to T. Hopefully we can hold off and not listen to it in the car and wait the 10 mins to get back home.
At what time does T open on Sundays?

The gauntlet has been thrown down, sir.
Jaegler?
Damn straight! Won't be Target, but when I leave the record store it will be liberated from its casing and inserted into the car stereo.
Once the sun started to creep close to the horizon I got in the car and headed up into the Hollywood hills. For those who aren't familiar with the area, Mulholland runs the stretch of the mountains from East to West, along the very top almost the entire time. At the right spots you can see the lights of both cities far below (L.A. and San Fernando Valley) spanning out nearly forever. It's truly beautiful, and a surprisingly nature-filled drive.
It was perfect moment of solitude and celebration, singing along with words I didn't know, reveling in the ability to play it as loud as I want and make all the stupid exciting faces I undoubtedly make without anyone seeing me. The album's sounds, along with my own sense of near-bursting joy over the birth of my daughter, Riley Pearl (born just a few days earlier), took me just where I hoped it would.
I got lost in my excitement and wound up on Sunset blvd, which seemed more cancerous and artificial than ever before with these heartsongs filling my head. I turned back and headed up the hill, retracing my path and getting to the summit just in time to catch the last sliver of sun as it slipped behind the Malibu mountains in the distance.
Having imagined doing this very thing since I first moved up to L.A. back at the end of 2007, I can confidently say that I'll never forget that drive.
curious as to where you started on mulholland?
And if anyone's tempted to admonish me for downloading, of course I'm buying the record when it hits stores... although I'll probably have to wait until Monday because I'll be in Vegas for work until then.
Then probably a night-time walk that night to listen to it again, uninterrupted, to truly enjoy it.
yes, old chef guys like wine....
a red wine buzz is very opiate-like.......
until then........
no need to apologize for enjoying the juice. totally dig the eternally mellow yet embracing and emotional red wine buzz. i'll surely be sipping and enjoying the new tunes on headphones, all the world melted away.....can't fuckin wait.
Whoever caused you to "catch shit" for enjoying some wine with the album can eat a bag of snotty pretentious dicks. Not only has Ed drank more wine WHILE PERFORMING THESE SONGS than most of us have in our entire lives, but that kind of thinking is the very reason I omitted the fact that I had a joint rolled for my first listen - I have no tolerance for random internet strangers preaching to me about my way of enjoying music. Drink up, sir.
