One Year Later: Merrell Barefoot Bare Access

By Tony on April 22, 2013

Okay, a couple weeks shy of a full year later. Whatever. After their auspicious beginning, I felt compelled to swing by and provide an update on the state of the Merrell Barefoot Bare Access (MBBA) running shoes I bought in May, 2012.

2012: In Numbers

By Tony on December 31, 2012

For whatever reason, I’ve been feeling a little, I don’t know, sentimental, about the new year, so I thought I’d take a minute and jot down some of 2012′s more significant personal moments if only to fabricate some closure for myself before heading into the new year. The previous sentence contains five commas, which is probably three or four too many. It is literally a non-stop party around here.

New Shoes: Merrell Barefoot Bare Access

By Tony on May 11, 2012

Got some new kicks this week. I put about 250 miles into a pair of Nike Free Run+ (version 1). I wanted to get 300 miles out of them, but they started to wear a blister on my left foot after even moderate workouts. Which means get out of my life.

RIP New Releases January 11 – February 28, 2012

By Tony on April 17, 2012

Thought I would go ahead and formally close this one out to provide some closure for you. You, of course, meaning Dave. I stopped doing these new release posts because I realized, at no point in this brief project, did I actually enjoy it. Finding the music was a chore, writing the posts was a [...]

Sleep Training: Conclusion

By Tony on February 29, 2012

I realized a couple days ago that I never bothered to close out the sleep-training thread with any sort of conclusion. Now then … IN CONCLUSION, we are finished. For now. When I say we are finished, I mean we are finished “training” Mattias because now one of us puts him in his bed, kisses [...]

New Releases – February 28, 2012

By Tony on February 29, 2012

This stupid weekly release project is SO MUCH easier when there is something to look forward to. This week I’m going to speak very briefly about Painted from Narrows and Fountains Left to Wake by Stonerider.

New Releases – February 21, 2012

By Tony on February 21, 2012

As I noted late last year, I was way late to come across the The Menzingers. They released an album in 2010 called Chamberlain Waits that I found to be extremely enjoyable. Well, lucky for me to have discovered them so late, because they’re already back with a new record.

New Releases – February 14, 2012

By Tony on February 20, 2012

This week is about one release: The self-titled debut LP from Classics of Love.

New Releases – February 7, 2012

By Tony on February 13, 2012

I will have you know I listened to 16 new releases this week. I won’t go so far as to say they were all terrible–Crusades, Tall Ships, and A Place To Bury Strangers all showed promise–but, as with the past few weeks, it’s been thin out there. There was, however, one highlight: Dr. Dog.

New Releases – January 31, 2012

By Tony on February 3, 2012

Keeping up with this project, albeit barely. I’ve discovered that an ounce of preparation is going to be a major key to success. So I’ll start that next week. Or the week after.
