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 [...]

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 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.

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.

By Tony on January 30, 2012

I missed last week’s new release update because I was on the road all week, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t paying attention. YOU’RE IN GOOD HANDS. Maybe until the end of Q1.

Opposable Toes: Vibram Edition

By Tony on January 23, 2012

For the past several weeks, I’ve been trying to think of a blog post to write that would produce a torrent of ridicule and mockery. How does one troll themselves? Well, I think I’ve figured it out. I mentioned recently that I’ve been doing a little bit of running over the past few months. Like [...]
