Gibbons and my vault package

I took the day off so I could go with Connor to the zoo for his preschool field trip. We touched the sharks, saw the new cheetahs, watched the elephants get fed, and saw a gibbon pee into his hand then lick it. He was just hanging on the netting looking at us, when drip, drip, drip, the pee came out slowly with his hand underneath. He licked it, put the hand back underneath and let out a bit more pee. He must have watched Man vs. Wild or something. You have to drink the pee fresh or bacteria will grow and make it unhealthy.

After the zoo, Connor and I came home where I found the latest Third Man Records vault package waiting for me. This quarter's pack had a black and blue vinyl live Dead Weather show recorded at Third Man, a 45 with two more live songs from the first album, and a DVD of the show. The live show is the Sea of Cowards album played front to back and the 45 is the encore. The packaging is pretty badass and the black and blue vinyl is ridiculously cool. You usually only get those if you are one of the few to see the show in person.

By the way a few songs for you readers to check out:

Taos by Menomena
All Day Daylight and Cold War by the Morning Benders

The new Born Ruffians is pretty good too if you like yelpy lead singers like I know you do.

Cheers,
CG
