BLACKWELL'S RECORD OF THE WEEK

BLACKWELL'S RECORD OF THE WEEK

Sleep

The Sciences

scum stats: 1000 on split color green/black with alternate artwork, 10,000 on green vinyl

You know, I don't smoke weed, but if ever a time to start...

Been zoning so hard on this record for the last two weeks. Perfect for the drive home from work. The volume knob in my Scion does not get nearly as loud as it needs to, but I make do. Riffs for days, lyrics that amaze. This album leaves me wanting nothing more.

Also, am I supposed to like limited art more than the standard art? I never can tell. But the gatefold on the standard is unbeatable, worth the price of admission alone.

I could write my, by why really? Post a comment here about your best/funniest/cringiest personal story involving weed and or smoking it and the comment most appreciated by me will win either the limited split color, the green vinyl version, or if it's truly amazing, hell, I'll give away the TEST PRESSING!

Am I out of my mind? You're damn right I am. This week has been banana. You read that correct. Singular. That's how crazy it gets.

One of my friends’ parents went out of town when we were 16 and he decided it was the time for him to smoke weed for the first time. He got stoned and got the munchies. He called a pizza place and asked what their specials were. While the poor pizza shop employee was on the phone with him he went to scratch his balls. He realized it felt pretty good and started mastuerbating. He came back to with the pizza shop employee yelling sir are you there? He hung up the phone in shame and finished his job and called back and ordered pizza.

And one time I got super super stoned and laughed at the monkeys at the zoo for a solid hour or better, it was funny to me

I can’t remember most of my pot stories but I’ll give it a go…
This one time, at band camp…
I kid, I kid.
One time I sent myself a care package with some leafy green contents to my vacation destination hoping it would reach me by the time I made it there, my package didn’t get to me until my last day there and needless to say I was sweating a bit. On the same said trip I visited a head shop and bought a few new smoking devices and mailed them back home to myself. Package arrives without any problems or long wait time. Open the package, everything is good. Pull out my fresh new glass bong, put water in it, load it up, get ready to take a rip, amd somehow the bastard slipped right from my forsaken finger tips. Never even got to christen the ol girl. Heart broken. But as they say on the streets, shit happens. That’s one maybe I can shake the ol memory banks for something more entertaining.

Off topic, Ben if you read this maybe you can point me in the right direction. I’m trying to find anything from Jimmy B and the Rockatones. Their a U.P. band from the late 50’s early 60’s and put out some stuff on Cuca Records. Jimmy B is my grandfather and I haven’t been able to find anything on vinyl but I know it’s out there. If anyone out in the Vault word can help me out it would be appreciated.

Went on a camping to Crested Butte Co, if you haven’t been go, fresh out of Florida. Altitude + cotton mouth was preventing me from some well needed shut eye so I left the tent in the middle of the night. Bad idea☹️. I stumbled around the woods and managed to find the cooler. We only brought beer and liquor so I dined some cooler ice, gross. I topped off the fluids so to say and realized I have no idea where the tent is. I walked into several trees and bushes before I said fuck it I’m sleeping in this chair.

We saw Sleep at All Tomorrow’s Parties in 2010, the highest we’ve been. It yielded our own Sleep song, acapella. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRKcN4JVr2c
