| The Fj-60 in this color way (possibly my favorite) and with steel wheels is perfection. |

I scanned these from the Toyota Factory Service Manual with the intent that our pediatric patients would have fun coloring some vintage Japanese SUV. Now, you can do the same. What color will your FJ-62 be?

The Ultimate Grocery Getter: Cadillac CTS-V Wagon

I wouldn't call myself a modern Cadillac guy, but they've snared me with the ridiculously fast CTS-V. I've always been a fan of wagons. My last car was a Subaru Legacy GT wagon, and I miss her dearly. I currently have a Toyota FJ-62, and while it's clearly a truck in wagon form, it's got those boxy lines that I love. Now, I adore the Land Cruiser, but it was not made for speed. I've made that painfully clear to all those who have been behind me up a hill. The CTS-V, on the other hand, produces a sub 4-second 0-60 time... off the showroom floor. It ain't green; it loves gas, but this mean machine is a supercar, wait, no... a superwagon. It ain't exactly cheap, but it'll blow away the competition for a helluva lot less than you might expect. Just ask the owner of any Ferrari California:
I'm really quite stoked on my good friend's recent acquisition. I've wanted to ride the Channel Islands Merrick Single Fin (MSF) for some time now. Looks like I'll eventually get the chance. I must say it looks great with the Christenson skull logo'd fin.
Speaking of skulls... last weekend I was working at a Richmond area doctor's office. In the waiting room, they had hung framed anatomy drawings. Each of the various anatomical illustrations were printed on dictionary pages. I'm not sure if this is something custom or that you could pick up at CB2, but I thought it was pretty cool:

Here's a New Year's gift from the folks at Stones Throw. The album blends chillwave, acoustic elements, psychedelia and downtempo. I particulary liked the track, "Flesh of Morning." I'll be looking for more from Jonti from now on. Thanks Stones Throw.
From the folks at the label:
Last summer, while prepping his debut album Twirligig, Jonti put together the "Sine & Moon Mix" for the Stones Throw Podcast, a collection of earlier songs he'd recorded on 4-track. In the months since the mixtape, he's been hit up with requests for the individual tracks, and so Sine & Moon (The Album) came about.
“People liked the songs on the Sine And Moon podcast, so I wanted to get them out for free. So I turned it into an album with extra's, new mixes and original Jeff Jank Artwork. I really love these songs and I hope you enjoy!” - Jonti

| $880 NEW is a pretty good deal for this Slingerland shaped shop board. Available at the one, the only: Surfy Surfy. |
Intense? I've been listening to Montreal's post-punk electro band, Duchess Says. They just came out with a new album, and I'm digging it. The above video is from 3 years ago. Yes, it's intense.

The Psychedelic (Jazz) Artwork of Dick Luppi

On the way home from work the other day, I got to thinking about what my answer would be if I were asked what was my all-time favorite album cover. The first one that popped into my head was Chick Corea's Tones for Joan's Bones on Vortex. I bought this album purely on aesthetic from the Princeton Record Exchange years ago. It was and is still sealed. At the time, I wasn't a big Corea fan, but have since come around some, and listen to his Innerspace album on occasion. Innerspace also happens to have the all of the "Tones..." tracks on it. Allmusic.com likes the album quite a bit.
So when I got home, I pulled out the Lp along with Dave Pikes Doors of Perception which is also on Vortex, an Atlantic subsidiary. Doors is a rather interesting album, and literally could be labeled as jazz psychedelia with fuzzed out vibraphones, echo chambers and piped-in recordings. Allmusic also gives it a pretty strong review. Check out an audio sample of the title track below. I had pulled Pike's Lp along with Corea's because I was certain that the artwork was created by the same artist, and that turned out to be true. The illustration credit is given to Dick Luppi on both albums, and Roy Ayers' Virgo Vibes (also pictured above). All three albums were under the art direction of Atlantic's go-to guy, Haig Adishian.
