Recently, I tried to find some great headphones to wear during my upcoming bike tour. After becoming tired of the stock iPod headphones [sound like crap], plus the Griffin EarThumps [which are extremely susceptible to wind noise], I went looking for something that would give me an experience that rivaled my studio monitors at home while also keeping out the road noise.
Some of the best recommendations were for the Shure E2C sound isolating type, so I ordered a pair from Amazon. I’ve always been skeptical of in-ear headphones, especially since they never seem to fit my ears well, fall out, and aren’t comfortable. I’m happy to report that this was not the case with the E2C’s. I give them an A+ for sound quality and general satisfaction all around.

+/- (plus/minus) played at the Earl last night in Atlanta.
I baked brownies for them in recognition of the American food tour.
[No, they were not "special" brownies. Unless you count cinnamon and soymilk.]
They asked me to get on stage during one song and film them rocking.
So, I did. The footage may appear on the upcoming DVD?

I saw The Mountain Goats at the Earl last night with some friends.
It was completely amazing.
The recording sounds great.
And John Darnielle gave me a pat on the back and said “Thanks bud!” when I complimented him after the show, in the voice and manner that only he can do. He also said I should come see him when I move to Raleigh.
What a great night.
Next, +/- (plus/minus) on Tuesday.

Who said that Masters of the Hemisphere was dead?
Not MTV’s PSA department

Nice.
