The first third presents a history of the science of weather forecasting and a look at the western US expansion happening in the late 1800's. This section is fantastic.

The second third looks at the history of Galveston and the politics of the young Weather Bureau in the US. This is also interesting.

The final third is a detailed account of the destruction brought by the Hurricane on Galveston. This part was difficult to get through due to the staggering amount of lives lost.

It's Larson's first book of this sort and thanks to the final third, its my least favorite of all of his efforts.

Let it Ride and Easy Plateau are on my marathon playlist. I aim to have Easy Plateau fall right at the 1/2 mark.

Produced by Rick Rubin, I had higher hopes for this album. The cover of the Stones' Street Fighting Man is fantastic.

Kids & Time to Pretend were the soundtrack for early 2008 and my initial welcome to NY.

The book was rich with details about the science behind shooting. The movie made these scenes too glossy. Fun read though.

They're falling apart. Cpt Jenks is in jail, Ms Howard Stern is paralyzed, High Pitch Eric is on the streets, Blue Iris passed away, ...

I wish Glue had a third option: "Thumb-Up but only in the mid-90's when she was bitter, upset, and pissed off." Yeah, it may not get clicked that often, but occasionally it would be very useful.

I went through a big Gram Parsons era after reading a work of fiction that incorporated a brief moment of Parsons life.

will forever by the SkyDome in my mind

Sometimes too experimental but overall a big talent.

Their first album, Hometowns, is listenable from start to finish. Their sophomore effort, Departing, while not as strong is still solid. Up-tempo, catchy songs. I recommend that you check them out.
