I guess I kind of forgot that posting to my blog isn’t a major literary event, and maybe something is better than nothing at all. It’s been rather too quiet lately here at the Freez. To my credit, I did finally improvise a rudimentary, homemade masthead (see above), which debuts today.
So, in lieu of the fabulous pieces of writing the FroztFreez has remained virtually unknown for, I’m passing along a little summertime musical treat for everyone. It sounds like ice cream trucks and carnival rides. (I actually heard an ice cream truck driving through Vivian Park today and it made me want to listen to this song some more.) It’s a great jam called “Walkabout,” a new collaboration between Atlas Sound (the solo project of Bradford Cox, lead singer for Deerhunter) and Noah Lennox (a.k.a. Panda Bear, a member of Animal Collective). I predict it will make you smile and maybe bob your head. I also predict it will eventually be used to sell Volkswagens and maybe mutual funds. Since I like to say that Animal Collective are my favorite band, and I know that secretly Deerhunter are probably really my favorite band, it was certainly nice of these two guys from my two favorite bands to get together and make this track. Just press play to hear it, and right click on the link below if you want to download the free track to have for yourself.

I like the look of the blog Josh, very impressive!
Thanks, Buff! Yours is looking pretty good, too. Did you do that new “Happy Kid” header? (Maybe it’s not new, I often read the blogs from RSS feeds so I hadn’t looked at your actual page for a long time until yesterday.)
