New Witch and a Bit of Whathaveyou

I’m running on limited time today because it’s the start of the Spring semester and I’ve got class later on in Newark. I’m taking more classes this time around than I did in the fall, and from what I can tell, it’s going to be an assload of reading and writing (not much arithmetic, fortunately), but of course this site remains basically tops as far as priorities go.

Nonetheless, it’s a busy day. I’m down at Rutgers New Brunswick (AKA The Patient Mrs.’ Rutgers, as opposed to my mine back north), for the moment, soon to head back up 287 or the Turnpike or whatever. Sharing a vehicle because I don’t yet have mine back from the dealer following the whole key/toilet thing. The campus here is abuzz with youngins, as you’d expect the first week, though with the weather as it is — another balmy January day — the mood is alright. I’m schoolboy nervous for the start of my classes, but that’s no different than ever.

A beautiful Muslim girl wearing a headscarf to my left enjoys an Au Bon Pan sandwich with her boyfriend and a punker chick walks by outside in a notice-me hat and big sunglasses, leaving me to ruminate on whose lifestyle is more restrictive. We all live by one dogma or another.

Not much of a transition, I know, but Witch have a new video for the song “Mutated” to be chewed on. Those hoping to spot J. Mascis, he’s not there. That’s Mario Rubalcaba of Earthless on drums. You might also notice new Witch member Graham Clise of Annihilation Time on guitar. Seems like they’re quickly becoming a Tee Pee Records supergroup. Enjoy the video:
