My 15yr old self stretches out his left arm. I am not making a move in a movie theater or trying to catch a football. I am reaching for a spliff. An Alabama green grass hog leg. Wesley Pipes. A left-handed cigarette. And wait just a goddamn minute....I have a ripped flannel shirt on, shaggy hair, and I should be in school. Dinosaur Jr. is blaring and the whiskers on my chin look like catfish barbels . Well, Jesus H......I'm a burnout. Happens to the best of us....but sometimes burnouts get a fire under their ass. Kurt Vile did. J. Mascis did. And even I did. Kurt Vile's new album is mature. Blissful stoner sonic waves carrying you off on a pillow of smoke......one of the best of 2013:
