For Down On The Upside, the right thing is neither simplistic rock jargon not high-tech anger manifested through music.  The self-produced 16-song disc is even better, though slightly less aggro, than the powerful Grammy-winning Superunknown.  The new album travels lyrical topics that range from childhood reflections to Applebite, brought in by drummer Matt Cameron and recorded and titled before Chris even had lyrics.  "I basically just ignored the title,“ he recalls. “Switch Opens was finished without lyrics or vocals, and I actually wrote around that title as well as the finished song. Rhinosaur was finished without vocals or lyrics, and there was no title for that either.”

The album title isn’t a song - and it was one of the more difficult aspects of completing the record, the band’s fifth full album in it’s 10 year history. Cornell explains, “I brought it up at some point because the song that the title came from is Dusty.  My title for it was Down On The Upside, but Ben wrote the music and he called it Dusty.  So since we don’t really like having song titles being the title of the record because it brings this weird undue focus to the song, I thought it would be cool to call it Down On The Upside.” (x)

ANTILLES PINKTOE (adult) (Avicularia versicolor)  - ©petcenter.info

Note: Thanks to @jadeneternal it came to my attention that the previous post of the cobalt blue tarantula was mis-identified, it was actually a juvenile version of this spider. I was going to just repost the same photo but the adult is beautiful as well. I’ll post the juvenile in a sec. If you see something misidentifed, PLEASE let me know. Thanks!

The Antilles pinktoe tarantula, also known as the Martinique Red Tree Spider or the Martinique Pinktoe, is native to Guadeloupe and Martinique in the Caribbean Sea, but is a popular spider pet due to its docile character and unique coloration.

Antilles pinktoe tarantulas are arboreal (tree-dwelling). They spin elaborate funnel webs in which they spend most of their time. In captivity, cage height is much more important than floor space. Decor consists of tree branches or cork pieces to which the spider can attach its web.
