All I did was update my Facebook status. All I said was that I wanted a record player. The kind that spins underneath a small needle. You know the kind. And two days later…
On the schedule: That Buddy Rich record you see, U2’s Wide Awake in America, U2’s Under a Blood Red Sky, and some [...]

Just bought a two-record (vinyl) set of his old band. Now I just need a record player! Anyone? I dig on the old Slingerland, two floor tom kit with the solid no brand-on-the-cymbals, style. And what’s on the lower floor tom? Doesn’t seem to matter; this four minutes is pretty boss.

I’ve tried. It’s been 17 years since I scraped by and graduated, so you would think it’s all a memory by now, for sure.

I think there’s .15 left if anyone [...]

I’m half-way through a movie called Once staring Glen Hansard from The Frames & Marketa Irglova. Good movie. The music is great. I love The Frames.

My good friend handed me a DVD set a couple of weeks ago that I’m just now getting around to watching. It’s called Heima, which is not an IKEA product, but close. It’s concert footage from 16 different Sigur Ros gigs in Iceland.
Two things:

Icelandic people look cool
