I said to the sun - "good morning sun!"
I came across this music while listening to my local standards station, WHLI am. Last week I posted deep, dark, trippy dubstep of Burial - this is the polar opposite. Burial is foggy London at 4AM, Julian Yeo is Coney...
Planes over my house.
I planned on a more extensive collection, but I am too busy, plus the planes look very similar. In any case, looking at these planes it occurred to me that few, if any, are taking full advantage of aircraft fuselage...
Listening to now - July 09, 2008
Ghost Hardware - Burial Wow. Deep, dark, trippy ambient dubstep from the depths of my beloved England. Wow. Some things are best left to the English. My pal Nate in San Diego asked me what track to download for a...

Challenging music.
It is a very rare occasion when a piece draws you in and reveals itself over repeated listens. This is one of those rare instances. To be honest - I have not even been able to listen to it...
Going back to Houston, gonna get me some pants.
Actually, that is a lyric from BECK - but this is a classic tune from Dean Martin. Again, it is critical that young creatives have a sense of history and appreciation of great performers of the past. _____________________________________________________________________________________...

Resistance is futile.
I am worthless. I am weak. And you know what - you can be too!I just finished my first Russian Kettlebell seminar with Fe (iron - remember?) Long Island. This is a tough class that is a combination of strength...
Tennessee.
I wish there was something I could do. The music of Nashville, Tennessee-based band Hammock helped me get through my mothers death last year. I wish I could pay back the debt. __________________________________________________________________________...
Planes over my house.
