Music I’m listening to
The gig last night at IOTA went great. A little wrung out this morning as a result, but the price must be paid to Bring the Rawk. Our crowd was very large and (thankfully) a little less chatty than the last show there, at which it was sometimes even hard …
Both Tim Waugh and I are apparently big Justin Currie fans. My copy of his new solo album just showed up and HOLY HELL is it good. I was glad to see a bunch of the Dels play bit parts here and there, and Justin dedicates the record to longtime …
It’s pleasant enough to work outside for a little while, and at least I can confirm while typing this entry that this Dell is, in fact, usable in more-or-less direct sunlight. I’m going to work on some side projects today since I’ve been keeping up with core Fedora docs work …
Yeah, 30 GB of Kool-Aid. And God help me, it tastes sweet. Oh, and we got one of these to go with it.

So it looks like just about anything to which Jon Brion can be connected, even indirectly, is pretty much great by definition.

Seems like Rebound, the debut solo album by Justin Currie — who formerly fronted the criminally and terminally underappreciated Del Amitri — may see daylight around October 9. “Until then, I’d been living on my knees.” (And countless spins of the old records.)
Film Eleya and I have been wanting to go see Grindhouse, but our weekends are generally getting pretty booked up at this point. So I figured, what better way could there be to get some quality time than to call up da Moms and get her to sit the kids? …
Well, certainly I’m not talking about the weather. This is the second Saturday in a row with temperatures at or above the mid-60s. But after the normal stress of the holidays, there was not much news to report here. Ethan has of course abandoned all the toys Santa brought him …
