For some reason 30 really bothered me. 31 and 32 not so much. We will see how the rest come along and treat me.

But being 30 certainly beats the alternative…..

As I said on my Xmas CD, I hope the new year is a “Harmony Joy Bus Ride” for you (poor Wesley).

The BNL concert sounds like a great way to spend New Year’s Eve! I certainly would have loved to join you.

We went to a party last night. I had a heck of a headache today. I’m too old for this. ;)

Yes, it is a shame about John Peel. Quite fitting this comes up when discussing the song “Endless Art.” Bringing the world all that music had to qualify as art in a way.

Interesting fact: I learned from the documentary on another Irish band, The Undertones, that John Peel wanted their hit “Teenage Kicks” played at his funeral… I am certainly curious if it happened.

And yes, there was a show called “Post Modern MTV,” which I think was a nightly half-hour affair. I have some tape of Andy Partridge hosting (though the videos have been cut out) circa 1989, where they featured an acoustic performance of “King For A Day,” I think.

It’s where I found out about XTC, WAAAAAAY back in 1987. As well as a host of other groups (Bauhaus/ Love and Rockets, Guadacanal Diary, Wire, etc etc).

Side note – Damn shame about John Peel, eh?

Without question.

It almost never is out of hand’s reach.

Of course, leave it to Apple to stir my want for needful things ….. just yesterday they came out with (GASP) a 60 gig model.

15,000 songs in your pocket.

::drools::

I wonder how much plasma I could donate in a week……
