Since this blog will be like everyone else's blog in the universe (heck, I'm not even going to change the Movable Type templates, just so I can be like every other MT blog), I feel obliged to talk about music and other popular culture. So here's some of what I'm listening to today:
Gran Turismo, The Cardigans
De Stijl, The White Stripes
The Crow (soundtrack)
Some general observations:
Gorillaz rock. Unfortunately, I seriously doubt they'll rock long enough to release a second album.
I want to like lots of the Dave Matthews Band's music because I think I'm pretty musically savvy and other smart people like them. But all of their music just sounds the same, and one can only take so many 30-minute jam sessions (disguised as "songs").
Most good music is not new music. Most things worth listening to are 5+ years old, and almost all of the really excellent music is even older. Or am I just getting old and crotchety?
That is all.

Take it from me -- I definitely know cool.

it was my heart he ceased.
He took me from one end,
and turned me around.
He picked me up,
when I was down.
He made me happy,
when I was sad.
Now I am happy to say,
I'm glad.
