Distraction from a bad day at work.

New/old purchases:

New:
Mars Volta, “Francis the Mute”

I may be giving this one away. It was only 7 bucks, though, so I may try to grow into it.

Hem, “Eveningland”

I loved “Rabbit Songs” so much I can’t wait to dig into this.

Repurchase:

Godspeed You Black Emperor! “lift yr. skinny fists like antennas to heaven”

Last year, I lent my entire GYBE! and A Silver Mt Zion collection to a work acquaintance who promptly moved to Portland, OR. I have mourned this ever since and never got around to rebuilding the collection. I have officially started.

In the guitarish meantime, I’ve been trying to work up arrangements of “Ballroom Blitz” on my ancient (1920s) black slide guitar and of “Dance Away” by Bryan Ferry on my usual instrument. The Ferry song’s pretty much done; the Sweet will take a bit more work but when it’s done it orta be…well, sweet. In a totally bizarre sort of way.
