Friday Wrap-Up (kind of a status report)
- Liz and I went and saw / and the last night at (thanks again, Mo, for watching Maggie). What a great show. It really renewed my faith in all things . I also have to say that The Duo are unreal. Go from their latest album, “Play Pause Stop”. I have honestly listened to “Soba” at least 10 times this morning. I cannot recommend them enough. Take my word for it.
- Posting is gonna be light for the next week or so. We’re going to the land of cheese, brats and beer (three of my favorites). Coincidentally, for a trip the his family is going on next week. He basically created a podcast, but not in the traditional “person talking into a microphone” sense. He asked that anyone that uses “tag” mp3s that he should listen to on the trip . He then ran the feed that del.icio.us generates . You and anything tagged with ricksipod is automagically pulled down to your computer/iPod. Very clever and I’ve taken advantage of it. This will be the soundtrack to our trip as well. Thanks, Rick. :) (and by the way, “Soba”, which I mentioned above was one of the songs that is currently in the feed ~ although it wasn’t me who tagged it…)
- I got accepted
- I got a lot of new music this week that I’ve been listening to…
= Golden Smog – “Another Fine Day”
= Thom Yorke – “The Eraser”
= Sufjan Stevens – “The Avalanche”
= Band of Horses – “Everything All The Time” (probably my favorite of the bunch, although I’ve had this before ~ just making it “legit”. You’re welcome, RIAA.)
- for the DS has been getting most of my attention lately. With all of these brain games I’ve been playing lately, you’d think I would be uber-smart? :) Now that we have two DS’s in the house, I’m finding that it’s really fun to play head-to-head against Liz. What’s great about the DS is that with the majority of games that I have, you can play against someone but only need one copy of the game. I’m sure we’ll be making a drinking game out of head-to-head Big Brain Academy while up in Wisconsin (although, that kind of seems counter-intuitive?). :)
