Latest Musical Addictions

Been loving iTunes lately, and it's done nothing to help control my music habit (damn those enablers....).

  • Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. How can you NOT dance to Hey Ya! and Bowtie... I dare you...
  • John Mayer - Heavier Things. He plays the guitar like Stevie Ray Vaughn, I swear. I can't wait until he releases a bluesy album. Saw him on Austin City Limits and Buddy Guy and Double Trouble played with him (yes, he was headlining) and he tracked licks with Buddy Guy head to head...
  • Jem - Finally Woken. And boy has she... loving this one so far :). Very relaxing/mellow vibe throughout.

Eric made me do it...

Eric Meyer reminded me how much I loved The Matrix soundtrack, and particuarly Spybreak, then I found Decksanddrumsandrockandroll on iTunes, and after listening to the clips had to buy it...

Damn iTunes is great... it's like having Tower Records in my office...

Encouraged...

Thanks to Eric Meyer for a link to a LiveJounral entry by Brad Chin. I've never been good with words when it comes to my own personal life/emotion. I can explain the workings of a database, SQL or the latest ColdFusion widget in glowing terms, but ask how I'm feeling today or what I think about the effects of an event on my own life, and words leave me. Brad says very well how I like to live my life...

"It must be accepted that it is impossible to undo a wrong. All one can do, all we can do, is positively influence a person, or a group, in effect putting in balance both good and evil."

It's always nice to have your own personal outlook on life validated by someone with the same views... if only I had the skills to put things so eloquently.
