I Really Need a Radio Station, but Here:

Was annoying myself this fine Sunday afternoon with all this great new music that I have no clear way to specifically share with people. What I need is a radio station (podcast station) and I do not have the knowhow to build one. But I will anyway. Until then:

My nervous energy today has thus manifested itself in this mixtape, which I just whipped  up from music I have been listening to in the last week, and this should be a good taste of what my podcasts would sound like. (and it’s been a great week for music) But I’ll let you be the judge, and please… judge.

Watch for the 3 Emily Haines tracks as I celebrate that I’m seeing her tomorrow at the Paradise. I’ll leave the rest as a surprise, with a playlist available on request, and a zipped copy of all tracks in a week or so for those of you who want to pick and choose, or don’t trust me, or don’t particularly like me – but still want free music, unless you want to arrest me.

It’s called Lazy Someday, its 02:02hrs long, consisting of 31 songs, mainly indie stuff, mostly newish, and track 3 is dedicated to the 70° day we had yesterday in Boston, in January, in the Northern Hemisphere, because global warming is based on “fuzzy science”…

One big track:

You’ll notice what the name of the podcast site will be called above… if you want to contribute, hit me

Regards and Happy Sunday

Yeah, thats about what im thinking

Keith Olbermann unleashes for ten minutes on the Iraq troop “surge” and the spin our moronic government intends to give to the pouring of Americans into this horrific blender of a mistake.

Anyone I argued with in March of 2003 who disagreed with me about how retarded this was going to be, remind me so I can smack you.

This is your world. Be angry about it. Anticipate that…

Oh and incidently, any other ex Connecticutans feel inclined to return home just to get rid of this Lieberman schmuck? How’s that sheepskin fitting Joe?

Sound like anyone we know?

Iraq is the central front in the global and regional war against Islamic extremism.

Notes from my 70° afternoon next to the Charles River

Children in trees, happy awkward couples, girl with her hair in her face, euro students with cameras, clouds washing over, flat water, the red line, runners, duck couple acting funny, overweight guy with a cassette walkman, sun on my closed eyes, 2 girls with picnic on blanket talking on their cell phones independently, magnet album, goose crap, I love the hancock tower, more runners, my grandmother had a stroke?, I miss canoeing, the never ending breeze from the west,  temp just dropped 10 degrees, elderly couple kisses without a tilt, i’ll leave this city having underused it…..

Then I got some ice cream. JP Licks. Oreo.

Take that winter
