Random stuff for today:

- Polenta and Trader Joes's Carnitas = yummy

- A Clear Midnight by Walt Whitman
This is thy hour O soul, thy free flight into the wordless,
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done,
Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best,
Night, sleep, death and the stars.

- Art School Confidential Trailor LOL!


Recommended Tunes For Today:

+ Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part I - V)
(I've finally found this song. 13+ mins of kickassness. Epic)

+ Dave Van Ronk - Gambler's Blues
(Greenwich coffeehouse era - should be remembered beyond helping Bob Dylan)

+ AC/DC - Back In Black
(Totally rocked out to this song last night. Outside my headphones I probably looked like some insane kook but inside there was a party goin on!)

+ The Beatles - Doctor Robert
(Boy, what about this forgotten gem?)

+ Bob Dylan - I Want You
(From Blonde On Blonde which I can now never think of without thinking of Jack Black in High Fidelity scolding a customer for not owning a copy of Blonde On Blonde)

+ Eric Clapton - Willie And the Hand Jive
(chunky)

+ Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons - Walk Like A Man
(classic)

+ Dr. John - Careless Love
(The first time I saw him on Austin City Limits (at least I think it was ACL) I thought, for someone who has fat fingers, this guy can really play!)

+ Ben Folds - Landed
(Played this song nonstop on repeat for 1 hour last night. Piano is absolutely mindblowing, the final choir like harmony in the latter part of song. The final extra layer of ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-baba-baba I've landed)

+ Franz Ferdinand - Come On Home
(Is anyone reminded of Ennio Marricone when the listen to this song??)

And of course the obligatory daily dose of Mr. Sexy himself:

Hugh Laurie
