Hello? Anyone in there?

I was going to sleep in this morning. I was going to sleep until 8:30 am and not post a blog entry, knowing that I'd be working a double today. Unfortunately, our friendly neighborhood garbage men had other ideas.

Damn garbage trucks. Can someone please invent a silent mode for those fucking things? Jamie?          :)

Anyway, since I'm up, I thought I'd let you all know that Stocking the Home Bar, Part 4: Te-kill-ya will be going up tomorrow. Just need to do a little more drinking research.

Also, next week, I'll recap our participation in an event so revolutionary, so monumental, so egregiously over-the-top it will change San Franciscan waistlines forever. And I will come armed with pictures and tabulated results.

Just so this doesn't seem like an empty preview, I'd like to share with you one Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Those of you who don't recognize his name will most definitely recognize the song on my MySpace frontpage.

Anyone who's talked music with me for a little while knows that I almost always prefer an original to a cover. There are very few covers that, through differing musical style or instrumentation or vocal phrasing, really create a different, and sometimes more enjoyable, piece of music. Kamakawiwo'ole's song (medley, really) is one of the best examples of that. The first thirty seconds gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

Please enjoy, and may your day be a little brighter.

 

P.S. - Jamie, don't forget about silent mode on those garbage trucks.
