Oh Brian, you think 8 hours is too short of a notice for me not to squeeze in a blog at the last minute? Tsk tsk tsk.. You thought I'd have something better to do on a Saturday night at 9:10pm than blog about random stuff? Do you even know your older brother?? :-)
This week had a lot of crappy traveling for me. To the great city of Pittsburgh (go Steelers) then to the suck-hole that is Ohio, and one final stop in Detroit before flying home. I had a day trip to Milwaukee that was over quickly, and that wrapped it up.
The one bright spot was the discovery of new music! Rich led me on to a new discovery (for me) that enables the music junkie in me. The software is called Torrent, and it allows you to download entire albums for free! This discovery happened at the most ideal time, because the day earlier I had stumbled across an iMix on iTunes that was simply titled "Acoustic." This iMix had songs from mostly punk bands that did an acoustic rendition of some of their top songs. This category of music is my all-time favorite. I had some of the songs already, but I downloaded a few more, and before you know it I had a pretty good start to my own acoustic play list. Thursday night, before my Friday trip, I completed the Acoustic list with the balance of my music library from my home laptop. The result of the effort is one of my favorite collaborations of music. I seriously could listen to the list of 80 some songs non-stop and never grow tired of it. I have to pass it in front of Rich for his approval (and additions) and I will probably throw it in front of Brian too for his additions should he have any that we haven't covered. I haven't been this excited over music in some time. It even got me to bust out my guitar and play a little piano today.
Speaking of piano, I watched this week's episode of "Scrubs" and was happy to see another good show. The first episode involved cameo appearances by some of the cast of Sesame Street. Oscar, Grover, one muppet that i didn't recognize, and Elmo were all pretty funny, but the best part of the show was at the end. In the background a song was playing. That song was sung by Joshua Radin, (one of my personal favorites) and he was singing, of course... Sesame Street. The song was comprised of just his voice, and a piano backing. The song is not available.. yet, but should it ever become available, be sure to know that I will have it the second it comes out. I did however just locate the sheet music for something close to what Joshua played.. I think i'll go check it out and try to play it again!
WOO!
Take that little bro! A posting with time to spare! :-)
HO K Peace OUT!
