My youngest brother Jeff has a band...and a new CD. Feel free to purchase it and enjoy "Four-piece melodic hardcore. Crunchy guitars and screaming."

I really should be studying Latin.

UPDATE! Lesson one completed! Huzzah.

What am I listening to lately?

"Farewell Transmission" by Songs:Ohia (Epic. "Listen!")
"Darkness" by The Police (An old favourite, used to lull me to sleep in the fifth grade)
"Irish Blood, English Heart" by Morrissey (The first single from his new album)
"F@*k The Pain Away" by Peaches (A guilty pleasure. This was in Lost in Translation.
"White Trash Heroes" by Archers of Loaf
"Horses" by Palace Music
"Livin' Was Easy" by The Glands
The entire "Morrissey:Under the Influence" album
"Gloria" by Patti Smith

And now you know.

This is my darling wife's blog. Read, if you dare.

"It's funny, isn't it, how one can go through life, as I have, disliking bananas and being indifferent to cheese, but still be able to eat, and enjoy, a banana and cheese sandwich like this." - Mr. Pither, Monty Python's Flying Circus Episode 34

Much like Mr. Pither, I am constantly finding myself enjoying anew relics from the past. Recently, I have regained an appreciation for two songs which I have listened to often but never really heard: "The Bed's Too Big Without You" by The Police and "Silver" by the Pixies. I have been listening to these groups for twenty and fifteen years, respectively, and these two particular tracks were never my favourites. They were a bit down-tempo for my taste. Perhaps the progressing years have mellowed my ear....

Well, apparently the BBC has cast the role of the Doctor in the new series of Doctor Who.....and the winner is....

Christopher Eccleston.

Cool! I always believed that I would be the first "Chris" cast as the Doctor, but this is a pleasant alternative. I've seen him in Shallow Grave, 24 Hour Party People, and The Others,and know that he is a passionate Morrissey fan, so it looks like a great choice from here. Can't wait for '05!

"If your work isn't what you love, then something isn't right."
That was from "Found a Job" by Talking Heads.
I would say that I partially agree with that. Satisfaction with one's employment can go a long way toward a general feeling of happiness. Personally, I'm still seeking that happy spot(professionally speaking). Right now, I must content myself with being a small cog in a giant machine.

And?

Hi there. My name is Chris and I'll be your blogger today.
Why should you care about anything that I would ever have to say?
Ummmm...you've got me there. At any rate, this is the first post out of the way, hopefully more to follow.

Cheers!
