Close up on a Larkspur I'm in heaven ... I am now a proud owner of a 80 gig IPod . Why should you care, you really shouldn't, this toy is just another tool to separate the user from society, but damn do I love it. I've got about half my CD's loaded (2200 songs), I'm thinking (been doing this for a while but just to lazy) of digitizing my record collection .. I've got about 1000 [...]

Rome at night, yes that bus is really that small. Arrrgh!!!! I am so sick. I had a great time at Gogol Bordello . Awesome concert. I got there early, a bit to early 8pm.

Dub Trio is a pretty cool band, Bass Guitar Drums doing Art Rock/Metal/Punk/Dub .. really interesting but [...]
