The clock struck 7:00am and I was already awake. I rolled out of Nicci's bed, dressed, packed my dirty clothes and gathered my belongings before waking her up and leaving for the airport. It was 8am when we hopped in her car. The traffic between Echo Park and LAX was very manageable, and we actually arrived there in less than thirty minutes. This left me way too much time alone at the gate, reading the book Ilya got me for my birthday. At some point a voice came over the loud speaker announcing that anyone who printed their boarding pass [...]
I had a bit of a Neil Young week last week. Just couldn't stop listening to him. Which is odd because I'm not a huge fan. You could say I normally dabble in Neil Young. I'm more a fan of his acoustic side than the sprawling guitars side so I tend to stick to a couple of albums without straying too far. Anyway, my listening habits were inspired in part by listening to the magnificent 'On The Beach' . And in part by the most recent copy of Uncut magazine. For not [...]

English Version: According to wikipedia: Cortez The Killer is a Neil Young’s song from the album Zuma of 1975, this song is ranked number 321 on Rolling Stone’s list of 500 Greatest songs of all time. It’s inspired by Hernán Cortés who conquered Mexico; in the song there are historical references to Aztecs and general México conquest. I found 2 covers of this great song, my favorite Built To Spill (20 mins). There are more covers, even Pearl Jam made one but the quality is poor. [...]

why is portions of antarctica getting colder? the following snippet taken from here: timesonline.co.uk "The best measurements of global air temperatures come from American weather satellites, and they show wobbles but no overall change since 1999. That levelling off is just what is expected by the chief rival hypothesis, which says that the sun drives climate changes more emphatically than greenhouse gases do. After becoming much more active during the 20th century, the sun now stands at a [...]
Well, it looks like we in Central Florida are in the direct path of Ernesto which is officially a Tropical Storm. The weather dudes are predicting a max. of 50 mile/hr winds and a ton of rain. Thankfully, it isn't a hurricane but if you have lived in Florida then you know it is better to be on the safe side and be prepared. The hurricane season down here extends all the way thru the end of October, early November so this is probably just a start. Let's hope I don't get washed out and swept away... [...]
For those who visit regularly, I apologize for the slow posting activity over the past couple of days. I have experienced a few setbacks lately and the depression has dug in my body very deeply again. I have been trying for months now to shake it and it just doesn't seem to happen. The blog has been my only saviour, keeping my mind off things. But lately it has been even difficult to blog. I would like to ask at this time for another contributor to the blog to keep things going. If anyone [...]

Here's the second part of the Southern rock (rawk) classics. I think some folks enjoyed part 1 so I figured I would do another one. A lot of these were in the 70's and pre-dated my immersion into 80's music. So, they have a special significance to my music upbringing. I love all kinds of rock music, there are no real limits to me. Enjoy! mp3 If You Want To Get To Heaven (Ozark Mountain Daredevils - Best Of Southern Rock) [...]

In case you've missed the big broohaha lately, Neil Young isn't too happy with what's going down. So he made a record about it. And it's good. Unbelievably good. Both as a protest record, and as a Neil Young record. In Young's words, it's "a metal version of Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan ... metal folk protest?" If you are looking for the Neil Young protest song to compare it to, it's much much closer to Ohio than Greendale. The whole thing was recorded in like 12 hours with a 3 piece band (plus a hundred person choir). [...]
