Still recuperating from Renovation, plus the usual (or not) entertainments of the week. These included the battery in my car dying* and a short power outage due to dead branches blowing out the fuse on the pole (not several euphemisms). Working on a Reno report, including The Big Reception and cracking Scalzi and Silverberg up (seperatly). But for now, back to the music.
1) The Lions And The Cucumber, Manfred Hubler & Siegfried Schwab
2) Biko, Peter Gabriel (Orpheum Theater, Boston, Mass. July 8, 1980)
3) Tall Cool One (Extended Version), Robert Plant
4) Rough Knuckles, Supergrass
5) Thank God It's Not Christmas, Parenthetical Girls
6) The Loved One, INXS
7) Feed the Fire, The Cracker Cats
8) Vampire, Pink Mountaintops
9) Come Together, Invisible
10) Suite III Overture, Janelle Monáe
plus
11) The Richest Kids, This Is Ivy League
12) Black Eyes, Shearwater
13) L.A. Getaway, Joel Scott Hill
Other than ramping up the PR work for Chicon 7 (join now! Memberships go up at the end of September!), the only scheduled activity for the weekend is the Ralphie Fantasy Football League draft on Sunday. Can the Romosexuals rebound from last year's horrible record? We'll find out. And while there is the Baconfest on Saturday, I can't afford the $45 entry fee, or even the $10 to enter the bacon eating contest, which I most assuredly would win. Such is life.
*Made more fun by the placement of the battery, which requires the removal of a tire to access. Nice job, Dodge!
