My Favorite Feed

I have a Bloglines feed set up to bring me Flooring News. I started it with the idea of getting info on the flooring business, style trends, industry news and etc. It's great for that but because it pulls in anything with the word flooring in it so I also get a world wide assortment of stories on everything from the redevelopment of an old Mission school in the Philipines to the redevelopment of the East Boston waterfront to the recovery of long sunken logging timbers to sports, odd discoveries of items hidden under floorboards and much much more. I check it a couple of times a month and there's always something good to read.

Shoot & Kill? Sure, we'll hold them till you get here.

Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitar sounds great on a song that might be called Whiskey Wine and Gin. The piece sounds familiar and I think it may be from a live performance he did on Austin City Limits. I had a video of that for a while and it was a great performance that featured Texas Flood and Voodoo Child. Pure smoke and fire.

And...for what it's worth I was on the New York State Thruway coming back from the Philadelphia Folk Festival when I heard he had been killed. Big shock then and he's still missed.

Quote of the Month

Late, as usual, but timely.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we
are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and
servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. -Theodore
Roosevelt, 26th US President (1858-1919)

Everything was wonderful - a true value. Additionally, the folks that run this lodge are knowledgeable and fiendly.

Just saw a Pizza Hut ad in the Super Bowl pregame show. A twelve year old kid and some blonde in a red dress murdering Nancy Sinatra. For a second I thought she was gonna give the kid a lap dance.

Anything from Napster. They didn't sound like a very good deal back when they launched their new legal version and I think that's become obvious even to them. Essentially you just rent or lease the music you get from them and if you ever cancel your subscription the music becomes unplayable so you wind up with nothing. Today I saw they're offering a free trial to attract new subscribers. That's a big red flag right there. If the deal was any good in the first place they wouldn't have to do that now.

Drone Zone on SOMA FM. One of my favorites, it's great in the background when I need to be able to concentrate. They're on the net of course but they're also built into the iTunes radio section under Ambient.
