All of a sudden it is staying light outside much longer. You can sit in the park till 8pm and still see some specs of sunlight in the city. it’s very nice. they call this an Indian summer. where right in the middle of winter or spring it gets hot for a few days. what a relief it is for everyone.

Current spin: yellowcard. Thought I'd try. You know. Good kid music is what you'd call it I guess. pop punk is what they are calling it these days. punk without balls. Catchy grungy guitar pop without that sense of rock-godness. You hear the talent – the instrument talent, well practiced is a good way to put it. But its weird how music is now. the sound fitting in with what's in is more important than the validity of the actual artist. Its not ‘artist oriented’ as much anymore. It’s a game of churn and burn. Artists like John mayor or lenny –jet and keane and coldplay are all great -- are still getting in every now and then but its more like they're slipping through the cracks rather than the norm. Nothing inspiring here for me on this cd. Not like the strokes last one which I just listened to again today and just love. That CD kicks ass. I think Julian is really good. and I think he's going to keep getting better. If the suits let him keep at it.
