Music in Various Forms

Being a music lover, I find myself searching the web for the sounds that fit my ear best. I am an avid rock 'n' roller when it all comes down, but I am drawn to anything that moves me. I would absolutely love to have a soundtrack running for my life. (That's a fairly common thing, I think. I mean, just look at all the people with headphone cords hanging down their necks. We want to be immersed in a music-driven life.) So I will regularly be posting video links to some of the coolest and most innovative forms of music I can find.

This first one has rocked my socks for over a year now. The fine people of Eastern Asia seem to always be the most daring in trying new things. I mean they have, what, half the world's population in China? You're bound to get a few genetic combinations that produce children who say, "Hmmm. I wonder what happens when I mix this with that and spin on my head while eating this...thing...here."

I give you, DJ Kentaro:

Astoria Trip


Leaving your mark

Julie and I had a fantastic time in Astoria this week. It was less than 3 days away from home but it felt fantastic. I'm still quite relaxed. And then I think about work tomorrow. Then I remember this photo and wonder if our names are still in the sand or if the tide came in by now and shook up the enormous Etch-A-Sketch. I kind of hope so because my cursive sucks.
