Happy New Year!

Here's hoping 2007 will be a year of joy, fullfillment and dreams realized for all my friends here on blogger.

All-In-One

It's finally here and all set up. My brand new Epson CX5000. Printer, copier, scanner. I've wanted one for so long. Now the fun can begin. I'm going to hunt down some pictures and start scanning them. Watch this space.

Day Off

I have Wednesdays off. I'm sitting here listening to the new Loreena Mckennitt CD called An Ancient Muse. It sounds heavenly just like all the other CDs of her I own. She just takes her listeners to another time. I've really had a fantastic year as far as music goes. Most of all because of the brilliant CD Endless Wire that The Who put out at the end of October. I still don't go through a day without listening to that. It's like I've always said patience pays off and Who fans need a whole lot of it at times. Being able to hear those new songs live this last Friday was a dream come true. I still haven't been able to come back down from the events on that day. Still walking a few inches above the ground.
The list of newly aquired music is quite an extensive one. Rachel Fuller, Mikey Cuthbert, Casbah Club, Foy Vance, Martha Wainwright, Flaming Lips, Eels, Indian, The Grip Weeds, Backbone Shiver and on and on and on. My ipod is filled to the brim.
So now I'm looking forward to seeing what the new year brings.

To the music critics of my town

Let's see you get up and put on a show like Roger Daltrey did last night when you've got bronchitis. Oh and I'd like to hear you pull off the scream at the end of Won't Get Fooled Again like Roger did last night.

I more than got my money's worth last night. From all the cheering and clapping and whistling going on I'd say the crowd last night were far from disappointed.

I hope you get well Roger. Enjoy your rest. You've earned it.
