Arrived Friday.  Eh, its ok. not great, not bad.   Packaged in a nice black envelope, and a signed copy.  Oh, and a poster and little thank you card.    

Nice to support independent artists, and not the mainstream industry.

ooo Collide is coming out with a new album, after quite a long time.

oooo Throwing Muses are also working on something.. Its been too long for them too. 

MusicBrainz Picard. Not yet ready to turn it loose on my collection, but am trying it on a copy. While most of it I DO have CDs of.. i tend not to bother to rip if i can download, saves me the trouble.  BUT .. file names are all over the board ( i fix many, but miss some too ) and tags, are often missing or bad. Back in my day we had standards.. kids these days.

Downloading direct from the artist when i buy CD, when those come across with no tags is the strangest.

Today someone asked me " dont you have any nice and happy songs ". I just blinked at them for a moment.  "why"  then left.

It's too bad they didnt stick with 'any nice songs' i could have pulled out a Zappa reference of some sort.

25th.   new bandmaid album.
