"You think I can't?" sez Huckleberry. "Look at these ears—solid gold, baby."

Bagheera's Box
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an empty box in a good location, must be in want of a cat.
Recognize That Tune?
I know what you're thinking. "Did he ask 36 questions or just 35?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is the most powerful melodic neuroimaging test in the world, and could blow your ears clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Ohhhhh, my aching head. Back from a wedding and then right into CMJ (a sort of New York version of Austin's SXSW), which strangely enough actually had music worth seeing and some very cool panels for the first time in many many years. The Thrill Jockey Showcase that I saw, which showcased all the noiserock that Shytown is famous for, was excellent. Also attended a party at the Slipper Room on the Lower East Side for Fuzz Music, a new music company whose backing comes from one of the Google millionaires. They're looking for things to sign but have no real idea, it seems, as to what directin they want to go. A new music company in 2006. God bless they're Googly millions.

If you've flown anywhere in the last decade or so, you've seen <I>SkyMall</I>, that compendium of useless, hopelessly geeky, and just downright strange products. Pretty hard to parody something like that, eh?
