Okay, so it turns out that we had plans after I got off work tonight, so my grand plans for "Stairway" and such were foiled by prior commitments.
Nevertheless, I got in a little bit of reading in the Hatfield bio over my lunch break today, so that counts for something, right?
One of the other cool music things about today? I finally had a chance to bring up a bit of music at the new job. We were talking during the last hour about songs, and somehow one of my co-workers started singing muppets songs, which got "Mahna Mahna" stuck in someone else's head. So then I got to mention The Green Album, and all of the cool artists (Airborne Toxic Event, Alkaline Trio, etc.) that are on there, and have people listen to a bit of stuff... thereby hopefully turning them on to some cool stuff they weren't aware of before.
Also of note: my brother sent me some more Parov Stellar (wickedly cool hip-hop jazz) last night. Just 5 tracks, but hey, it's 5 more than I had before.
And, finally, I broke down the other day and ordered a couple of things I just can't find in town.
1) King Animal - Soundgarden
2) Dos! - Green Day.
I hope they both show up soon, because I very much want to hear both records.
