Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Manic Street Preachers guitarist Richey Edwards declared legally dead. It's been 13 years. I wonder if it takes that long in the UK or if there was some resistence to the idea of having it done.

sumi, I think I read that the law is 7 years, but the family choose to declare him legally dead just now.

For some reason, those news makes me a little bit sad.

That makes sense. I know somebody whose sister-in-law also disappeared and they couldn't bring themselves to declare her dead. (And even though her mother moved away they kept the family home in the family - just in case.)

My sweet wife bought me the Sufjan Stevens Illinoise CD and... I don't know. Will continue listening, but right now, I'm not so sure it's for me. I keep going back to his Christmas songs.

If anyone is interested: my dear friend Guy just uploaded a live session he did for his music blog. This one is with José González.
