The local Bowie concert got rave reviews. He's obviously touring in good spirits and enjoying himself.

Hec's mix is just great.

Rock on!

I'm totally chair dancing to it.

Between the Brazilian, the jazz, the soul, the go-go and the rockers it's a mover, huh?

And FTR - I had heard of 8 of the artists on it previously but only about 3 of the songs.

Excellent.

I started smiling like a loon and looked at the liner notes - it was the 5 a.m. make you smile song. Who else would include Editorial Notes in his own liner notes (which are so fun to read and full of charming hand-written corrections)?

Awww. Also, when you're paid to be an editor you feel kind of stupid sending something out with "it's" incorrect. Especially when two other editors will be looking at it.

I was just looking at upcoming releases on metacritic while forcing the clock to get to 5pm faster with just the power of my mind.

March 23: Iron and Wine, Our Endless Numbered Days (full LP) - YAY.

And I saw that the male half of Rilo Kiley have a side project- The Elected - with an album coming out. Huh. That's nice but I want a new Rilo Kiley album.

Finally must-have box set alert: Complete 4-disc Cure B-sides. WANT.

New Magnetic Fields in early May as well.

I'm going home to listen to the Hec mix in full surround sound. Whee!

Oh tell me about it!! Sometimes I wish I had never mentioned that I was a copy editor here. I've already noticed that there are multiple errors on the print out I sent Lyra Jane.

The Pixies are rumored to be playing the Austin City Limits Festival in late summer.

Margaret Cho's blog has something about the Bowie concert. She looooooooves him.

I'm a very lazy editor, for what it's worth. And I can never remember which words end in -ance and which ones end in -ence.

On edit, but with Tina and Erin, I'm sure you're talking about real editors, and not me.

How do you meet someone who has meant so much to you? How do you say hello to God? I don't know. I just went home. But that was enough. Oh thank you David Bowie. Thank you.

Yes, this. David Bowie is possibly the only person who, if I got to meet them, would reduce me to stammering incoherence.

I'm sure you're talking about real editors, and not me.

Dude. You edit a magazine. I edit dog food coupons. One having a business card with a title on it does not always make it so.

If the Pixies do play the ACL fest and don't come any closer to KC - I just might go. Overcrowding and lack of toilets be damned!

Really going home now (why does everyone always start posting when I'm ready to go home. whine whine).

David Bowie is possibly the only person who, if I got to meet them, would reduce me to stammering incoherence.

I lied about going home.

My best friend that I mentioned earlier felt the exact same way. Her life is spent in daily worship of Bowie. Then she met him - twice. The first time they talked about Dadaism. No shit. The second time what the internet has done to advance art. And how much they both love Beck. Both times she said that he was just so normal and sweet and a good listener that seemed interested in what she had to say that she only felt like passing out for a second or two.

Now to home.

Sometimes I wish I had never mentioned that I was a copy editor here.

Oops, okay, that's four other editors then I think in this exchange: erinaceous, Steph, tina and Hayden. And I know we've got others loose on the board.
