Gary’s shared linksI don’t know if it’s just me, or if this happens to everyone. But, frequently, when I hear a song, my mind has a little bit of a flashback to the first time I heard it. It’s hardly conscious; more often than not, I’ll be totally preoccupied or busy doing something when a song will [...]

Way back in January of 2005, I saw the Arcade Fire play the 9:30 Club in DC. On the way out of the show, it seemed like everyone (including my craigslist concert buddy) could not stop raving. I don’t know if my expectations were too high or what (my main theory is that DC fans [...]

Bad news. After a month of going back-and-forth with my old job about the possibility of working for them once a week in DC, I finally got a definitive “no.” On the bright side, they told me that they’d be willing to take me back part- or full-time. So, hopefully that offer stays on the [...]

Remember the post before the last one? The one about the song? I’ve got it! It’s called Xxtralarge by ABN! Although I was partially wrong; it’s mostly not in English. (Looks like Dutch to me). It came to me in the shower. Why is it that you always get your best ideas in the bathroom? [...]

SILVER SPRING, MD, USA Excellent weekend. Normally, just sauerkraut would make me happy. Normally, a great away message (or, in this case, 2) will make me happy. Normally, coming to realization that I live on the same street as the White House would make me happy. This weekend featured all three, and that doesn’t even [...]

SILVER SPRING, MD, USA Sorry for the lack of updates. Happily, I’ve been busy. I’ve failed as a blogger. I didn’t post a review of the Arcade Fire show after the concert. Fortunately (little known fact:), exactly 100% of the the people at the concert had blogs, so it’s been reviewed to death. If you’re [...]
