Gatecrashing

Word of advice – before charging through the turnstiles in the subway station, make sure that you swiped your Metropass correctly and that the turnstile will actually TURN. Otherwise, it can be a world of hurt if you’re a guy of about, oh, five-foot-ten.

Yikes.

Gold Soundz

Got the one issue of Magnet I was missing to complete like a 3-year run. This obsessive compulsive/collector streak in me just costs so much money… but it gives me something to read. It’s the Stephen Malkmus issue.

Another marathon band practice tonight. Spent the first part of the evening helping Seventeen work out the bassline to ‘Born On A Train’ (successfully, I think), the next segment was running through some stuff with Craig who kept complaining he was having an aneurysm (he wasn’t) and then going through the set with Laura (who didn’t complain about anything). Things are sounding good. Thursday will probably be our last full, full-length rehearsal before the next show. I think we will be fine.

Good news bad news. Good news – Sigur Ros returns to Massey Hall this October 30. Tickets are $45, a little pricey but reasonable for a fantastic show. Bad news – tickets go on sale this Friday… when I will be in the midst of a 6 hour drive to Cleveland. Ut-oh! Hope Andy has his cellphone with him…

You’ll Have To Go Sideways

So as you can see, I’ve done away with the pop-up, fixed-size interface that lasted all of two weeks. Call it equal parts boredom and pragmatism – I hate pop-ups, no reason to think I’m the only one. And more real estate is usually a good thing. So we’ll go with this. But if someone wanted to bet that I’d redesign the whole site again before the year is out, well sir, I would not take that bet.
