I can't remember what movie it was, but it included a bit of dialog about how people feel the need to fill otherwise quiet moments with inane conversation.
Not that said sentiment really applies here.
Actually, I've been really run down and feeling under the weather since, like, Thanksgiving. It's given me a lot of time to think. Too much time, actually. Blogging under those circumstances would be counterproductive. Hence, the silence.
In any event, my apologies to those who have checked back over the past couple of months for the latest blog entry, only to find cobwebs. If that should happen again anytime between now and November '04, you can make more productive use of your time by clicking here.
So, what's good?
I am in love with a band called The Stereo. They have three albums out, my favorite of which is titled No Traffic.
They're on an indie label called Fueled By Ramen, run by guys who have pretty impeccable taste in music. There's tons of MP3s and stuff to download. Discs retail for $10; I ordered four CDs from them and they threw a bunch of free sampler CDs into the package. Gotta love that...Karaoke at Cafe Eclectic has turned out to be very, very cool. There are so many talented people hanging out there. It's like American Idol, only nowhere near as cheezy. Stop by sometime...
While we're on the subject, I'm on the lookout for another bar/cafe where I can establish Mike's Hard Karaoke on a weekday night. When all goes well, it's a great gig, because I love to sing and it's fun to hear other people sing. If anyone wants to suggest a place, drop me a note...
I'm looking for a song called "Girls and Cars," by an Ithaca punk band called The Tortillas You Wanted. E-mail me if you have it...
I'm seriously considering doing another Christmas CD this year. Got an original holiday tune, or an idea for one? Again, e-mail me...
Looking forward to pitchers and catchers, as well as Season 5 of The Sopranos . What can I say -- I'm a geek...
There, I've blogged. Feel better? I know I do. A belated Happy New Year to all. Talk soon.
