CDs:
Talking Heads - Sand in the Vaseline: I was watching Mat and Eric and their band play at the Mojo the other week. They had gone on a break, and I was talking to Mat for like a minute. Right before he walked back over to his drum set he said to Al and I, “I think we’ve got a treat for you guys coming up next” or said something to that effect. I thought to myself “hmm what could this be”. A short few seconds later they started playing. I knew I recognized it but I didn’t really have it fully till Eric started in on the lyrics in his best David Byrnesque vocals. Thus started their quasi-cover of “Life During Wartime” from the Talking Heads. I say quasi-cover because they did the whole song, but about half way through they kinda broke into what best I could tell to be a jam of a bunch of other stuff, including original songs of their own. At one point breaking into their song “Matsushima”. There was probably other stuff in there that I’m missing but you get the jist of it. Then when you least expected it they pulled it all back together to reprise the medley by covering the last half now of “Life During Wartime”. It was a pretty cool song, I was glad to have seen it. I keep wondering how it turned out in the recording of the show. I’d definately be intersted in hearing the recording sometime. Anyways, Why am I saying this you ask? Well its cause I didn’t have any Talking Heads in my CD collection till today. I mean I’ve listened to them before, but i was lacking it in my collection. Seeing those guys cover that song made me realize that i was in error not having any Talking Heads in my collection. So as of today I’ve corrected that error ;).

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot: No big story .. i just felt like being hip.

Book:

The Photographer’s Handbook, Third Edition: Well with my new affinity for Photography I figured I wanted a foto reference. This looked to be the best one in Barnes & Nobles, so I bought it. I plan on reading it all the way through, so I’m smart on all the lingo. Plus you can’t really have too many books.

Hmm thats about all fo today.
