They have a slightly soft, slightly progressive harmony of hip that floats just as well in the background office routine as it does on a five hour trip up the i5.

Although one had come with much recommendation, the other fell from my desire to watch foreign/art type films. The Matador was film Saturday; número one.

It is consuming, it destroys, and it is contagious. Creation dissipates in its own fermentation, leaving emotional bewilderment and exasperation as its paramour. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering.

As I left the juice joint from whence my lunch was taken (not Josie’s, that’d be kind of queer), there before me, flutter a tall, un-impressing Loof. I wonder how they exist from time to time but always arrive at the same answer; they must be here for a reason. The Loof I saw today was nearly backed over by a car.

I always wanted to play football but I was a scrawny little waif and the folks declined, so football after school with the neighborhood folk, sans padding and head gear was just fine. Go figure.

Window open, faint echoes from a fountain may be heard above the tranquility of evening dusk as they reveal through the parapets clam.

That desire didn’t come to light until sometime around 1989 but that’s a different story. I was in constant search for new and exciting music to spin on the Garrard 2000. A local college radio station played a spankin' new tune one day and boom! Off I went to Tower.

How many times do you laugh out loud? I smile fairly often with a sly, sort of mischievous look.

If you’re a fan of ‘The Birds and the Bees’ song in the Volkswagen Rabbit Commercial, then this is worth a listen, but don’t hope for more of the same.
