Great work last night at Anatomy of Habit practice. We made major progress on the new song, now tentatively titled "Radiate and Recede," and I think that we have all of the main parts locked in

I am slowly starting to add select non-BloodLust! titles - by artists with releases on BloodLust! - to the webstore. Two Plague Bringer titles are available now. There will be more to come... Please note that I am not starting a full-on distro and I am not soliciting for titles to stock.

Reviewing last night's The Fortieth Day session. Weird night. Late start. We just had to start with a snowy drive up to Kuma's. Smallish crowd huddled in doorway/front. Isidro and I were sitting at a table within just a few minutes. Excellent! I had the special -- the Absu -- from a band who I had an early liking for, but lost interest in after a couple of albums. The Absu is a 10-ounce burger with the following toppings: a spicy tomatillo salsa, avocado and red onion relish, melted pepperjack cheese, fresh queso fresco, and topped off with three different types of deep fried chiles - jalapeno, habanero, and red fresno. Very tasty. The recording session consisted of Isidro on bass, loops, rhythms, and sequences, and me on Roland MC-202 through a long string of delay and distortion pedals. I played seated, due to the burger coma. It seemed like an about-face to the recent "restraint" sessions, but as I listen to it, it may not have been the forceful overload that I thought that I was experiencing. There is more nuance than I expected.

- Packing up orders for a Post Office run

- Enjoying a mixed bag of music today, from later Beatles albums to the new Climax Denial "All Of My Loves Are Like Dreams" CD to a couple of really uplifting albums by Apati, "Morgondagen inställd i brist på intresse" (2010) and "Eufori"(2009)

- The Fortieth Day heads into "the space" later today...

- Mega Millions is at $145 Million!

P.NG5361.B's 2010 Lists

I am really humbled by the inclusion of so many recordings (and even a show) that I was involved with in the year-end lists from Paolo from Sshe Retina Stimulants/Sigillum S. His carefully composed lists are always interesting to read, this time of year, and even better this year!
