Not having a computer has really hindered my capacity to blog. But in the meantime I've been making use of this handy little notebook of mine to record thoughts and also anything i need to know regarding databases or ingestion (a rather disturbing sounding word for CD ripping).

I realize that I always come into a new place with the expectation that it runs somewhat perfectly. And then everything I discuss about it ends up sounding negative because I dont always see the point of discussing something that runs smothly.

But cathcing a free show of the North Mississippi All Stars in front of 40 or so people is pretty fucking awesome. And I really enjoy, although it becomes rather repetitive, editing all these old radio dramas. I realized that I've never really listened to them before and its quite a shame that they will never again become prevalent in American culture. The masses just don't have the patience for it anymore.

Which makes me wonder what the ratings for Sonic Theater are. I really wonder how the ratings in general for all the unique XM talk and music channels line up to the basic hits stations or syndicated news channels.

In two weeks, I've also had some grievences about a few elements of XM radio. But most of them have become subdued after realizing that many idea's i've had have already been considered and/or implemented.
But there is still one thing...
I can't seem to reconcile the fact that all the posters of musicians around the headquarters are of old/classic artists, with the exception of Lenny Kravitz, whom I would argue is on the verge of washed up. I just think we could use some fresh faces around, especially walking into the lobby. I mean c'mon, who really wants to watch an acoustic performance of REO Speedwagon's "Heard It From A Friend Who..." (or whatever its called) everytime one comes into work. I'm sure there have been some better, more recent performaces worth projecting...(at least, hmm, North Mississippi All Stars).

Okay, back to the editing bay.
