musical thoughts	5:00pm 4/20/2006
For a long time i regarded Ride's Carnival of Light as their abandonment of their shoegazing roots, and refused to give it serious consideration as a member of the pantheon of brilliant recordings. But random iTunes excursions into it have convinced me i was mistaken. "Rolling Thunder" is a brilliant textured, instrumental melody, while "From Time to Time" is a mesmerizing pop song to rival the best of Going Blank Again. I guess i've finally realized the progression from Smile all the way through to the band's swansong Tarantula. you will cry and i will cry 'cause all the love's alive tonight Best song about oral sex. Ever.

Hi Ted. Adam Brosamer turned me on to your site. Damn fine to see your pics & stuff, but I'm suspicious that your affinity for Chelsea FC is one of bandwagon status...either that or you were a REALLY big fan of the Clinton era. Sometime in college I started enjoying Newcastle Nut Brown Ale, so I decided then and there that I'd be a Newcastle United fan. Plenty of room on our bandwagon! Later man! - Mark Ferguson

...and no, I have nothing to add to your words about Carnival of Light

Hey Mark! It's been a long time! I'll forgive you your Newcastle leanings (i like the brown ale a lot too), because let's face it, supporting Newcastle isn't nearly as bad supporting United. Or worse ... friggin' Liverpool. (sorry Bill) Veronica still berates me for that party at my house all those years ago when i drank two 40's of Mickey's, puked all over my bedroom, and passed out. All this shortly before you arrived, and in your infinite benevolence you cleaned up after someone you hadn't seen in several years. What a guy!
