Unbelievable show. A better one than the one I saw five years ago, because they're touring on a stronger record that I've been listening to for almost a year. Hearing older songs like Planet Telex and Talk Show Host was a pleasure. Everyone stood out of their seats for the entire show. I've never heard a reaction as loud as the one given when the band came out for their second encore. Even Thom Yorke faked being bowled over at the noise. Fantastic lights. There was a double rainbow in the sky just before the sun set.

I've been having connection problems lately, so I'll hope this posts. The other day I finished reading Gratitude. Yesterday I emailed Joe some thoughts I had on the book, and he emailed me back promptly thanking me and offering some encouragement. He also said that earlier in the day, Tim O'Brien had emailed him some praise. I had just finished reading O'Brien's "The Things They Carried" yesterday, so it was a neat coincidence. I also re-read Joyce Carol Oates' "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?", which is a phenomenal piece of unsettling work.

I've been keeping a low profile at home, hanging out mostly with the folks, which my mother seems to appreciate. We watched The Bucket List last night. I've been thinking for quite some time that I'd like to launch some sort of review website where I do quick and dirty reviews of films, records, books and such. Just a hundred words or so each, more for my own personal benefit than anything else.

Radiohead's show at the Molson Ampitheatre might be a great starting point. I've been looking forward to this for awhile. It'll be my second time seeing my favorite band.

RIP George Carlin. RUFUS!!



I picked up a slew of Radiohead EPs that were on sale at HMV yesterday, as well as the best-of DVD with most of their music videos (nothing from Kid A or Meeting People Is Easy, but still pretty damned extensive). I've been on a huge Radiohead kick lately while making a compilation CD for Andrea. She came over after finishing a paper last night and we slept.

Still waiting for news on that Toronto job.
