On the turntable right now, 'Spleen And Ideal' by Dead Can Dance on 180 gram vinyl. Very cool.
Went and saw Skinny Puppy on Sunday night with my pal Brian Burch. Decent show at The Marquee. Audra is playing there a week from tonight with a band called Nitzer Ebb.
I sent out an email today to a bunch of friends with their top 10 album picks of 2009, as well as for the entire decade. Getting some interesting responses. I'll most likely post all of them here on this blog, or some of them.
It is nice and cold here in Arizona. It feels like Christmas.
