Why?
I’m in a vicious spinlock right now, treading water at the precisely wrong time. Nothing I can do but sit back and wait. And maybe come to work on my off-day tomorrow. I really stole a 9/80 from them at the beginning, so I guess that would make it square.
I was trying to move more albums onto the iRiver last night with the wrong cable, and I had a little intermittent connectivity problem. I thought I had it fixed by holding everything really still while the music moved over, but apparently it didn’t work so well.
I was letting the morose, sinister groove of A Perfect Circle’s “The Package” build up, when all of a sudden the track switched over to the middle of Seals and Crofts’ “Diamond Girl.” I don’t think you could have planned a more ironic juxtaposition.
“Weak and Powerless” is not producing any soft 70’s hits, so I’m thinking the rest of the album is okay. If they mess with “The Noose” I’m going to have to switch albums, because that song makes the whole of Thirteenth Step. Just about as much as that creepy cover art might almost ruin it.
I think there’s a fresh FAT32 partition in the works for the little MP3 player once the real cable is located and utilized.
Update: “The Noose” completes without a Better than Ezra intervention or anything of the like. “Blue” proceeds with authoritah.
Question: Do you ever see an electronic document with hyphens in the middle of a line, indicating that at some point someone must have tried to force a hyphenation at a certain location? Does it ever occur to you to wonder why someone would try to force hyphenation?
