Listened.
Amon Duul 2 "The UA Years"
NEU 2.
I'd never heard the track "Lila Engel" from Neu '73
until recently then I was , well surprised to realize I'd heard
this main dirty guitar blast and tone before .
Then I played "FunTime" from Iggy's "The Idiot" ('77) a few times to confirm it had been there in "FunTime"
Hmm

Kelis "Milkshake"
Missy's & Timbaland's "This Is Not A Test"

Like many I was inspired by the Blues series on PBS this year and so have been listening to alot of old Delta Blues ,
down Bentonia way , downloaded 1930's Skip James .
With luck , we will go to the Delta in August

and with a bit more luck , to W Tibet in Sept.

Rd.
During Thanksgiving i started a reading jag
born of having to get out of the TV room at my relatives house and do something else .
One cousin was sick and coughing all over the place
and the TV bore on .
Scanning cousin Charlie's bookshelf I came up with
Tom Clancy's "Debt Of Honor" and not alot of other options .
I have liked Tom's tech treatment and scenarios and the Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan movies enough to plow right through it .
This one has Japan making some quiet war to take over Saipan and the Japanese parlament in collusion with Indian and Chinese influences against the US.
Ends with lone Japanese pilot flying a jetplane across the US right into the Capitol Building in DC while everyone's gathered there .
Fucking hell

After that i got Clancy's "Executive Orders"
wherein Jack Ryan becomes president after Prez got killed in last act of "Debt Of Honor".
Getting even means global CIA NSA Black Ops scenarios right out of the Toffler's "War and AntiWar".
Probably won't go bk for another after that though
Pentagon porn of a sort all of it

also
Lost Cities Of China, Central Asia & India
Super - Cannes
CGWORLD 2003 ,
DOLL FORUM Japan
and the "Hammer Of The Gods" book on Led Zeppelin.
Gloriously ...
