In love with a Strict Machine.

Firstly, I was mildly alarmed, then strangely titillated to find that my mother has taken to listening to the Ditty Bops. It strikes me as very amusing, and she has caught the bug fairly readily. I may introduce to her other like minded artists and see how it goes.

I also found that the mainstream papers down here covered the release of a new Mountain Goats CD, which was a pleasant surprise whilst flipping through them at the beach yesterday. In between bouts of slathering sunscreen on my poor, pasty frame and averting my eyes from the plethora of banana-hammock girded Germans who were at field 5 of Jones beach, I read a very passable article attempting to explain the music. It was as though there was a bizzare Teutonic invasion, all harsh accent and waxed, barely cald blondes jumping around and frolicing as I scowled into my paper, and attempted to build a slight tan, so I might look healthy.

This morning, I woke at seven and pulled up two stumps in the backyard. It needed to be done, in a big way, and then I mowed the lawn and took care of pool related issues. When done, I came in and saw for the second time on TV Alison Goldfrapp hawking a new phone for Verizon. It was odd to hear the music in only a chunk, but I am guessing that they are well on their way to more populatiry and so on and so forth. Yay for that, because of the quality and enjoyment that is provided by the tunes which the group collectively issue.

Thats about it for now.
