I just saw Avenue Q. It was great. You must see it the next time you are in NYC. If you don't know anything about it is Sesame Street for Adults.

I will be gone for a few days...be good HM. I can't think of a more classy way to say goodbye then this video. Remember only stand next to a horse in an interview if you are willing to sffer the consequences.

More later--in few days

Iron & Wine is far better than you give it credit for...

Other major omissions: Sleater-Kinney, LCD Soundsystem, System of a Down

Thanks for the comment and yes I love (LOVE)Iron and Wine and probably will bump them up come the end of the year. I am not very happy with myself for not owning Sleater-Kinney yet. I will fix that soon. Is System of a Down really that good? LCD Soundsystem---I am lukewarm on that right now. Too many other CDs make me happier and I never seem to keep that in the CD changer too often(Yes U still have and use a changer). I do find that when I make a mix tape if I throw a song on from LCD that song always makes me happy when I chance upon it in the mix...

I will be getting home soon and get a real update up.
