Got a pre-release copy of the new Thin Lizzy album from '77. Still have to say they just don't grab me as band. They were good, can't doubt that, but I still don't think it's something I'd put on and listen to on my own. The crowd sounds are definitely manipulated, but everyone did that back them. It's not bad.

Hot Leg is being put around usenet. Free album. I'll give it a listen later. I might be persuaded to buy it if I like it. Maybe.

Yes has canceled this leg of their NA tour over health issues. Damn it sucks getting old. But, the Syn is apparently booked for RoSFest - been wanting to hit that for years and this year might be the year. BJH is playing, and I've always liked them. Timing issues tho. Might not have the time to get there and not work for a weekend.

Think I'm gonna go start digging out from the snow. They shut the motorway and no one's supposed to be traveling, but I need beer. That's an emergency.

Chicken... ChickenWing, ChickenBone, something. Odd band name anyway. Should prove for a few more interesting late night chats. Haven't heard from the guy since his stint with the Raspberries. Interesting. A job is a job these days.

Ron's come over with more prod tabs. Better than $65USD/carton they are now in New York.

Have to make a Syracuse run tomorrow. Hope the roads are back open by then, otherwise it's unploughed back roads 'cos the police never barricade them off like they do the main roads.

Feeling better, most of the lurghy is gone. Still a tad congested and my ears are plugged. Watching that carefully. Always scares me when it goes into my ears. Hardly coughing and my throat is back to normal. Should sleep well tonight.

Turns out The Poodle is on Ivory. Wonder where he buggered off to after his TV Courtroom appearance. Western Florida, apparently. Good place for the Swiss. 40 gigs of shit - 9 DVD's. I'll never even listen to it all, let alone need that many samples. But it's mine. All mine. The whole Synthology line is overdone. I'll stick with my Abbey Road plug ins. Love that bundle.
