Hand over fist

I would seriously post more often but it seems like every time I get half way through a post, something happens and I lose the text. I'm just not built for do overs. You can chart all the way back into my youth when do overs were the norm and I've just never been good with them. It's not good business.

I'm considering a move. Just about everything relating to the new pad seems better than the current pad except that my vehement distaste for commitment stymies me when it comes to leases.

Let's hear it for a crowd turning up at the weekly Heidelberg show tonight!! Now go do everything in your power to make it happen. I'm not even asking you to show up, just ask others. 10:30pm start, $3 cover, $2 beers.

I'll also be opening the show over at Ridley's in Royal Oak tonight at 8pm, so maybe give that a shot too. You may especially want to see this show if you're an enemy of mine, as historically speaking it's a great place to watch my self esteem turn to dust and blow away.

This label sundazed has been churning out some hot re-issues for a few years now. My buddy J.T. put me onto a recent re-issue by a band called Penny Arkade. This outfit was produced by Mike Nesmith and you know how I love the Monkees, and Nesmith solo. What I've heard so far from the Arkade sounds real nice.
