Cool

I like this little My iTunes HTML widgit I just added to my blog. Good stuff. That was pretty smart on Apple's part. Not sure how many people will actually use it, but I suppose we shall see.

The eclipse can be seen in the Americas, Europe, and Africa. Hope for good weather because the next total lunar eclipse won't happen until December 2010."

Krista Bagley

I just chatted with my internet friend Krista. She's a sweet young lady. Strange how I had not picked up on any headlines regarding this, but it seems that the Mackay area of Australia was getting hit with massive amounts of rain for the past few days and thousands of homes and many businesses were severely damaged by widespread flooding. Thankfully, her home was not one that was caught in the flooding since it is located in an area of higher elevation. Here is an article about it: Flooding in Australia

On a lighter note...

...it was freaking awesome to finally see Autolux do their thing again at the El Rey Theatre. I was a little disappointed though that there was no mention of the new CD. It was cool to see Tim Roth up on the stage kicking it over to the side taking pictures. It seems that every time I see Autolux there is at least one famous face there as well. From all the times I've seen them I ended up seeing Giovanni Ribisi, Vincent Gallo, and now Tim Roth. Anyway, I just hope the new CD is coming out soon.

Aloke Dutta

For those of you out there who are in to Indian Tabla and Sitar music, please consider purchasing an album or two from Aloke Dutta. His website is provided below. I just found out that he almost freaking died at the beginning of this year due to major heart attacks. He had already gone though major surgery and only just recently recovered to a condition that may see him going home fairly soon. Any purchase will help him in dealing with his new medical bills. Thanks.
