* Have not written in nearly a week, but that doesn't mean I have not neglected. Xanga readers, check out johnny 1.1 over at blogger. it's just a site mirror of this, but with a design more at home to me than what I'm given here at Xanga. Finally added a banner and some color/link changes. Firefox recommended for viewing.
* Dido has always been an enjoyable listen; Her mix of trip-hop, melencholic, sometimes electronic and sometimes folk-sounding music accompanied by her honest lyrics have always been a favorite, but I just realized after watching her latest DVD how well her voice carries live! A definite recommendation to anyone, this live album proves why she has sold countless millions in the UK (something I didn't realize until I researched after watching this DVD). Great soft-focus video directing as well, one of the better captured-on-video concerts.
* Still waiting for word on the promotional preview tour from Nickel Creek. KFOG, you're giving me ulcers.
* Live 8 is still on my mind. A little vindication that the g8 has doubled the aid after the last minute push by Live 8 among others. If you missed or want to watch any of Live 8, check out this site, Live 8 Video Downloads, to download any of the video streams courtesy of AOL. It's amazing, especially of London's. Highlights obviously were Coldplay with Richard Ashcroft, U2 and Paul McCartney, Dido performing Seven Seconds, and Pink Floyd's set.
* While on the subject of London, it's just mind-numbing the range of emotion to think a city can go through in one week. Thoughts, prayers, and hopes of resolve are all I can say.
* Open thread discussion (sorry matt good, i'm stealing this idea from you): discuss harry potter's new book, due out saturday the 16th. do you care? are you excited? are you sick of the hype? predictions? do you ask yourself why i am even bringing this up?
* Jury Duty up this week. Anybody with stories?
