Ryan Adams and Tift Merritt were on Austin City Limits last night and it was pure gold.

Can't wait to watch it again.

One the aganda today:

I have a date with a self-described tree hugger.....we'll see how that goes!

I like tree huggers, don't get me wrong but not when I get splinters from hugging them.

Just doing the end of year recap thing and I've come to a few conclusions:

I'm sort of broke and I didn't travel this year because:

I saw 41 concerts (Brian Wilson, Comets on Fire, Sufjan Stevens and The Kills were highlights)

I also saw 14 dance productions (Marie Chouinard and Karine Denault..........magnifique)

bought 123 CDs and vinyls

bought too many books

and attended too...

Egads! I am so behind on music... and to think a mere three years ago I knew about shit that wouldn't get big - even with the indie kids - until months, years later! Now I am pressed to find time to dig cool new tracks, and alas, only recognize a few of the names on your list.

I'm getting better at hip-hop, though. Probably from hanging out with indie geeks.

Along with other woes, you are now also George Bush!!

Seriously though, you should suggest some hip hop tracks, I'm pathetically retarded at finding good hip hop.

Common and Quasimoto being the only two hip hop albums I bought this year.

This has to be the album of the year, so brilliant.

I offer nothing but adoration and genuflexion to Betty Davis (Miles davis' wife, not the actress).

Her hard funk is just magic to my ears and feet.

I am declaring a fatwa on people that say "I hope you're going to play something I know" to DJs.

What, if a song has rythm but you don't know it you can't move/dance??? WTF

On another note, I will be having some tasty spaghetti sauce I made and I think I'll serve it over some sghetti squash. Yum
