When Did I Bury My Dreams Of Running?

Y'know, it's funny how things change. The following playlists are New Stuff CDs 9 and 10, which, heh heh, have never been commited to an actual CD (as is true for about half of these playlists of mine) thanks to iPods. Specifically, my iPod which no longer functions. I mean, it plays just fine and everything, but the controls are completely shot. Poor thing. I got it during Tekko 2012? 2013? Somewhere around there. Now it sits aside my computer desk gathering dust - and I use my phone to listen to music.

But it doesn't stop there. I'm working in Cranberry, I drive a Ford, I pretty much officially quit smoking, I've lived to see B&LE 643 preserved (somehow) and instead of moving to the South Side I've taken over my grandfather's house. He passed away in 2017.

So yeah, things are not the same as they were when I started this blog, and furthet changed from the blog's heyday. But somehow, I have ended up with some new music. It's one of the few things that hasn't changed - I still manage to find some interesting stuff out there, even though it's less from WYEP these days, and often just random stuff from online - either YouTube or especially Bandcamp these days. And yes I'm still picking up stuff on vinyl. 

So I guess I could play some catch-up.

** Ahura Mazdah, is this a blast from the past. I remember watching this in the cafeteria at Penn-Ken. Unfortunately it's mosly an anti-Bush screed, but the music is pretty and the musc video was kinda cool. Oh well.
