FYI – the concert Friday was terrific. Grace and the band were in fine form and happy to be headlining finally. It may only be rock ‘n roll… but thank God something is. The highline Ballroom was also a very civil venue. An old man can sit at a table until the lead act comes on – thereby saving my bad knee from a total relapse. But WHY am I always near the crazy guy on acid? The one doing interpretive dance moves to every song (very similar to slam dancing at times). Outside of being annoying, crazy-guy-on-acid was scaring the young girls nearby – since they have probably never seen a crazy-guy-on-acid in person before. I can think of a dozen other shows where crazy-guy-on-acid would be more appropriate…
Armin Van Buuren – “Universal Religion 2008” Live from Ibiza with a cool DJ.
Flying Saucer Attack – “Distance” Lo-fi soundscapes from 1993. Nice record.
“Christmas Party With Eddie G.” One of the great Christmas CDs of our time.
Speaking of Christmas, I added more tunes to my Christmas playlist from a reggae Christmas album called “Natty and Nice”, a collection of global holiday songs put out by Oxfam and the Roches wonderful Chirstmas record “We Three Kings”. Also added song of my son’s ska tunes from bands like Reel Big Fish, Catch 22 and 311.

Yes - I’m back! Got home yesterday officially 24 hours after I got up to catch my first plane home… and YET it was still Wednesday. I love the time space continuum!
More on the trip when I have time, but let me first sing the praises of British Airways and Business Class travel. HOORAY!!! LOVE YOU GUYS! Never had such a pleasant flight in my life! Great food (and lots of it). Good wines (and LOTS of them). Big spacious seating and many good movies to choose from (unedited). Also - because of being on Business Class, you had use of the B.A. lounge and easy transfer from one flight to the next.
Best vacation I ever had!
