For less than $5 a month you can have space on a web server. For a few bucks a year you can have your own domain name. With a computer at the public library and a plain text editor you can then publish a website that can be seen more or less all over the world. THAT IS PUNK ROCK. It just requires a tiny bit of knowledge and effort to do your own thing. You should do it.
Yet another music post.
We went to see St. Vincent at the Bomb Factory in Dallas a couple of weekends ago. Amazing artist.
The opening act was this band Glass Beams. I had no idea who they were. They were incredible. I bought their EP on vinyl. It’s very good, but damn, they were so much better live. The music was just hypnotic and immersive. Highly recommend. The Bomb Factory is such a horrible venue but they made it worth the misery of standing there.
Ordered four Led Zeppelin CDs the other day. One is a replacement for an old CD that was just messed up from being in the car (most likely) during the era of Car CD Players. That was a dumb era. CDs are not really durable enough for the car. Also got this 3-CD set “CODA” which is really pretty great if you are a fan, and two others I’ll post when I listen to them.
Collection of great B-sides I’d never heard before. When you have a spouse with great musical tastes great stuff just seems to materialize in the house.
Listening to music is almost always a better choice than watching TV.
Another great acquisition by my wife.
