Of Recordings

I just got back from a trip for Day Job.  Some notes:

• The guy next to me on the flight out was definitely cranking House of Pain on his iPod.
• The iPod game Phase is a great way to pass time on a plane.  On this more later.
• You find Kaosillators where you least expect them.
• If you download a bunch of podcasts before a flight, you should make sure you have the “sync podcasts to my iPod” button turned on.
• I greatly enjoyed guitar goddess Kaki King’s new-to-me record Dreaming Of Revenge.  30-second review: “Pull Me Out Alive” has the best hook; “Montreal” has the best guitar work; “Saving Days In A Frozen Head” has the best line; and “Can Anyone Who Has Heard This Music Really Be A Bad Person?” has the best title.
• If you have time to kill in a major American airport, and you want to meet some interesting people, find a bar showing a soccer game.
