We hit about 85 degrees yesterday. Summer's going to be long and brutal.
Faith No More – Epic
I love a good flying V. The only thing: you can't really play them sitting down.
A few naughty words sprinkled in for flavor. And some Technotronic too, apparently.

FMD 2-6-15: Mixmaker, make me a mix
I need to postpone my thoughts on last week's discussion about good music for a girl who is just maybe starting to feel angsty. (Even though I see Tori Amos has new expanded reissues coming out for her Earthquakes and Pink. (Missing the Carl Craig remixes of "God" there, grumble grumble.))
Tomorrow is EAR's birthday and it's now tradition or something that I make her a mix CD. This might be number 15. I've tapped most of what I think she'd like, or what I want to share. I don't not want to make her a CD, I just don't have any strong-enough ideas for it right now. As I write this, I've got like 36 hours tops, and that involves sleeping and working and putting kids to bed and so I don't have time to talk about that other stuff. Next week?
February 6, 2015: Victory
I got the credit card paid off yesterday and the Milkmaid and I had a small celebration. Next thing: getting back home.
