Groundhog Day

Yesterday was Groundhog Day. February 2nd.

And just because we don't all believe that a groundhog can forecast the weather for the next 6 weeks doesn't mean we can't enjoy the festivities. And watch Groundhog Day with Bill Murray.

It's such a good movie. On so many levels.

I should probably blog about why this movie is good.

But it's late and I figure I would just throw it out there and see what happens.

Maybe another time.

Helping out

The past few days have been a real experience.

Last night I heard jazz at snug harbor.

Just this morning I attended a clinic lead by Ron Carter. If you've never heard of him, shame on you. Ron Carter is likely the most-recorded jazz bassist of all time. He's played on 2,500 albums more or less--an upright bass player whose noteworthy accomplishments range from Miles Davis to A Tribe Called Quest. And even more than that. More than I could think of, to say the least.

A few minutes ago, my friend DJ Orsa asked me to help spread his music. I got a chance to hear this stuff and I thought it was a great addendum to my listenings these past few days. Also a perfect topic to blog on.

I'm sure some of you out there are into electronica and dance, and I know you'd all enjoy it.

So give this hyperlink a click

and enjoy this music.

Also, I'm sure DJ Orsa wants feedback as much as he wants his music to be spread.

Share it and let him know what you think.

Do you believe in Karma?

Just asking.

Well. Do you?

Moods

Recently I've been spending my inspiration on music and conversation. Listening to music, playing music; talking to people.

But I feel like maybe I'm cheating some of this inspiration. Wasting it. Like when energy is in transit--a little piece is always lost as heat. It's like I'm along for the ride. Taking the A Train, but not really ready to get off at any point. I don't mean to sound despairing--it's not like I don't know where to get off, it's just that I'm having so much fun on this ride that I'm not ready to go out there just yet.

So where does this bus stop? Where do I get off? I could write some more. Hey, as we speak, I'm spilling out these words. I mean, this feels great. Blogging. God, I love blogging. This is something I should get back into.

Try it out. Blast your favorite tracks. Go along for the ride. Don't go against the flow. Let it take you where it wants, because it's usually where you need to be.

Study Hard, Now

Indulge

Have Fun
