most hours of many days, im happy in downtown Toronto. Montreal was a blast the year i lived there. Boston has treated me well several occasions. lots of great places, and the prospect of so many more yet to come. However.... some of you know, and now some others will too, that for 3 years growing up, ages 4-7, I lived in Rio, and well, i bet if you try, you could google the Copacabana Palace hotel. if you see that, that was where i lived for those years, across the street from the beaches of Rio. I would like to go there, please, Shain.

Thank you all for kind words, this site and its inhabitants can say some awefully wonderful things. You're all very kind. Brad, ive read that piece of yers before, its lovely. As for me, the only real thing ive thought of, like most of you alluded to already, is the music id want. no doubt, Joy Division's "Atmosphere" would have to be played. Sorry in advance if anything (god forbid) ever happens to me, cuz its a sad song, and it might bumm you out if you come. (despite how this may read, im really not suicidal, im just high, and morbidly thoughtful.) Thanks again, Jambands, much love to you all.

very belated, but many happy returns, Julia.

will there be some TonyRage action on bass, Jay? either way, im gonna try to make it.

I spent today at a funeral for a lovely young woman, who was taken from us last Sunday evening, at 36 years old, from a year-long battle with Brain Cancer. It always brightens my heart at a funeral when there's a good crowd of friends, family and loved ones, to share and remenisce of days gone by. Wonder who'll turn up at mine? I cant imagine a crowd like Judy got today (prob 250-300 people), but its given me something else to think about in all of this. sorry if this seems morbid and fatalistic, just something my brain's been playing with.

July 16,2007 Slint @ The Phoenix. Tortoise and Slint in the same month? suits me. go, Summer, go!

you like weird pop shytt? heard the Cocorosie album yet? The 4th track on it is called "Japan". It's one of the strangest things ive heard in ages. Go, find it, and listen to it.

what a good idea, Todd. but im missing the Bobby.

Dave Evil yer a well-inspiring fellow, well done. We dine well here in Camelot, We eat ham, and jam, and spam a lot.

for fast, technical piano virtuosity, check out Art Tatum. Dexter Gordon - Ballads Dave Brubeck - Time Out Duke Ellington - Newport '56 (make sure that its a version that has "Crescendo/Diminuendo" on it. Porbably the best jazz ive ever heard. Its legendary in jazz circles for the mammoth Tenor Sax solo from Paul Gonsalves.

dang! im in england by then. oh well, great show anyway.

yes!! tony "freakin'" rage. woo-hoo!!!

happy birthday Ari. continued enjoyment of yer travels.
