	<description>&#34;He had a theory that musicians are incredibly complex, and know far less than other artists what they want and what they are; that they puzzle themselves as well as their friends; that their psychology is a modern development, and has not yet been understood.&#34; - E. M. Forster</description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just posted about the Ask MeFi thread &#8212; I actually read it a while back, but wanted to post it today, before this entry.  Oddly enough, the MeFi thread got me thinking about today, and about music and audio.
Today is my father&#8217;s birthday &#8212; he would have turned 66.  Aside from other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This sort of ties in to my Dreams/Wishes List from a few weeks ago.  Here&#8217;s a list of things I&#8217;ve wanted to do for ever so long but still haven&#8217;t gotten around to yet (I&#8217;ll probably keep adding items as I think of more):

		<description><![CDATA[Last night, for the first time in a while, I tuned in to the KNX Drama Hour, which has been on the air here on KNX 1070 AM since the 1970s, I believe.
I &#34;found&#34; it when I was about 12 years old, and it was a huge part of my life during my adolescence, during [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three or four years ago, I attempted to learn how to play Nick Drake&#8217;s &#34;From the Morning&#34; (one of my favorite songs).  I gave up after a few tries.  Maybe it was because I didn&#8217;t have the patience to &#34;get&#34; it, or maybe I just wasn&#8217;t ready.  In any case, the song [...]]]></description>

My music getting airplay on KCRW (if it&#8217;s airplay on Weekend Becomes Eclectic&#8230;please, someone catch me as I tumble to the ground).
Guest DJ on KCRW.
Be interviewed by Nic Harcourt.
Be interviewed on an NPR newsmagazine.
Get published in the New  Yorker.

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago a friend let me borrow his FED 5 camera when he heard I was into photography.  Apparently he&#8217;d had it around but never used it.  I&#8217;d read about old Soviet/Russian rangefinders but hadn&#8217;t actually held one.  So here was my chance to see one up close.

I was so shocked that I couldn&#8217;t even say anything &#8212; not even a gasp or an &#34;oh no.&#34; It looked really nasty, and when Vin Scully speculated (and hoped) that Ishii [...]]]></description>
