Time Thief

Here’s a month’s worth of new music found since the last post. Summer’s turning busy, and too bad it feels almost over. You just can’t deny the sun’s angle in the sky and the way it makes you feel like autumn. And the fact that sunrise is closing in on 7am again. Highlight of the summer/year so far is reuniting with old friends that I lost contact with some 20+ years ago. What an incredible 18 or so hours. Much too short but it sounds like we may hopefully be able to get together again in the not so distant future. I just can’t stop thinking about everybody. Gregg: I apologizing for smiling giddily for the first few hours non-stop pretty much before someone hit FF on father time and before you knew it, I was not able to express myself fully and find out more about whatcha been doin’, as Oberon and lack of sleep was fucking with us all. Fun Beatles set though. And it’s difficult to get back to the daily routine, and the inevitability of lots of change/very busy days ahead, in the near future with school, soccer, etc. Blarggie, blarggie.
