It’s at times like this that I start to have a little empathy for the villains of a 1970’s Chevy Chase/Goldie Hawn movie. Ya J-Dubs feel free to stuff my security door with Watchtowers, but keep yer dirty theocracy away from the government, thank you very much. Currently in the earholes:

It’s been high time for a rewatch of the James Bond film series, and since I’ve been spending my typewriter money on DVD’s at the thrift store these days, my selection of the nice MGM digital restorations with director’s commentary has grown.

The Navidrome also clued me in that I somehow had yet *another* “101 Strings” album; “East of Suez“, which I liked a lot too, but that one is decidedly all orchestral. According to the wikiwiki, “101 Strings” is more of a brand rather than a band, a brand that was sold to a number of […]
