#571: Etc.....

Got bored with the CD's I had at work, so reverted back 2 cassette tapes again over the past week. I have a WAY wider selection of music on tape, & way more weird stuff -- but ended up playing mostly the same tried&true rock&roll oldies I've bn playing over the past year Bcos they've proven 2 B the best motivational stuff. No point doing a playlist, Bcos they're all items I've listed B4.
Think I might B in a bit of a rut, musically, & I'll B working on that. Got a stack of new-2-me CD's I haven't gotten 2, + some vinyl I haven't played yet....
Think I've DEFINITELY gotten in2 a rut here at the Back-Up Plan -- same thing happened last yr & 2 yrs ago. Always seem 2 back off a bit during the summer.
This time, tho, things R a little diffrent. I've already slowed down. Back in the winter I had ideas 4 posts all the time -- I was posting something about every day & 1/2 (take a look). But now the ideas R not popping in2 my head like they were then. & tho there's lots I'd still like 2 write about, I don't wanna get 2 the point where it's like I'm repeating myself. Might B there already....
So. I'm gonna slow down a little. But I want the dozen or so of you Regular Readers out there 2 know, I'M NOT STOPPING. I can't see NE reason I would ever stop doing this until the time comes when I can't breathe or type. & Ghod bless you all 4 reading this stuff.
But I am gonna try 2 think of some new approaches 2 freshen it up a little around here....
I still havta report on Max Barry's JENNIFER GOVERNMENT, whenever I get finished with it. It IS funny & fast-paced & worth your time if you're in2 screwball comedy or satire.
I also grabbed a copy of Mick Brown's bio on Virgin head Richard Branson, THE INSIDE STORY, so I can learn more about the early days of Virgin Records -- that would B the Mike Oldfield/Gong/Hatfield and the North/Henry Cow period, up thru Branson's adventures with the Sex Pistols. But way B4 Paula Abdul & the Rolling Stones joined the label. I'll have a report on that, 2.
Have some other things cookin, but haven't bn listening 2 much music lately outside of work, & that's bn the Same Old Stuff. But something will always nudge me enuf 2 write about it here -- something I've heard or that I'm reading, or something will push me in2 some nostalgia trip that I'll post here. (Was thinking 2nite at work -- Is Ringo's best drumming EVER on "Ticket to Ride" & "No Reply"?) I have Newspaper stuff & Air Force stuff I wanna write about & haven't gotten 2 yet, 1nce I figure out how 2 get a handle on it.... & I'm supposed 2 have a week's vacation coming up here sometime soon....
Anyway. MayB it's cos of vacation time coming up, or Bcos the weather here has run the gamut from monsoons 2 mugginess (but not hot), & my allergies have bn kickin my ass 4 the last week.... Anyway, things will probly B a little slower here. But hopefully better. Not the Same Old Stuff. More laffs.
Hope you'll check back....
