Good morning, all! I slept late and, once I get moving, I need to do some banking first thing. I've also got a trip to the post office. After that, the day gets easier: wrapping a few late Christmas gifts, working on my taxes.
Tonight, I'm having dinner in midtown with my friend Bruce Pomahac, whose gift still hasn't arrived from Amazon.co.uk.
Things are exciting on the castrecordinglist: two of my least favorite posters, both arrogant fools, are engaged in ugly duel. I suppose the bigger fool deserves it because he continually pulls an "I'm leaving this group" whenever his nose is out of joint, yet he always comes back to post more stupidity; he's living proof that a lot of working critics are complete fools, legends in their own minds, but completely clueless. For a working music critic, he's the stupidest man I've ever encountered. I can't wait for round two.
And so to work.
