I have to share three things:

A) I need new music. I love new music, and I’m tired of hearing crap every time I turn on the radio. I don’t care if it’s from 1920 or 2004, GIMMEGIMMEGIMME! And I swear, if one of you recommends something “alternative” like The Strokes’ latest album, I have a spoon for your eye. I’m talking good shit that nobody has heard of, or at least nobody our age or in our country, I’m talking Asian Kung-Fu Generation, I’m talking The Handsome Family, Tegan and Sara, Jorge Negrete, Manu Negra (y Manu Chau), Sezen Aksu, Dum-Dum Project, Erin Keown, David Wilcox, Toni Price, Yukari Fresh/Rotten, Electric Eel Shock, Hell on Wheels, Femi Kuti, you get the damn point. Gimme.

B) Work and wedding invitations are taking my time. My apologies for not getting “Courthouse Ho’s” further along. Maybe by Sunday I’ll have something for you.

C) “A truck carrying 9,000 gallons of pigs' blood was rear-ended and spilled its entire cargo on the German autobahn Wednesday, forcing the highway to close for several hours.” There is a God after all…
