In The

[ateolf]

I got a bunch of cds in the mail. The first package was an order from Thrill Jockey with Matmos: Metallic Life Review and The Body: The Crying Out of Things (the former being a pre-order and the latter having been released last year). The other package was a big order from a record store having a big clearance sale on their stock of stuff from the Klanggalerie label (wasn't even familiar with it before, but they had lots of good stuff): MX-80 Sound: Better than Life; Section 25: Jams from the Bardo; Chrome: Ghost Machine; Rhys Chatham/David Fenech: Tomorrowstartstonight; Section 25: Duette; Charles Hayward: Crossfade Estate; Andrea Centazzo/Elisabeth Harnik: Duophonic Landscape; Charles Hayward: (Begin Anywhere); Massimo Toniutti: Variation Séculaire Géomagnétique; Regular Music: s/t; Núria Andorrá/Fred Frith: Dancing like Dust; Annie Lewandowski/Fred Frith: Long as in Short, Walk as in Run; Fred Frith: Woodwork; Lol Coxhill & Fred Frith: French Gigs; Rapoon: These Are Dreams; and M. B.: Oirt Emo-Dne. So uh, lots of listening to get done. In the evening towards dusk Mary Beth and I went on a walk around the neighborhood. Then we watched the Anthony Bourdain episode with Obama, the later Vietnam one at the end of Obama's presidency. Whew, really feeling the exercise in my legs today.
