liftoff

In soon- it's- the- holidays rain and fog
The other week this computer's start button pushed in and had to be fixed
, have been catching up since then . Interviews , CDR's in the mail, email
but some work slows to nothing .
Do a music mix through the afternoon , look through to end of year , rain , dark .
Mal and Jennifer host a big turkey dinner tomorrow for friends

the other week i caught MTV's Jay -Z - Linkin Park mashup .
Better then expected energy , solid progression performance wise for J from Kid Rock or Roots live to Linkin .
Linkin play together well , "99 Problems" mashup fairly burned

after rding about Michael Wolff & Impure Thoughts show at Jazz Standard in last wk's Voice 'Short List' - with Badal Roy on tablas , Airto Moreira too , 'plenty of liftoff' promised
i was so ready to go and hear them but missed them
and the Bon priest on LES , rocks @ Asia Society ,
Ghost member playing with Damon & Naomi from Galaxy 500,
Grandmaster Caz , Vitalic,
missed the GhettoFab @SkyLoft , ~scape @ SubTonic and
Dance Idiot Dance night Sat. with DMX Crew , Paper Rad shows
as well

with bears running amok , monkeys attacking , boys killing parents , Koizumi visits shrine again in Japan , N Korea's mixed signals , Ukraine election mysteries
- without even mentioning Iraq - every day - you just don't know

some mood here too , in the people , the air , the city
not sure exactly what it is - irrreality ?
