And no. It's not a reference to the late, great FIXX of the new wave era. (But I should have something to say about that whole thing shortly).
It seems everything is changing, and yet - not so much. Reason being is that out of the blue, I got a very nice fan mail today from someone in New Zealand, so I took a look back at some of the stuff I've written over the past couple of years, and realized that although the flavour sometimes changes, the taste remains the same. This, of course is also a back-handed compliment to our Eternal Majesty and Benevolent Overlord Neil Peart, whom I continually rip off his massively usable line from The Circumstances: "Plus ça change, Plus c'est la même chose, The more that things change, The more they stay the same". (Rush, Hemispheres, Rel. 1978).
As always the Flux Capacitor is running about 110% of nominal, changes are afoot, and I'm a trifle verklempt. It's reassuring to see that all systems are still running smoothly. So during these days of stress, uncertainty, self questioning and such, rather than to vent - I found this fantastic ad by Sony a couple of days ago. Then spent the last couple of days figuring out to embed HD code into this blog.
Amidst the thousands of lay-offs, and massive evil that huge, multinational corporations perpetrate on us unwilling saps on a daily basis, I'm not particularly a big fan of them and what they practice doing for a living - but I WILL give them this though - the millions of dollars spent to those high end advertising agencies sometimes really are dollars well spent.
This is Jose Gonzalez's AWESOME cover of The Knife's barely listenable (piece of trash ) song "Heartbeats". Jose did a Karl Rove for sure. (Took a turd - and made it blossom), he's turned it into something that rivals the late, great Nick Drake.
I've just been sitting here, just listening, just doing my thing, but I keep coming back to this on a Sunday night, and it makes me think about other things, least among them dropping 300,000 bouncy balls downhill in San Francisco on a beautiful summer day.
For some strange reason, I've also got a sudden, uncontrollable compulsion to go out and purchase myself a spanky, brand new, expensive Sony Bravia.
