Kernel Mustard

I guess it’s technically Saturday at this point, but it’s close enough. In keeping with Bruce Schneier’s habit of off-topic blogging on Fridays, I am unable to resist talking about music for a second.

The night started off with the purchase of an Airport Express to replace a slightly flaky and recently regifted wi-fi router. I’m currently listening to Dylan on the only good non-headphone speakers I own and wondering what the heck took me so long. The speakers are finally going to get used again in this post-CD world.

Then I headed over to watch Evan, our VP of Sales, play a rip-roarin’ acoustic set at a local bar. I arrived to Highway to Hell and departed on Margaritaville, if that tells you how inebriated they were at the time. Two guitars, some bongo drums, and an electric bass, plus about 50 empty cuervo shots, and you have a recipe for fun! I, however, had only cuatro equises.

Now I’m sitting here wondering what exactly I’m going to play on guitar/bass/drums for a few tracks tomorrow on a bit of a demo CD for my brother Scott, who’s just getting out into the music world after finishing his Master’s degree from Juilliard. Oh, and while I’m on the subject, congrats to Scott and his fiancee Heather on their recent engagement, which was announced this weekend.

And finally, I can’t help writing just one more time about how excellent of a song Tangled Up in Blue is. It’s currently playing on AirTunes. What a great way to christen a new music toy.
