Been thinking about ways to keep this interesting for me as well as you folks. To remain as some sort of filter to hopefully separate the wheat from the guff is paramount. However, as my attention span disintegrates daily, it's been a chore lately. Perhaps it's an age thing. Maybe it's the sheer volume (as in quantity, not decibel level) of rubbish that one has to navigate through on a minute by minute basis. Chances are it's a cumulative total of a whole raft of evils that come together to suck the will to live right out of one's being but then a song like "Overdosing With You" comes along and for the 2.41 running time, all the nonsense fades into the background. Click here to hear it for yourself on the BTV myspace.

Another day, another dollar. Almost literally. And no new Sopranos episode this week to glint away at the end of the long, dank tunnel today. Are you familiar with the expression "I can't be arsed" ? I'm pretty sure you are. More later if this thing isn't so slugglish. I'm talking about the computer now, not me. Although it's a photo finish surely.

Greetings Friend,
Please join Susquehanna Industrial Tool & Die Co. this week at Otto's Shrunken Head for a large helping of near-patented "Ballads, Boogies & Blues" -- not to mention a free drawing of near-fabulous prizes, conducted by the mysterious and alluring Raffle Girl! On hand, as always, will be your barkeep Pam, DJ Scratchy ("He's Square...He's Yellow...He's Solid State!") and snack bowls brimming with salty goodness. And, believe it or not, no cover charge. Crazy, huh?
