Sort of been on vacation for July, not really been thinking too much about the blog. Been playing a bunch of WoW, but in recent days I have been becoming really disillusioned by the game. It is not the game, it is the people that play it and effect my enjoyment of the game. When other folks disrupt what I am doing over and over it gets old quick. I get nothing done I would like which makes leveling go slower.
I set up a CD to help in my savings. I feel like may be getting ahead in the whole game. It feels good to have money set aside that I hopefully will not touch for a good long time.
Been really getting into podcasting. Found some good shows one of which I wrote about in an earlier post, Accident Hash. Others I have been listening to are:
tartanpodcast - podcast from Scotland highlighting all sorts of music
Closet Deadhead - selected songs from the Grateful Dead including interviews with band members and fans.
Coverville- Focuses on cover songs with other songs mixed in.
I cant get enough of this media type. Great music without the crap of commercial radio produced by people that truly love the music they play. It really reminds me of how I felt in the early 90s in college where new great music was coming out all the time or so it seemed. Greensboro at that time had a great music scene going on and being so close to Carrboro and the Cat's Cradle and Ziggy's in Winston Salem allowed opportunities to see great bands. But for some reason people stopped going to clubs to see bands. Maybe its the economy, maybe it is how the music industry in conjunction with mainstream radio has made it so difficult for any type of music other than what has made their playlists to be heard by numbers of folks. Now, with podcasts, I am finding great new music to listen to. It has even crossed my mind to do a podcast myself focusing on bands from NC. Stay tuned and see where this may go.
