Music
I got to spend some quality time with the headphones on at work. My conclusion from today's selection is that I like Cypress Hill and Wu Tang Clan, but not so much Eminem. Perhaps I should be fair and listen to another few tracks, but I just don't find myself entertained by someone making a specific point of trying to offend me.
Later on, I enjoyed some live music at Slim's with Judi, Vincent, and Patrick. Petty Booka opened: ukelele punk from Tokyo. I found it amusing that with some of the songs they covered I could understand the lyrics better than the original even though their native language is Japanese. We now own two of their CDs.
The main act was Aquabats, who I hadn't seen or heard of before. I'm sure I would have enjoyed the music more if I'd heard their songs before, but I sure liked the show. They didn't seem to take themselves too seriously (how could they, with those uniforms?) and their background video was great. I think my personal highlight was their spreading punk culture to the next generation by getting the little kids in the audience to stage dive (the smallest one with more than a little help leaving the stage.)
