Dammit, missed an hour. I blame Friday the 13th bad luck. Speaking of numbers, brief chuckle today when flight 666 arrived at Helsinki airport (IATA code: HEL) today. The only thing that would've made it better is if the plane had come from Singapore (from SIN to HEL). |

The new Mary Halvorson (first Septet) record is great! 'Illusionary Sea'. As is the new Kayo Dot ('Hubardo), which I'm slightly surprised to find that nothing has been aired by anyone on WFMU from it, including the tracks that were available for streaming prior to and after it's release Aug. 30th. |

@Kurt: I think we're all thankful for no Yanni on cue. Seriously, had to go to google to get his full name, and google offers for "other searches made by people who searched for Yanni": Enya, Vangelis, Kenny G and Richard Clayderman. Oy. Although I suspect Ken could make an entertaining and terrifying feature for his show based on these google searches: google a performer and then play them and the 4-5 other names that are offered by google to accompany the name. |

@Caryn: the guy in charge of sales at work has been a recidivist collaborator of Vangelis. Saying that name within his earshot gets you a mandatory minimum sentence of one hour of dreadful stories about that guy and how the olympics made him rich enough to bail out Greece, though he won't |

Although, I did catch Jesse Krakow talking about KD on this Monday's Minor Music just as I was tuning in. And he mentioned their show tomorrow night at the Bowery Electric (I live in Milwaukee, otherwise I'd definitely be there). But he's friends with Toby Driver, Keith Abrams, etc. Common: I was introduced to Kayo Dot & maudlin of the Well in 2008. I've been a huge fan ever since. Choirs of the Eye is a great album, 'Pitcher of Summer' was one of the more immediate songs to hit me when being introduced to their work. I had to gather some funds in order to get the deluxe package of 'Hubardo'. Very pleased that I could. That Peter Evans piece was nice. |

@ ngh - I visited the Laphroaig distillery when i was on a golf trip to the Hebrides. The gimmick was by signing up as a 'Friend of Laphroaig' you actually got given one square foot of land (peat bog actually), with legal title as the owner and all, and the rent was a nip of whisky per year. Catch was that you had to visit the distilery to collect your 'rent'. |

@ngh: I haven't seen a place either, but I guess there will be local events around that date. You can sign up and get your plot with the card that comes with every bottle of Laphroaig. I never did, but a friend did that and got enough points to get some goodies and taunt me about it |
