Musical Memory, Dreams, Readership
Different points in life often seem to have certain music associated with it. I'll always associate Pinback's first album and Autolux's "Future Perfect" with 2004, Kerry, and leaving Florida. In the same vein I'll associate The Postal Service's "Give Up" and Bloc Party's "Banquet" with 2005, Kaine campaign, and a couple of girls who shall remain nameless.
I suppose I'm subconsciously auditioning this year's albums of memory, and it's looking like The Decemberist's "Crane Wife" and Pretty Girls Make Grave's "Elan Vital". Any song that you can load on your iPod that will instantly evoke a memory is a good song. Unless it's Yakety Sax. That's not a good song.
----------------------------
I'm generally not a vivid dreamer - I almost never remember what I dream about when I wake up. And yet recently it seems like I've had a couple of interesting ones that I can recall parts of. Notably getting dental work done in an after-hours underground dentist's office. It was darkly lit, and looked almost more like a laundromat - and yet there I was, having my teeth worked on. Now I do need to get to a dentist - ever since the beer bottle I was drinking from at the 9:30 Club got elbowed accidentally by the guy next to me I've had a nice little chip that, while mostly not noticeable, is driving me crazy. I must schedule myself a dentist visit.

So my readership seems to have increased pretty dramatically in recent months. I credit my recent writings on Campaign Finance, E-Voting, and addiction to Flickr. Many of you are finding me through the various aggregators - Jewish Blogging, Lefty Blogs, Facebook, and LJ. I just want to take a moment to say thanks for checking me out, and I'm going to do what I can to keep you interested. I want to keep up regularly like I was in the time leading up to the election, but I may not always be on top of it. Just keep your eyes open, your RSS subscribed, and hopefully you'll have a good read.
