I have, like Too $hort, also rapped 225,000 hours. How odd.

I think that a resurgence of non-crappy music is about to begin in a larger way. It seems that there are suddenly enough good things coming out all at once that it may be signifying the new sound for this era. About time too. I don’t know what is supposed to be hip, but I do know that all of the stuff I have been hearing for years has been pretty bad. Pop, the so called alternative music, and hip-hop have really been sucking for a while. Maybe as long as eight years. It is only now that there seems to be a little innovation. I just hope this creativity doesn’t get swallowed up by the existing crap, as has happened in the past.

In addition to Tally Hall, I also like the newly popular OK Go, though it may be for their clever videos, more than the quality of their music. Either way, I think that they are on the right track.

In other news, we have started to work on the house again after an extended layoff. There is still a substantial amount to do, but hopefully we can get all of the upstairs finished, at least in general, by this winter. There are still walls and stuff to finish, but the largest job is still the hardwood, that has now been sitting, piled up, for more than a year. At least it had time to acclimate to the environment in the house. Other major things still include the Kitchen and the exterior, though for the outside I think most of the work will be done by someone less half-assed than we. I think we will have to wait until at least next spring to start on those things, mostly due to the larger costs they represent.

This goes out to Tojo, who will undoubtedly follow in this guy’s footsteps.
