Random Musings

This post isn't really about arts, culture or communication.  It's about moving.  Why?  Because I spent the weekend hauling boxes and sorting through all my possessions.  Well, some of them.  The rest are stacked behind me in the den.  When you move, you really realize just how much stuff you have and how much of it is probably unnecessary.  It's a time to start fresh, to reinvent your life by reinventing your space.  Talk about pressure.  Never has the placement of a table held so much meaning.   The options are endless...

In other news, and news that is arts & culture related - Tegan and Sara's new album Sainthood comes out on Tuesday.  I'm taking a first listen on their MySpace right this minute, and I love it. Of course, that's pretty much a given as I've been a fan of T&S since '99 or '00.  They constantly reinvent themselves and push their musical boundaries.  And then there's the fact that they have this really authentic connection with their fans that starts with their on-stage banter during live shows.  Check out the album.  I ordered the deluxe version online that comes with three books they've penned as well as an autographed piece of art.  That's going to be a happy mail day.  Their official website is here.
