About Me

Trane used to call me "the teacher" and it was hard for him to bring up that he wanted to leave; I would find it out from other people he had told. But he did bring it up finally and we made a compromise: I turned him on to Harold Lovett as a manager to handle his financial affairs. And then Harold got him a recording contract with Nesuhi Ertegun at Atlantic Records, who had always loved his playing since Trane had first come into the group. Trane had been doing some things for Prestige as a leader, which I turned him on to, but as usual, Bob Weinstock wasn't paying no real money.

baby names

What would be the best name for the baby girl that two people in my department had on Saturday? The graphic design department that I work in, that is? I think 'Helvetica'.

Adventures in growing old: Part 1

Occasionally you catch yourself doing something TERRIBLY grown up. I had to rush home from work today to marinade some tuna steaks. Truly, my childhood is over.

Going to Covent Garden?

Why does this poster on the Piccadilly Line say: "Avoid the crowds by walking there from Holborn or Leicester Square", when adding just one extra word would give you: "Avoid the crowds by walking ther...

Never felt so simple/so prodigious at the same time...

Take a look at http://elouai.com - a weird Japanese (?) site where you can make a weird Japanese cartoon version of yourself. I did. As did, so far, Em, and Jon. Hundreds of shoes/eyes/haircuts/trouse...
