Tuesday Remarks
Today I doubled my overall donation to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. I matched my original donation to the American Red Cross with an equal donation to the Salvation Army. I hope y'all will too.
In other news, King Sipidation has not only surpassed Manda's visit count, but he's also surpassed Google searches. The question now becomes: why doesn't he comment more often?
Remember this and this? Well, the order was completed today, as I received the second package. Looking back through the documentation, I was incorrect in that last post; The Fly single arrived via USPS, as Amazon said it would, and the other two arrived via UPS, as Amazon said they would. I've listened to the new arrival, and must say that I'm not completely impressed, but it'll work. The City of Blinding Lights Single features two live tracks, which are the sole reason for my purchase (a shorter radio edit of City of Blinding Lights isn't exactly a selling point): The Fly (Live from "Stop Sellafield" 19th June 1992) and Even Better Than the Real Thing (Live from "Stop Sellafield" 19th June 1992). I must say, I'm not as impressed with this live version of The Fly as I had hoped; it's sort of weak. If it were me, I'd have used this performance, from the Boston Elevation concert, 6th September 2001, which is the best performance of that song I've seen or heard;, or maybe the outstanding Zoo TV/Zooropa performance from Dublin, circa 1993. Then again, that's just me.
How's your Tuesday?
