free music

I phoned my brother, Hawk, last night, to check when he's getting married and he was telling me he got roped into playing with a pick-up band last Friday, because the band that had been scheduled bailed. The group got to practice together a couple of hours before the gig, and worked out about 45 minutes worth of music, and then went on stage. "Normally if I can see the rythm guitarists left hand I'm alright, but I couldn't see anyone's hands when we were on stage, and I couldn't remember anything about what I'd played earlier." But about fifteen of his drunken classmates showed up just as they finished what they had practiced and started screaming at them to 'play another!' so they ended up playing for two hours.

Recording here, though I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet so I can't vouch for anything, not even the genre. My guess is you'll get what you pay for. ;)
Pick-up band at Slainte, 1-21-12.

Also, I expect that if you peruse LintyBit's stuff you can get more of the same.

om nom nom!

Last night I made a beef curry, and for something different I put in three largish potatoes, cut fairly small, in order to thicken it, let them fall apart, and when I thought I had about ten minutes of cooking time left added a double handful of cubed jicama. Eor thinks jicama would be better in a korma, but I thought it worked out pretty well. :)

Tonight we had leftovers (there's TONS of leftovers) and went to town on the chutneys - broke out those cyberquail sent us over a year ago (we opened them in August, and they're still fine. :)) I particularly like the pear chutney! And Eor made his famous garlic chutney, and made pappadums (so glad he learned how to do those in the oven, he's getting very good at them.)

I also took out a little of cyberquail's mincemeat and it's waiting to go on top of ice-cream, when I've recovered a little. :)

I should really go walk on the treadmill for a while. I didn't really overeat, but I haven't walked for like four days and... yeah. Exercise would be good.
