Which Personality Disorder Do You Have?


Took the quiz on Facebook with the following results -- perhaps any of you who know me can comment as to its accuracy:

You have Antisocial Personality Disorder. You are extremely manipulative and you couldn't care less about other peoples' feelings, rights, or safety. You'll often go to extremes to exploit others to reach your own personal goals--even if it means murder--and you never feel even a grain of regret about it. The scary part is that people often see you as charming and charismatic, which makes it much easier for you to manipulate and exploit them until you are satisfied. Congratulations, you would fit in with the most famous of serial killers!.

Music by the Neurotic Kites

Perhaps not the genre of music to which I most frequently listen, but this is by a friend of mine in Barcelona. Let me know what you think:

New Music from Deckthree

Not sure where I happened to stumble across his music, but some good stuff:

RIP Stephen Bruton

I mostly knew of Stephen from his frequent playing with Kris Kristofferson, but he was an accomplished songwriter and performer on his own as well.

Just learned that he died recently of throat cancer. LINK

New from Neil Young

About his alternative fuel Lincoln Continental.

Perhaps not among his more artistically successful works, but....

I Ain't in the Mood for Sunshine Anyway



It's plain to see, the sun won't shine today
But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway
Maybe I'll go insane
I got to stop the pain
Or maybe I'll go down to see Kathleen.

A swallow comes and tells me of her dreams
She says she'd like to know just what they mean
I feel like I could die
As I watch her flying by
Ride the north wind down to see Kathleen.

Stars hang high above, the oceans roar
The moon is come to lead me to her door
There's crystal across the sand
And the waves, they take my hand.
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen.

Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen.

I'm Your Man


As a big fan of Leonard Cohen, I am not sure how I had missed seeing this when it came out about 4 years ago, but I did somehow. Just happened to see it at the local library yesterday so checked it out.

Heartily recommend it for anyone who likes his music.

I see most of the movie is available on youtube, so if you don't wanna look for it at Blockbuster or Netflix, here it is -- albeit in peicemeal fashion

Runaway Train



If there was ever an example of a runaway train, this BOTF thread would seem to be that.

358 posts and apparently still growing. A perfect example of what has gone so wrong with that forum.....

Leo and Loudon

About a week ago, I was bemoaning the fact that I was gonna miss the Leo Kottke and Loudon Wainwright III concert being held tonight in Park City, because my wife and I would be in Virginia for a job interview. But a couple of days ago, that interview was moved to next week.

Anyway, this morning, when I opened the Valentine's Day card from my wife, inside were tickets for the concert tonight!

Crazy Train

Posting this video mostly because the musician happens to be my wife's 12-year-old nephew. Pretty impressive, although it is not really my musical genre so perhaps I don't know whether it really is any good....
