Notes: Limited show notes due to Route 78 West EOY operations de-briefing. As you are aware this is the anniversary of Hank William's death. It seems that sympathy would dictate Hank as the standout artist of todays show, but that is not the case. Instead Lattie Moore is dubbed A-1 tune master with, "I'm Not Broke, But I'm Badly Bent," from his CD of the same name.

I've been pondering the new year sitting on the couch with a mixed drink in hand. Sonic Youth spills out the speakers as I propel to the beyond. My optimistic feeling is based on pretty much nothing. I mean, it's 10 minutes till midnight and I'm contemplating what will be. The next dimension looms. Room light is bounced and absorbed creating coloration subdued by funereal shadows in my livingroom. I close my eyes and draw in cool air listing toward the right channel enjoying audio bias. Meditating the scene. Sedating noise = quiet. An interval passes. I clue in and relocate to my computer which indicates it is 2007 circa 23 seconds.

My 2007 mind. Move through a wire in the dark. Leave repetition dependence. Audio/video modulates thought and visa versa. De-consumption customization. Diversion toward travel.

Right about now is the exact Hank Williams time of death. For me it's just bedtime. Adios till next week.
