BACKGROUND HISS I am listening to my old vinyl after finally sorting it out over the weekend. Amazing what you find to do when you have a deadline hanging over you. I'd forgotten how annoying it was having to flip the damn things after six or so songs. I usually have an MP3 playlist that lasts for 24 hours... I remember we used to have a record player that allowed you to stack 10 LPs. After the first side of the first record was played out it dropped the second record down on top with a THUD and the sound of vinyl hitting spinning vinyl. Nasty. It also played havoc with the continuity when listening to concept albums. You are just about to find out what happened to Sister Mary on Operation: Mindcrime and then Voivod cuts in... The day is unwinding well. I just finished the first part of an interview with Henry Rollins and now have a bunch of other stuff to write up. Tanit sent me a link to a whole community set up around the Skin project. I haven't had time to read all the stuff on there but it seems a good place to hang if you are considering getting one of the remaining words inked on your body. Time to start thinking about lunch...
