(the version linked here is lo-fi but you can get a free monthly mp3 by registering on their site)

tim guy - cater for lovers.mp3

it's sweet. it's romantic (ohgodwhendidistartlisteningtoromanticmusic?) and just plain nice alt.country indie-pop. (maybe plain is a rude word i dunno.)

speaking of alt.country, i was hoping that cassette would be the grown-up HLAH i need these days, but after a listen at real groovy i bought the clean omnibus and left. i'll go back for another listen. (where'd the cassette site go??)

Today I have been wondering about what function (or language features) I would most like to bring into Real Life.

Some thoughts:

• gc() I probably needed more a year or two back ... but it's an obvious goodie.
• YUI's stopEvent() and stopPropagation() would be super handy*, but when I walk into a crowded room, I'd rather have jQuery at hand. Not that I go to bars very often now I'm of breeding disposition.
• I know the Python kids love from __future__ import * and who wouldn't. Except from __future__ import t2000. Grr.
• efficient redirection is critical for any useful things to get done, so hand me my pipe, without which I wouldn't be where I am today. For better or worse. Probably zero sum.

* I mean }}} (>.<) {{{ handy

this is why i prefer reading the web via RSS: content truncation
