Is This Interesting?
Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:

It’s time, my friends, to release the long-awaited Playing: Live at Café Mundi. As you may recall, Matt the Electrician and I recorded two sets back in July, and we scored fifteen whole songs that meet our standards of musical excellence.

These tracks have been sharpened and honed over the past five years we’ve been performing together, and we wrote several of them in response to Song Title Challenges. The CD contains see-saw action, back and forth, just like the Pirate Circus segment of our traditional Wednesday night show.

Copies will be available tonight for $10. Oh, and we’ll be performing as well, for Matt has finally returned from Japan.

Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:

Thanks to Mental Floss.

Often I hook up a plant and just go about my business, then observe what makes it respond. One day back in New York City I was making coffee. The coffee maker we had in the lab was a dripolater, where you put a teakettle on, boil the water, pour it in, and it drips down. We normally didn’t empty the teakettle, but just topped it off later. This particular day, however, I needed the teakettle for something else, and so poured the scalding water down the sink. The plant being monitored showed huge reactions. It turns out that if you don’t put chemicals or very hot water down the sink for a long time, a little jungle begins to grow down there. Under a microscope it’s almost as scary as the bar scene in Star Wars. Well, the plant was responding to the death of the microbes.
