]]> Check out what I’ve read, heard, or watched recently.

Last Watch: Wraps us the 4 book series, ending similar in idea to Golden Compass series. Lost Symbol: Interesting because it's set in DC. Order 66: Makes me want to play the originating video game again! Infoquake: Part 1 of trilogy - melding of many sci-fi ideas into cool futuristic novel. MultiReal: Part 2 of trilogy - cliff hanger ending like SW:ESB. P&P&Z: Probably way better than just P&P, but I never read that one. District 9: Save the prawns! Balkan Beat Box: Good beats w/ brass, has lyrics. Blaqk Audio = AFI + Techno Freestylers: more of the good stuff. Mylo: Very nice! Princess Superstar: Not as good as the remixed I heard on the electronica music channel.

This spans several months of entertainment.

Today on my way home from work I was listening to NPR and they did a music review on the new CD out by Amadou & Miriam, Welcome to Mali.  We first heard about Amadou & Miriam during a previous music review on NPR back in 2005 or 2006, when they discussed their CD Dimanche a Bamako.  After listening to the music clips and hearing the story about the artists, we bought the first CD.  Then, maybe a year ago or so, while browsing the music selection at Best Buy, we purchased a second CD of theirs, Je Pense a Toi: The Best of Amadou & Miriam.  I’ve throughly enjoyed the 2 CDs we’ve purchased, so when NPR introduced me to their newest CD today, I made a mental note to myself to add the CD to my Amazon wishlist.   A transcript of the CD review and audio (available after 7pm EST) are available on NPR’s website.

The difficulty that I am having now is figuring out how to make the show an enjoyable experience for Kathryn. The show either starts at 8 pm or that’s when the doors open, it’s at the Black Cat, and there are two opening bands. Will she make it so late? Will she be hungry? Will she be able to sit or will her ankles swell up? I hope she can make it because my little baby girl needs to experience some great music!
