<p class=MsoNormal>On the edge of intellectual collapse, if I ever find out who
convinced me that I should get a PhD in Chinese History I’m going to
punch them in the nose. I’m studying for finals and dying to get
into my studio and make some tunes – something I haven’t been able
to do for the past several years and now I’m only a week or so away from
getting some time this summer. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Listening to VNV Nation Future Perfekt…<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I’m in a place right now where it is pretty awesome.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Also drinking what I’m calling a Stormfront, my take
on the Dark and Stromy:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1oz Homemade Falernum<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2oz Matusalem 15 year old rum<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1 oz Cruzan Blackstrap Rum<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Shaken with crushed ice and strained into a glass with ice
cubes<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Float 1 tablespoon of the Blackstrap on top and a single
drop of Angastora bitters (Fee Brothers is best!)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Last week a discussion cropped up on Analogue Heaven which
the Admins shutdown just as it was starting to become interesting. I’ll
bring it up here as there is a better and more tolerant audience. What
distinguishes music from noise? Where is the line and what does that line
mean?<o:p></o:p></p>
