Here come ol flat top

I'm down with Al Gore, baby. Traded in the gas-sucking red Beemer (was a sweet ride, though, sigh) for a new Mini Coop. Soundtrack for the first week's riding:

The Fratellis, Costello Music
Steely Dan, Vol 2 and 3 of the boxed set
Paolo Conte, Best of
Chet Baker, a concert bootleg Gregg got me from someone in the Netherlands
Amy Winehouse, Back to Black
Blue Oyster Cult, Agents of Fortune
mix CD daughter Kristina made for my birthday

There's a nicely condensed conversation I had recently with Damon Sgrignoli to be found over at Art Nouveau magazine.
