Now that I have speakers on my computer at work, I can start listening to music that I've never heard. Well, after everyone else has gone home and the cleaning people are cleaning around me, like tonight. I listened to Sleater-Kinney for the first time a minute ago. Maybe I'll go find out who They Might Be Giants are next.
Speaking of music, allow me to promote my nephew, the jazz trumpter, Erik Jekabson. There was a very nice mention of him in a article in the Chronicle recently.
