Grammofonpladebutikkers dag

I bet that even in Danish, which has some of the longest words I have ever encountered, there is a shorter word than 'grammofonpladebutik' for 'record store.' I don't know it, though, so that will do. The word's not so important, anyway. What's important is this -- Satuday (19. april) was record store day. This was the first year it took place, so of course I did not find out until after the fact -- Sunday morning, to be exact. To be honest, this is probably a good thing; otherwise I would have used the occasion as an excuse to actually go to a record store, meaning I would inevitably wind up buying a couple records, something that a person of my delicate financial situation should not be doing. However, I will take this (albeit belated) opportunity to remind everyone to buy records -- from the musicians themselves, or local indie retailers, if you can.

Also of interest -- I have updated the blog links list a bit. Among the additions is One Weekly Gun, which is I guess not really a blog, but close enough. For those of you unfamiliar with the project, he writes and posts one song every week about a world news event. The song for week 16, We Will Happily Sedate You, was posted yesterday. It's about China, and all that...
