Red Wine Rage: October 2008
http://redwinerage.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2008. Shred, baby, Shred! Originally uploaded by ibcbulk. I don't have a paper shredder at home, so I keep two separate piles of paper: one for recycling, and one to take to the office to get shredded. I often think, "What's the point? The chances of anything happening are small and I can deal with it if it does. The lesson: you can never be paranoid enough! Monday, October 20, 2008. I was riding by on my bike last Thursday, and it had a sale pending. Seriously, I just decided that I ...

Red Wine Rage: February 2009
http://redwinerage.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 14, 2009. This is a long post. Your listening assignment for today, Metamorphosis 4. Is also pretty long. So you may as well download the mp3. Now and listen while you read. I'm all excited because Monday I finally get to hear Philip Glass' Music in 12 Parts. This is a massive. Though written in the early 70's, this is one of the few times it has ever been performed in its entirety, and the first on the West Coast. In rhythmic complexity, with simultaneous meters as well as abrupt sequ...

Red Wine Rage: December 2008
http://redwinerage.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2008. To be continued.). Saturday, December 27, 2008. A Tree Dies in Berkeley. The day before xmas, I went to Andronico's to stock up on provisions to last me through that long, cold day where everything is closed. Perhaps fearing that the $2 price tag was beyond my reach, he absolutely insisted. That he give me one. There ensued a very confused minute or two as he tried, by shouting across the store, to get an un-comprehending bag-boy to put one of these hideous things into my u...

Red Wine Rage: August 2008
http://redwinerage.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 29, 2008. When eating this cake, where would you begin? With the head, of course. But should you dig into the brains with an ice-cream scoop or should you extract an eye and go in through there? For more like this - and you know you want it - subscribe to cakelava. Thursday, August 28, 2008. I've got a friend. The internets sure are neat! This morning, there was a note in my mailbox from julienash asking to be my "friend" on Last.fm. Today, so be sure to check it out! Thanks to J- for this...

Red Wine Rage: Odyssy
http://redwinerage.blogspot.com/2009/04/odyssy.html
Friday, April 10, 2009. The cruel taskmasters at the office have finally allowed me some time off. I've always wanted to spend April in Paris, so I'm going to Nice instead! With the economy in decline and the fact that it isn't high season, incredible deals are available. I couldn't resist. Unusually for me, I planned in advance this time. Almost 2 whole weeks in advance! Even in the place where it was supposed to be. I turned my whole. Upside down for two days looking, with no luck. The Miracle of Easter.

Red Wine Rage: June 2009
http://redwinerage.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 13, 2009. I guess I'm not going to the Ojai Festival. Didn't know until yesterday whether I would or not. The marathon concert for tomorrow sounds magnificent. They'll be playing both Steve Reich's masterpiece Music for 18 Musicians. Which I've never heard live, and his new, un-recorded, Pulitzer-prize-winning Double Sextet. And I'd really, really wanted to see the new piece with Rinde Eckert on Friday. I've had the good fortune to see him perform Slow Fire. Reading all the descriptions.

Red Wine Rage: Sirens
http://redwinerage.blogspot.com/2009/03/sirens.html
Thursday, March 19, 2009. Tuesday, I know I was supposed to be getting drunk on green beer, but somehow I took myself to a Chanticleer. They are definitely great singers, but their normal repertoire isn't really my cup of tea. But this time they were serving up a three-course meal of young (only 30! Composers. There were pieces by Tarik O'Regan and Shawn Crouch, and they were fine, but still not getting me all worked up. And then the piece I was waiting for, Sirens. Lux Aeterna - Ligeti. Sunlight in a Jar.

Red Wine Rage: November 2008
http://redwinerage.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 16, 2008. Microwave ovens sure do weird things to butter. This was a perfect cube before I zapped it. Friday, November 14, 2008. I want to believe. I want to believe in the nobility of the human spirit. And all that. But you've caught me at a bad moment. This morning, while I was browsing away on the web, and getting geared up for tonight's Legendary Pink Dots show, suddenly I heard a tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. Sunday, November 2, 2008.

Red Wine Rage: April 2009
http://redwinerage.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 11, 2009. The Miracle of Easter. I call this the Killing Field. On Good Friday, a few of my remaining flowers started to bloom. I was glad that some survived and that I got to see them before my vacation. But when I went to empty my compost bin, lo! Three of the decapitated stalks were showing sings of blooming, despite having been cut off from the plant for more than a week. It is a miracle, I tell you! Friday, April 10, 2009. Upside down for two days looking, with no luck. I had to quic...
