W♥M111: NXNE
NXNE is coming, June 13-19, 2011, in Toronto, Canada. I am flying in on the 12th, and I guess will be doing touristy things in the city. If you want to hang out, send me a note. The music portion, as far as looking at the schedule, doesn't actually start until Wednesday, the 15th. Which means, I have a lot of time to kill, perhaps I'll attend some of the movies that NXNE has to offer (I am probably going to try and make it to "Upside Down – The Creation Records Story", a documentary about Creation Records). I have gone on record and stated that I think Alan McGee is a genius.

Amos and Amos
Did you know that Amos was one of the twelve minor prophet in the Old Testament, and the author of the Book of Amos? There's also a band called Amos and Amos, but it doesn't look they've been active since 2010. You know I love Tori Amos. She is one of those artists that I'll still continue to buy her albums, despite getting review copies.
