Carole King - Tapestry

I'm going through my CD collection before I sell it or give it away. These posts are more a reminder for me or others in the future of great albums I've always loved but no longer need a physical copy of. I've also been going through all the movies I thought I might want to see again so I'll be blogging about the highlights of that process too. A little bit of nostalgia before letting go.

Coming To A Neighbourhood Near You - Only In 'Merika

You'd be mad to hand your guns over to the Feds in the US with the police completely out of control like this. The whole Dark Knight episode is designed to push forward anti gun laws going through the UN right now just as the US is beginning to descend into the long predicted chaos we've been ringing an alarm bell over for years.

Police firing rubber bullets and unleashing dogs into women and children. These are pigs. Thugs with the finest pension scheme and benefits on the planet and a media that barely chastises the most egregious of crimes. Of course they can get away with murder. They're a law unto themselves and are there to protect the interests of the elite.

Blondie - Autoamerican

Currently I'm selling all my CDs because the more I unload the more free and mobile I feel. It's also pointless having material possessions for books and music when I've got two lifetimes of reading books on my hard drive and as much online music as I'll ever need. I had a pleasant time yesterday listening to Blondie's Autoamerican. Nostalgia.

Greek for "return" is nostos. Algos means "suffering." 

So nostalgia is the suffering caused by the yearn to return - Milan Kundera
