Well, the Vick entry was scrubbed because I simply no longer care. Good riddance, hasta la vista, et cetera, et cetera. I'll laugh when some small-market team gets him.
Allow me to sing praise to the XM radio system, for the following reason:
Channel 27 played selections from the Don Davis/Juno Reactor scores for the Matrix trilogy.
While I'm not a die-hard Matrix type, I did enjoy the soundtrack scores produced for the pictures. One, maybe two, major papers were written to the eerie industrial beats and dissonance from these, and darned if they didn't both come out with solid grades.
Anyways. I'm driving back from an outing, and I'm fiddling with my XM radio. I'm paging through the channels as usual, hunting for an artist or two to secure in the notification system, when I pass Cinemagic. This channel has already scored with me for playing John Williams' work on Star Wars and subsequent productions, but tonight provided a perfect fusion of music, road, and opportunity.
Your correspondent is like most men in that he likes fast cars, especially those of the NASCAR, Formula 1 and NHRA sort. Therefore he cannot turn down an opportunity to run a deserted and winding back country road at night, especially when the XM station's playing something out of the collective of Don Davis and Juno Reactor.
Yeah, I turned up the volume on the radio to deafening levels and took off on the road. I've been driving it for years, but I'd never tried it with "Navras" before.
As John Travolta's character in Broken Arrow says, "What a rush!"
