My new favorite thing.
Jan. 26th, 2010 01:29 amHave you ever had the experience of discovering something in your iTunes library that you didn't know you had?
OMG, I found Green Day's cover of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" today. IT IS AMAZING! Honestly! It blew me out of the water. It's better than Bob. Way better. I was singing along at the tops of my lungs and scaring my cats. Here. Listen and be amazed too:
And if you loved it as much as I did, here, have your own 320kbps copy: http://www.mediafire.com/?m4mytzqrwzu
In Adam news, he's visiting our good friends in the great white north, Toronto, to be exact, where he did 8 gazillion interviews (I know, I watched every single one.) I asked![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
and_ed if she noted glitter in the air, but sadly, it does not appear to have drifted as far west as Vancouver. It's the first volley in what is going to be a world-wide international push, and he is going to do great! He has already done telephone interviews with radio stations in Australia, NZ and Singapore, and he seems to be very well received and liked. I cannot wait for him to tour. The latest rumor is that he could open for Christina Aquilera, whom I would die to hear him duet with, even though I'm not exactly a fan of hers.
In personal news, I've been suffering from the creeping crud for the last week. Unfortunately, calling in sick is not an option, so it really sucks to be unable to speak because you're coughing up a lung, or sounding like Kermit the Frog when you can choke a few words out. The good news is that by catching the death bronchitis now, it means I'll probably be OK in March for my big scuba trip to Indonesia. YAY.
In random musings, I've been thinking of earthquakes a lot since I moved to San Francisco. (Go figure, huh?) And obviously the situation in Haiti has intensified it, although the situation will be much less dire here due to enforced building codes. But my house was built in 1932, before they had earthquake codes and I know some retrofitting was done, but it wasn't complete and I don't know if it is adequate. Then I found out that the Hayward fault usually slips every 148 years (± 100 years), and the last quake was 149 years ago, and they expect it to be greater than magnitude 7. EEK :-) So now I have this OMG I MUST GET MY HOUSE RETROFITTED THIS WEEK attitude. My quote for earthquake insurance was $1500/yr, so even if it costs me the big bucks to protect the house, I figure it's worth it. Still, I'd rather live here than in tornado or hurricane country any day of the week.
In weather news, is the rain ever going to stop? We've received almost 2/3 our average annual rainfall in like, 10 days!
In fic news, if you are interested in a short, Adam/Tommy Joe pornlet, may I recommend Little Rock and Roll bylinzeestyle?
Hope you all are keeping dry.
