Chris Whitley Bootleg

Found this in cutout bin at Virgin. Chris Whitley was a bluesman for the 21st century. His life ended tragically too short. More people need to listen to him. This means you.

Fooled By Randomness

Nassim Taleb's challenging, enlightening book about how little we really can know. About anything. His newer tome Black Swans I would also heartily recommend.

Just sayin'.

If you're in NYC, specifically around Grammercy or the East Village, I highly recommend Posto for some excellent thin crust pizza. The salads are also great, and the wine list is pretty good.

Ate at Megu last night. Took advantage of the NYC Restuarant Week promotion. Overpriced, and undeservedly pretentious. Food was the standard crappy Japanese-fusion nonsense. And $40 for two fingers of 10-year Macallan single malt and a Kirin Light at the bar? Seriously? Nice faux ice sculpture Buddha though.

Ah, death metal and ballet - two great tastes that go together. Well, if by together you use a crowbar and some sort of lube.
