So imagine you’re at a local bar. Dimly lit but friendly. They scowl at you just a little when you say you want a scotch and then correct you gently with their selection of Irish. They serve a delightful shepherd’s pie and deliver it with ketchup and steak sauce, without judgement nor explanation. It is good.
And then you get to hear a friend who has the earnest and genuine talent of Colin Haye but in a face familiar and kind like that of a long lost cousin that you’re proud to discover. He sings with a taut sensitivity and self effacing charm.
Meet Goh Nakamura.
And yo, he blogs too.
Bootlegs (lots of ambiant bar noise…but still ok)
Songfile1, Songfile2, Songfile3, Songfile 4
Better soundbites here.
And delight, a spontaneous half time show (no boob flashing) with Dan from Scrabbel notoriety.
Hurray.
And then you get to call someone special to say you hope that they have sweet dreams and remembers them. Or gets to tell you a reasonable facsimile of such a sweet dream on the morrow.
Also, my internet connection with Comcast effectively doubled. Hurray. It’s working pretty damn skippy. Just did a speed test and I’m a little bit above 3.0 Mbps.
Today’s a good day.
