I'm  expected to miss 6 weeks of work (Thank God!), and our main concern is 
how to  keep Dexter (our cat) from attacking the catheter tube that will be 
in me for  probably the longest 2 week so of my life. Dexter loves plastic 
tubing.  Especially to chew on.



Hey Gil,
 
Maybe Dexter could stay with a friend for a while?  When I went to  
California for two weeks at Christmas in '07, I put my dog Missy up in  a pet 
motel, where she was groomed and walked.  The only downfall to that  was that 
when I got her out she gave me the cold paw for a couple of days,  letting me 
know she wasn't happy about her extended leave away from our  "pack."  But, 
she got over it--a little sweet talkin' and belly rubbin' did  the trick.  I 
paid I believe 15 dollars a day for her stay across town  here.  I suppose 
in SF that would be about 50 dollars a day due to the high  price of pet real 
estate <rim shot>.

I was reading about the Da Vinci six months ago when my PSA count took a 
jump.  It's amazing how much these robotic surgeries have reduced side 
effects.

Here's a bright side, Gil: they say that 30% of all 50-year-old men have 
prostate cancers, across different cultures.  (And 80% of all 
70-year-olds!)  So the main difference between you and others is that you 
will actually gets yours removed, as opposed to the rest of us who elude 
detection.

Be of good cheer. - Dan

Gil, please count me in the chorus of well-wishers and good-thought
senders. Wishing you speedy and uncomplicated surgery and may your
recovery make your team scratch their heads and say, "dang, that was
fast!"

Subject: [loud-fans] music you can listen to

Recently learned of two legit free downloads of potential interest ...

 If you go to midriffrecords.com/sampler/ and give up an email address
 you can get a label sampler with otherwise unavailable tracks from the
 great, sometimes clamorous, Boston indie band The Beatings and their
 friend and family tree (also some released tracks new and old,
 including on the new tip Hands and Knees, who I think some of youse
 would dig).

 Mean while at www.citybreathing.com you can listen to/download the
 magnificently titled "my apple ][e is singing sad songs to me" ep with
 4 expansive, slow-building tracks. Are we calling it dream pop or shoe
 gaze or nugaze or slowcore these days? And does it matter?

Thanks for the tip, and a big thumbs up for City Breathing.  Sounds a  
little "chamber pop" to me, but however you pigeonhole it, its very  
nice - super melodic.

RIYL Mercury Rev, Soft-Bulletin era Flaming Lips, or the last Sigur  
Ros album.

And I'll echo that thought from the far side of the pond.
