there's not much that pisses me off. my general theory of anger when i experience it is to just let it pass over me while I work out why i feel it and what i can do to prevent it happening again. it's unavoidable these days but fortunately my process eliminates it fast from my body and mind. anger is an energy and it has it's uses but at this stage in my life i'm not interested in that kind of energy.

one thing that does make me angry on a justifiably regular basis is the fact that car manufacturers no longer make cars that play cds. this does cause me considerable anger as i don't want to hear music on a stick, i like sliding that disc in the slot and kicking back on my journey, the soundtrack meets the landscape. that's just how it is for me. 

in red eye yesterday i managed to pick up 'speed of stars' new cd 'as italy dreamed...through summers of haze,' and although I have played it at home it's the music i would like to play driving along the coast on a hot day. i said to the guy in the cd shop as i looked down at the stacks of new cassettes, 'don't tell me cassettes are coming back into fashion?'
'yeah he said, they are getting popular.'
'i'm waiting for cds to comeback.'
he laughed, 'they are actually coming back as well.'

so there car manufacturers, cds will be coming back and you guys fucked up.

anyways i'm really loving, yes that's the right word, loving this album. it's so good, these guys have really created this suburb piece of music, it's exceptional. no fluff, no filler, just great quality songs. songs that make you want to drive, road tripping music. it's a good job i have a great imagination and if i close my eyes i can see the music play out in front of me as i drive my fiat down to sorrento stopping at some coastal village for a coffee and a crunchy italian busicuit, flirting with a cute waitress staring in my own movie with the perfect soundtrack. life.
