READIN

Jeremy's journal

Somehow, Cleveland has survived, with her gray banner unfurled -- the banner of Archangelsk and Detroit, of Kharkov and Liverpool -- the banner of men and women who would settle the most ignominious parts of the earth, and there, with the hubris born neither of faith nor ideology but biology and longing, bring into the world their whimpering replacements.

— Gary Shteyngart

READIN

READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

I jammed with Bob and Janis and Gregory tonight and it was really nice. Several songs came off almost flawlessly and we were just exactly in time with each other in a way that characterizes the best of our playing, for almost the entire session. The set list (constructed from memory afterward and not complete) was:

  • Wild Horses -- I had given Janis the recording of Old & In The Way singing it and wanted to get us doing it.
  • Knights in White Satin, more as a joke than anything -- none of us really knows it.
  • Pallette on Your Floor
  • Willow Garden
  • Love in Vain
  • May the Circle be Unbroken
  • Death Don't Have No Mercy
  • Some Dark Hollow
  • St. James Infirmary
  • I Know You Rider
  • The Star-Spangled Banner (by this point we were sort of done for the night -- the last couple of songs were not great.)
  • The Night They Tore Old Dixie Down
  • Truckin'
  • Loser

Everything between about Love in Vain and St. James Infirmary was in "best we've ever played" territory.
