Riding home from work and finding two three foot tall speakers with an amplifier, all in working condition. Well not completely working, but an upgrade from my boombox. Nothing that I couldn't fix with ductape. And did I mention free! The guy who put them out plays in Towers of Hanoi and even gave me two of their cds. The speakers are flanking my bed as we speak... I speak... I type... whatever. O THE BASS! And there was also a poster of the World and a box full of vhs tapes, including one awesome looking skateboarding movie, home video of someone's vacation to the keys, a mysteriously labeled tape which is either 30 seconds or 30 minutes long about car maintenance, some classic Ren and Stimpy, and one tape with Hocus Pocus, Hot Shots Part Deux and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. TRIPLE FEATURE!

548 more words to go before I finish my paper (due tomorrow), not on an artist of my choice (as per requested) but about how the Anthology of American Folk is the foundation for most good music made over the past 40 years. Les-git-caffeinated!
