Notes from Germany
I am an American expat living in Germany. It's a far away land on the other side of the ocean. It's interesting and often weird here. If you read this and want to comment then email me at blog(the at symbol)chillmost.com. If you find any spelling or grammar mistakes, you can keep them.

Preparations for American Roadtrip 2004 are underway. Just reserved a rental car from Avis. Our main concern with the rental car is the sound system. Having a way to play our CDs is absolutely crucial to the mission. It all rests on that. If we have to pay for an upgrade, so be it.
I will be spending the weekend making compilation CDs for the ride. There will be lots of:
- American classic rock: Allman Bros, Doobies, Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix, Eagles, Skynard, etc.
- Hip Hop: Gangstarr, Erik B & Rakim, NWA, The Roots
- Country: Willie, Waylon, Cash, George Jones, Haggard, DAC
- Hard Rock: Queens of The Stone Age, Sonic Youth, Led Zep, Black Crowes (shmc), Black Sabbath, etc
- Motown and classic R&B: Marvin, Temptations, Supremes, James Brown, Al Green, Otis Redding
- Blues: Robert Johnson, SRV, Junior Walker, Muddy Waters, J. L. Hooker, BB King,
- And much much more..
Tonight I am going to see StereoLab. Should be cool. Haven't heard any of the new stuff yet. Might also just be a bunch of indie rockers/closet music critics standing around with arms crossed and being seen. Not be confused with the "Space Rock Status Guy". Speaking of which....
