favorite track: lindstrøm - another day (todd terje remix). (thank you once again TAPEblog). i will be totally shocked if i hear anything better than this made in 2006. despite rmd's misguided claims to the contrary, this is the best thing i've heard from either lindstrøm or todd terje. although i've never heard the non remixed version, everything fits perfectly here - the mellow spacey synths (and "oooh" sounds) and the mid-tempo keyboard samples are perfect complements to the theme, which seems like it's trying to get somewhere fast without breaking a sweat.

every week i perform electrophysiological experiments on photoreceptors in nearly pitch-black rooms, occasionally using a dim red flashlight to find things in the dark, locate keys on the keyboard, or make notes in my labbook. the first time i blasted this song, in the middle of an experiment, i was compelled to make a disco-light out of my flashlight and dance around in the dark. i had a newfound appreciation for my research conditions.

favorite album: belle and sebastian - the life pursuit.

favorite word: "quail-tard" - as uttered by one of the daily show correspondents when describing the type of flightless, caged(?) bird that dick cheney was trying to kill when he shot some other republican in the face.
