Odds and Ends

I was listening to Unitopia's "The Garden" over the weekend and was struck by the closing song "321".  Written as a tribute to the Beaconsfield Miners, the song really hit home in light of the amazing story of the Chilean miners rescued last week.

Three hundred and twenty-one hours, locked inside the earth
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, before we’d see the sun again
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, every minute lasts a lifetime
Three hundred and twenty-one hours…..

Djam Karet is apparently out with a new release.  The clips on the website sound promising, I may have to pick this one up as I've enjoyed a number of their previous albums, especially "New Dark Age".

For those who enjoy music more in the progressive rock vein, if you don't already you'll want to check out Bill's Prog Blog.

Blast from the past files:  over the weekend I stumbled across my copy of Todd Rundgren's Utopia, the 1974 debut by that band.  Did it sound dated?  Maybe just a little bit.  But what a great album, brought back some memories of college.
