YouTube playlists

This week was really weird.  I sent a journal to print, I did tons of other stuff, worked late hours. Tuesday Zen was a good boy, but Wednesday when I came home exhausted from getting the magazine done I found that he’d been a bad boy and sulked off to bed already without his dinner, I didn’t even see him that night.  Crap!

But he seems to have regretted it, and ever since then he’s been exceptionally good, blazing through his homework, polite to us, cooperative and never complaining.  Great stuff.

Friday we had a parent-teacher meeting, and we were pleased to see that Zen’s teacher is a charming, young gentleman with a great spirit, much different from the dour mesdames that have been teaching him in past years. He made it sound like Zen was his model pupil, his classroom monitor who’s very sensible, who plays well with other children but also concentrates and focuses on his work when he has to. His weakness is in Chinese, his third language, but even here he is not the worst-performer. But in his heart, he’s not interested in Chinese, so unless he has a change in heart learning Chinese will be more about going through the motions for him.

I’ve been spending some time here and there making YouTube playlists, and I’ve discovered some darn cool music is available.  Not really any videos here, by the way, just mainly static pictures or slideshows, the point is really to listen to the songs whlie you’re doing something else. Make sure you’ve got the playlist open in its own page (not its own tab) in your browser or the continuous play feature won’t work. Check these out:

Japanese band “Ogre You Asshole.” A bunch of Modest Mouse fans, for sure.

Danzig discography.

German psychedelic rock band Epitaph. Great!

Judas Priest discography. Check out the prog psychedelia of the first albums:

King Crimson’s first albums. In case you were curious:

Ministry discography. Pretty much all of their stuff except “Dark Side of the Spoon”:

Pixies discography. Yay, Pixies!
