sciatherical: pertaining to measurement of time by shadows; belonging to a sundial
Jimmy’s Sundial was inundated with repair requests from clients whose
instruments were off because of the recent daylight savings time change.
I had a nice chat today with Aaron Gregory from the San Francisco group Giant Squid. The audio from the interview is available here and I’m currently in the process of transcribing it for the radio site. I’ll be interviewing his bandmate Jackie Perez Gratz (also in Grayceon and about five other bands) tomorrow .

nugatory : Of little value; trifling; ineffective
Charles took off his coat and put it across the mud puddle for his fiance, a chivalrous, though nonetheless nugatory action, as this caused his companion to fall into a three-foot deep sink-hole after stepping on his jacket.
I’ve known about the RPM Challenge (create an album in the month of February) for several months now but I’ve been hoping to finish a project that I started around the end of January first. I got sidetracked by a remix contest for Steven Wilson’s new album Insurgentes. I’ve finished the remix and I’m more than 3/5 through with Helix, but seeing that I had a week left to get my stuff together for RPM, I spent most of the weekend working on something new. I’ve completed three fairly minimal drones for this project that total 56 minutes of music. I haven’t decided on titles for the songs or started on album art.
