Been sleeping at night with my bedroom window open all winter so far. I keep the window open all the time.

So far it's been practically winterless here in Phoenix. It gets a little cold in the wee hours in the morning and lasts until about 9am. I wear a jacket and gloves when I bicycle to work in the morning but wish I didn't have the jacket after work.

Warm enough to wear shorts and a tank top outside at midnight while eating a popsicle!

Enjoying homemade chicken soup I just made...mmm!

Just came back from grocery shopping, scored 5 12 oz. bags of unshelled walnuts for 99 cents a piece at the reduced section in the fruit/vegetable department!

So my friend succeeded in getting me a picture disc but he had to go to two different record stores to get it; he got the last one on the shelf at the first place at Zia Record Exchange, and got the only one for himself at a place called Stinkweeds in Phoenix. I don't believe there is a vinyl of "Rush:Clockwork Angels Live" but this vinyl pictue disc does have one track from it on vinyl... And I did listen to it and it sounded incredible... Side A, The Garden studio version Side B, The Garden (live version)

Take me to the river - Talking Heads

Nice and sunny here in AZ, shorts and t-shirt weather!

Heaven Below - Subdivisions (Featuring William Shatner)

I could not get the day off for Black Friday tomorrow to get "The Garden" (Rush Vinyl Picture disc), the record store is very strict; one disc per person...I asked if I could walk out and walk back in and get another one and the answer was no, so I gave my friend the money to get 2 discs, one for me and one for him. He is taking his girlfriend so they both can buy one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2ryodamhvM A performance clip of the song "In Trance", taken from Scorpions' forthcoming offering "MTV Unplugged". Due in North America on January 21, 2014 via Sony International, material for "MTV Unplugged" is taken from the Scorpions' first-ever "MTV Unplugged" show and features new acoustic versions of best-loved classic hits, as well as five brand new songs. "MTV Unplugged" will be available in two formats - a standard CD and a deluxe version featuring CD + DVD. "MTV Unplugged" will be released in 50 countries, a testament to the German band's iconic status worldwide. Recorded and filmed just a few months ago on September 11 and September 12 of this year. "MTV Unplugged" was culled from two dynamic acoustic sets at the Lycabettus Theatre in Athens, Greece. The spectacular open-air theatre, situated 300 meters above the city, was an impressive backdrop for the first-ever open-air show in the history of "MTV Unplugged" (the theatre also shares a birth year with the Scorpions themselves, having been built in 1965, the same year the Scorpions formed). Of the choice to film/record "MTV Unplugged" at the Lycabettus Theatre, Scorpions' singer/guitarist Klaus Meine commented, "We have fabulous fans all over the world, but the Greeks are absolute die-hards fans." Scorpions is Klaus Meine (vocals/guitar), Rudolf Schenker (guitars/vocals), Matthias Jabs (guitars), Pawel Maciwoda (bass) and James Kottak (drums); additional musical support on "MTV Unplugged" includes contributions from Swedish musicians and producers Mikael Nord Anderson (guitars, mandolin, lap steel, vocals) and Martin Hansen (guitars, harmonica, vocals). The duo is also responsible for the arrangements on "MTV Unplugged". "MTV Unplugged" track listing: CD 01. Sting In The Tail 02. Can't Live Without You 03. The Best Is Yet To Come 04.

When The Smoke Is Going Down Scorpions are still in the midst of their epic farewell tour; the tour has been going on for more than three years now. To the delight of their fans there is no end in sight, as to date the band has only played 23 out of the 38 countries planned on the itinerary. Scorpions is one of the most successful international hard rock bands of all time, selling upwards of 75 million records worldwide and playing more than 5,000 concerts in 80+ countries globally. Formed in Germany in 1965, the band has come to be known for its colossal radio and MTV hits "Rock You Like A Hurricane", "No One Like You" and "Wind Of Change", as well as their status as international rock ambassadors. VH1 ranked Scorpions as the #46 Artist on the "Greatest Artists Of Hard Rock" special, while "Rock You Like A Hurricane" came in at #18 on VH1's "Greatest Hard Rock Songs". The band recently recieved a star on the Hollywood RockWalk in Los Angeles.
