MOG

Got some new stuff tonight to reward myself for my first couple of design jobs. Some new anime: Hellsing Ultimate Vol. 1, Ergo Proxy Vol. 1, Speed Grapher Vol. 2 and The Place Promised in Our Early Years (from the same guy who made the incredible Voices of a Distant Star). The Ergo Proxy DVD came with a soundtrack CD that I'll get to eventually.

Best of all I finally picked up a copy of Duncan Sheik's White Limousine. I caught up with Duncan late in the game. I actually heard Barely Breathing, not on the radio, but on a demo that some Sony laptops used to carry back when I used to sling hardware for cheddar. Since then I have pretty much absorbed his entire catalog, and his songwriting has become one of my favorite musical teachers. I expect that this record will be more like Phantom Moon, meaning that there will be almost no radio friendly bits, but that's all right by me. I look forward to ingesting this record.
