A mini-puma prowls the premises to protect the collections. meeeee-OW!

I rate my music and movies on how much I enjoy the album or the film. I don't give lower ratings on something trashy that I really like, as opposed to something that happens to be a classic that I also really like.

I am a hunter and gatherer and scrounger when it comes to music. Which is a good thing because about all we have left in Louisville anymore is used record stores. Favorite Louisville stores: Underground Sounds, Book and Music Exchange (The Highlands), Better Days, and honorable mention to The Great Escape and Half Price Books.

My collection of music is without a doubt, all over the place, literally & figuratively, but my interests are all over the place too, so there you have it. The more disappointed I get with current music, the more I travel into the past and explore things I missed out on the first time around.

I never want to hear "Dark Side of the Moon" again. Never, never, never.

"Theatre X" was a Saturday afternoon TV program in the mid-60's, in Orlando, Florida (near where I grew up) that featured 50's giant bug films, dubbed Mexican horror films, and all kinds of stuff that warped my fragile little brain.
