Ahh Chicago. I love getting away from rural Iowa occasionally. I’m leaving Friday afternoon for Chicago until late Sunday with some family to pick up other family from the airport that have been in Africa for the past couple weeks.

I probably won’t post much until I get back - so let me leave you with some final thoughts for the week. There are two ad spots on the site now. They’re pretty small and don’t get in the way of much so don’t get all grumpy face. They’re more of an experimentation than anything else; to see whether the site could support itself.

Nine Inch Nails have released the studio-length album The Slip for free, with Trent Reznor saying “this one’s on me” via the NIN website. Apparently you can be successful and generous at the same time. I’m impressed by what this band is doing and I’m going to probably start a write up of my opinions and recommendations for bands you should check out that understand where the music industry is heading while I’m in Chicago. I’m going to try and get that out by next week.

Speaking of which, in addition to The Slip being on my iPod during the car ride to Chicago, Narrow Stairs is still on repeat every couple of hours. Yeah, I’m that ridiculously into it. Keep in mind Death Cab for Cutie’s latest is out on the 12th. No, it’s not free, but at least it’s worth spending the cash on.

And I’ll leave you with this. . .
