Reading Magnifico's journal

Today's been a busy day. And I'm sure that, since you're reading this, that you must be really interested in what I did today.

Or really bored. (Digression!)

So after my weekly guitar lesson with T-bone, who is quite possibly the coolest teacher in the world (digression!), I headed to midtown with my dad to an Italian deli called Fino's from the Hill. For those who don't know, the Hill is a predominantly Italian area of St. Louis, in the heartland of America. All the stuff they have at this deli comes straight from the Hill, and some of that stuff comes straight to St. Louis from Italia.

From Fino's we headed over to Strings 'n' Things, a ginormous guitar warehouse, and bought some new equipment, though nothing major. New instrument chord, double guitar stand. Lightweight trip.

The real high point of my day has been that I've found a super-cheap, very nice 3 CD compilation of Goa music called the Clubber's Guide to Goa Trance. 3 hours of music for $17.99

I hardly dare to ask, but what is Goa?

'Repent, Harlequin!' said the Ticktockman. 'Get stuffed!' the Harlequin replied, sneering.

Goa is a form of electronic dance music that is characterized by world-music influences.
