AARDSCHOK!

Okay, guys...I went shopping on Friday, and boy, did I find some cool stuff! So here's the next part of my gift list:

I think I'll order a few more things from Barnes & Noble, but this is the vast majority of what I was planning to do.


Art portfolio (for 9x12 drawings)
New set of towels
An ornament for next year's tree
Star Trek: Generations DVD

Books

* Star Trek: New Worlds, New Civilizations by Michael Jan Friedman (used)
* Who's Looking Out for You? by Bill O'Reilly (Don't like that? Well, bitez moi!)
* Culture Warrior by Bill O'Reilly (see above)
* A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity by Bill O'Reilly (ditto)

Software

* Bejeweled Twist
* Sony Acid Music Studio

CDs (yes, my taste in music is VERY eclectic!)

* As Far As by dj Cheb i Sabbah
* The Very Best of Dr. John by...(duh, people!)
* BOBW score by Ron Jones
* Radiolarians I by Medeski Martin & Wood
* Rise by Anoushka Shankar
* Music Rough Guides: Israel


Now, for someone with taste in music as all over the map as mine, I have found some GREAT Internet radio stations, thanks to the Muzee Internet Radio my parents gave me. And to balance out the negative review I posted in my Christmas journal, every so often I'm going to give a shout-out to stations I find that I enjoy.

My first shout-out goes to the Dutch metal station, Kink Aardschok! Now, I don't speak Dutch, but to me, it sounds like "earth-shock," so I'm going to guess that name means "earthquake." And boy, is that ever a fitting description of Aardschok! As a metal fan, so far Aardschok seems like the station with the best selection, the most songs I like. So if anyone here is a metal fan, make sure to check out Kink Aardschok!
