It’s a fatalistic mindset, that we have standing reasons to dislike Mondays this time of year, with it’s associated promise of early darkness and unfulfilled obligations. But tonight has improved somewhat upon receipt of a random email from Amazon saying there was a $5 mp3 credit waiting for me. I don’t know why they send me these, some money losing promotion straight outta 1999, but I’ve gotten a few of these recently, thanks Bezos! Coincidentally they’ve got a stack of $5 albums to sort through. Sifting through the chaff there, I found & bought Steve Earle’s album Jerusalem. This is my second Earle album in as many months (the other being the slightly superior Train a Comin’), and one I had been thinking of getting ever since a track of his – John Walker’s Blues – ended up on mixcorp album last year. I’m not going to fake up any sort of coherent album review or anything, it’s just what I’m feeling, where this house is at right now. Recommended.
