Courtney’s Books: The Sun Also Rises
Well if ol Ernie was still writing this book somewhere I assure you I would just continue reading it for however long he kept going. Today is a good day to pick up a used copy amd start reading it.
It has such a cool style which carries you through the rather lengthy setup but I guess I already said that before I left for tour. Anyhoo, wow this is such a beautiful place to go. Read it very slowly.

Frankfurt Airport Security: Disgusting
I don’t usually “go off” about shit that pisses me off. Its basically inelegant and totally pointless BUT after hearing other people’s stories that are as bad or worse than mine I’ve got to get this off my chest. Also cuz whenever I think about my not beating this dudes face to a bloody chunky mass of pulp my blood pressure rises, I see red and generally shorten my longevity little by little. Frankfurt airport “security” are the most disgusting pervert rapist pieces of shit in the world. I really hope someone puts a bomb there at exactly the second where no planes are coming or going, the desks and baggage areas are empty and ONLY those sickoes are there, horny and waiting for more boys and girls to stick their fingers in…… And then they all die slowly and brutally while god comes down and tells them why he did this to them. Then they all go to hell.

Tour Photo: Busy Brooklyn
A nice ride thru Brooklyn is perfect for late-mid tour. This is the 2008 version of a bike I own so I’m very comfortable on it. Brooklyn streets are busy.

Memorial: George Marino, Nilesh Patel
George Marino who mastered Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia died yesterday. He was one of the legends. A real sweet and calm individual. About three quarters of the way thru 13 tales he said “ya know, I master a lot of greatest hits albums these days. This sounds like a greatest hits”.
We also lost Nilesh Patel several months back. He mastered the 1776 record for us and was mastering our Earth to the Remix record. He was in my estimation the best dance music mastering engineer and utterly irreplaceable. I hear he was a great guy, too.
George Marino Highlights
AC/DC – Highway to Hell, Back in Black, High Dirty Deeds and more.
Guns n Roses – Appetite For Destruction
Metallica – Metallica, Master of Puppets, Kill em All and more.
Bob Dylan – Blonde on Blonde
Cheap Trick – Heaven Tonight, Dream Police, and more.
Motley Crue – Shout at the Devil
John Lennon – Double Fantasy
Led Zeppelin – I, II, III, IV, Physical Graffiti
Nilesh Patel Highlights
Daft Punk – Discovery
Air – Moon Safari
Bjork – Homogenic

Courtney’s Wines: Boston
I didn’t bother getting an attractive shot because this argentine malbec brought out pain where there was none before.
The food in Argentina was actually not spicy that I remember. Charred meats and tangy empanadas.
Spanish food isn’t generally hot either. Paella sure isn’t so I spose that would explain the rioja barely working with Indian. I’m certainly reducing my options to cooler climate grape varietals as we’re coming up on D-day.
Man I totally pussed out last night. Had french cuisine and thus rather lovely but opus one-ish Chateau Palmer (bordeaux, of course).

Courtney’s Wines: Viña Pomal
Had this fantastic Spanish wine with Indian food. Oh no has he gone totally bonkers or what’s up. Well the wine shop was closed and this was a stroke of luck at a Korean bodega amidst a small arsenal of eight to twelve dollar napa cabs and chards. This was the only bottle.
100% tempranillo and old world as a guillotine this wine actually didn’t do so well with the pain factor. The mild dishes couldn’t have paid for a better wine to be paired with but it amplified the vindaloo. “I’m gonna burn the hell out of your mouth”-ness a little.
Still I may try blending it just to see. Oak aged tempranillo is a beautiful thing.
