All better

Six or seven slices of pepperoni pizza confirms my thesis that my stomach felt so bad partly because of a lack of food. I normally don't eat that much pizza in one sitting, but booze does weird things to my appetite, both at the time and later.

It helped that at the Ontarion I managed to get the new Daft Punk and Keren Ann for review purposes. I really do wonder what I'll think of the Daft Punk, though.

Also cheering me up is the fact that I came home to find not one but two packages in the mail, one from ZTT with the new reissue of Kirsty MacColl's second last album, and one from our beloved promo editor at Stylus containing, among other goodies, the new Amon Tobin.

That alone would be enough to make me very happy, but add to that the fact that in recent days Todd Hutlock's Detroit Techno mix (which is great) and a CD-R of Time Fades Away by Neil Young burned from vinyl by Alfred Soto (who should write more) have both landed in the mailbox and this has been the best week for mail I've ever had in my life.
