Probably the grimmest thought that I've had recently was the
realization that most of the music that I will ever really
love has already been released.  That's partly due to the
fact that I seldom get to hear cool new music (given the
dire state of modern commercial radio), and partly due to
the fact that my musical tastes are almost certainly getting
more and more ossified.  ;-)

Coolest thing I've heard recently: Shomu Yamashta's East
Wind "Freedom is Frightening".  Kind of early 70's heavy
synthesizery progressive jazz, or maybe jazz-rock fusion.
Sounds almost like something John Lord might have done as
a solo project.
