Change is good, I guess. I'm in the process of adjusting to a new schedule and environment and my focus has been blurry lately. Transition is my word of the week.
Aberdeen City is playing at the Great American Music Hall tomorrow and I will be there.
Matador Records has posted an mp3 from the new Belle & Sebastian album, The Life Pursuit. My interest in B&S has been peeked lately because I'm still reading their biography. An iTunes exclusive release of a live taping of the entire If You're Feeling Sinister album is going to be released soon. The new album will be available on February 7th. In the meantime, you can listen to the "Another Sunny Day" mp3 via Matador.
In local music news, Live 105 is hosting a local band competition at Cafe du Nord on the 7th of December. Minipop is one of the bands competing. It's a $7 show on a Wednesday, what else are you doing?
Any advice for adapting to working from home is appreciated.
One thing I always do is make sure you have set times to have lunch, coffee, breaks, et cetera. I try to make a concerted effort not to let work bleed into personal life too much. I had this bad habit of tooling around the internet for three hours and then working until midnight to catch up, and by then my eyes were square from looking at the computer screen. Set yourself up with outlook reminders or whatever you have to do to say “this is time for work, this is time for play, this is time to go outside for a walk around the block.”
Also, walking to Tartine for a croissant never hurt anyone.
