Uncle Dave Lewis lives in a hole in the back of his brain, filled with useless trivia about 78 rpm records, silent movies, unfinished symphonies, broken up punk bands from the 80s and other old stuff no one cares about. This is where he goes to let off a little steam- perhaps you will find it useful, perhaps not. Who knows?

This weekend we had company due in Sunday afternoon, so all Saturday I cleaned house between dizzy spells and bouts of diarreah. On Sunday we had the company and then Keith and I got together to compile some sequences from Riefenstahl's Olympia which I plan to show at work Wednesday. Throughout the weekend I managed to complete compiling a CD of all the New Friends of Rhythm 78s I have. This is a project I started in, like, January. But I got it done, transcribing 21 sides in all. You can hear them if you tune in to www.wcbn.org at 8pm tomorrow (Tuesday).

We got some things out of storage over the weekend. Among them was a notebook that I kept from 1986-1988 that I'd never documented nor even really looked into before. I started to go through it and discovered a lot of stuff I'd done that I didn't know still existed - poems, reviews, radio playlists and other works. I'm creating a log for the contents of the book - I'm only half through it and the list already shows about 40 different items. I hope in the coming days once I have a few of these things transcribed that I can share a few of them here.

So, I guess it was a good weekend after all.
