I took the $20 megamall gift card, combined it with a $25 card I got from my employer for my one year of employment (wheeee!), and spent them both very, very wisely.

I am now watching The Who at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 in 5.1 surround, digitally restored, and sonically remastered by Townshend himself from the original 8-track tapes.

There's a reason I play guitar the way I do. It is Pete's fault. Everything I arrange or hear in my head tends to be affected by my Who affliction. Watching this video reminds me why.

They are all so young. Entwistle is the greatest rock bass player of all time. And no one...*no one*...compared to Keith Moon. He was freaking inhuman.

I also bought "I Robot", and will enjoy that in bed tonight. As I said, I spent my gift cards wisely.
