Today I went for the mother of all walks. I walked all the way from my apartment, which is on the edge of Brookline, to the North End and back (most of the way). I think that comes out to about five miles. Hmm. Doesn't seem so far now.

I picked up a 12" from Rantoul. I think I'd have to say that Rantoul is one of my favorite artists on Good Looking Records, and of course Good Looking is one of my favorite labels.

A friend from high school, Ari Shapiro, managed a quick trip up to Boston from New York yesterday. I'm sure he'll be reporting the details in his live journal.
