my posts will be hit or miss the next few weeks here on TWF. i’m busy, but more importantly my 8 year old laptop struggles mightily to run the programs that allow me to post. hopefully by the end of June or early July i’ll have a new laptop in hand that can handle all that i need to continue making TWF a place to discover new music.

and just for those who are interested i currently use a Sony Vaio laptop that was bought in 2001. yes, that’s right, 2001. which means the laptop and the technology inside of it are almost a decade old. as i type this reply i have to pause after every two or three words because it takes that long for each letter to appear on screen after i’ve hit a key. {just launching firefox on this laptop takes around 52 seconds on average… trust me, when it takes that long, you have nothing better to do than time it and find the average}. it’s rocking a Pentium 700Mhz processor {which is roughly 1/5 as powerful as present day mobile phone processors} and i’ve maxed it out with a glorious 512MB of RAM. oh, i also have only about 1GB free of hard drive space to spare which makes it almost impossible to download new music, rip CDs to mp3, or do anything else that facilitates listening to new artists or new albums.

basically my current computer setup {flavored slightly by the amount of free time i have} has made it not enjoyable to post about music here. in fact it’s quite literally a pain.

for awhile i was using an extra computer at work to post {the accounted for the quick flurry of posts in April and May, but this opportunity is now not available {yes, i am still employed, but now i’ve become busier than ever with work as i’ve taken over the website here and, well, life is moving fast}.

Good beats, always wondered who the artist of it was. Keep posting, I’m always enjoying your words.

This definitely put a smile to my face
The song is very very infectious, I agree. I can’t find a clip of it, but it’s also sung by two characters on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, while they’re drunk in the middle of the afternoon.

This is great timing!

I spent pretty much all of last summer, starting in about early June, singing this song with a friend of mine… Why? I could not tell you; it’s infectious.

It was a long summer.
