Bender Tuesday
Ahhhhh..., another wild Bender Tuesday. There were very few of us because most of the expats are back home on holiday. It was sausage fest but there was a lot of progressive rock!
I awoke to see that the NL smoked the AL 8-0 in the All Star game. Wow! Crazy. This means Washington will have the home field advantage if they get to the World Series.
- Spain is the eurozone's 4th largest economy
- One in four people is unemployed
- House prices have dropped by 25% since 2008
- The banking sector is highly indebted. Bankia, the country's fourth largest bank, recently asked for a €19bn bailout
- By 2010, one in four Spaniards were at risk of poverty or social exclusion
And today President Rajoy announced a 3% rise in the VAT tax, as 30,000 miners arrive in Madrid to propose cuts of subsidies that might cost as many as 30,000 jobs. It's going to be a fun day!
28 days to go!

Buying New Soul, the Soundtrack
So i believe i mentioned that Jim read Buying New Soul and had a lot of nice things to say about it. He said that it was like a concept album within a book, and that i should compile all the songs, in order (as quoted at the beginning of each chapter), and make an album. I had toyed with this idea a few weeks back and then thought it was a stupid idea. And then Jimbo mentioned it. And then I told Vicky the idea and she loved it.
Currently it would be 28 songs, 168 minutes. I might have to snip something so i could make it a two CD set. It would be one hell of a collection of songs (see below.) Okay! Cook some sausage, edit more, go to bed. It is mercifully cool tonight.
