Ghost Hunters Always On

Every time I walk downstairs and past the room with the TV, I have to hear that blasted "Ghost Hunters" show. My wife is a big fan.

A while ago she was in the kitchen and I walked in like normal and it scared her. Thanks to the idiotic "Ghost Hunters."

C'mon, there can't be that many ghosts, infesting everything and every place. If there's so many ghosts, how come I've never seen or heard any? Believe it or not, I'm a spiritually sensitive person, intuitive, all that.

These guys walk into any building and something makes a noise, the building settling or something, and they're going, "I just want to be close to you, could you make that noise again?" Always looking for that cause and effect, responsiveness and compliance.

Bah! Focus on the living. They're much more interesting.

NIN - Ghosts I-IV

OK, guess what, I got this album. A 2-CD package, $12.99 at Target, I think that sounds like a good deal.

I can't exactly give a track by track summary of it, but I've been through it a time and a half. Mostly while reading at the same time, and it's definitely good for that.

I think the subtitle, something on the sticker that was on the front, said, [OK, I found it], "Soundtracks For Daydreams." And that's exactly right.

I don't know if the tracks have names. I didn't see any listed, but they're quite nice. Nice to read by certainly, and daydream to, if that's what your mood is.

There's a little bit of everything, instrumental snippets, noodling, whiling-away, distortion, clarity, piano, guitar, plink-plink, heavy, soft, not-too-wild, very wonderful, artistic, reserved, and interesting sounds. I could probably go 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., and peg everything, but that wouldn't really accomplish much.

If you're looking for something off the beaten path -- something to stimulate thought and imagination (I don't think I've overstating it) -- this is a great set.
