Keep On Running

So I'm back from Malta and I just hit the ground running on my return. I haven't stopped a minute, except to sleep. I have hundreds (literally!) of unopened or unanswered emails. I'll write some more about my visit to Malta in a couple of days, when I start winding down for the weekend.

You should not be surprised to read that I've kept my promise and I've actually published another edition of my Mużika Mod Ieħor podcast. It's a shorter podcast than usual. I wanted to record the energy and enthusiasm that I brought back from Malta with me. I think you can hear it in my voice, even though I don't say much about why I'm as energized as I am.

The podcast opens with Dripht's cover of The Rifffs' Dance Music for Depression. It comes from a collection passed on to me by Mike Bugeja, whom I've known since primary school in the early 1970s. We're even discussing his foray into podcasting. My plan is to invite him to co-host an edition of Mużika Mod Ieħor and even hand it over to him for a week or two after that. Eventually he'll start his own podcast, of course. So, watch this space.

The second track too comes from Mike Bugeja's collection, even though I had planned to play something from this band anyway, sooner or later. The song is Misgrace by Frenzy Mono, a retro-rock outfit playing at Rookie's in Bugibba this Friday evening.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know about this week's (actually last week's) podcast before I get on with the next couple of days' work, which according to my appointment diary seem to be even busier than the first part of this week has already been.

What should surprise you (well, at least it has surprised me) is how different from last year's visit my time in Malta has turn out to be this time around. My next blog entry should be all about that.
