Reconstructing myself - where to begin? Last night my wife of 22 years announced that she and I were finished as a married couple. Now, at the age of 53, I find myself alone. Presently, I am seeking the anonymity of a bunch of strangers because it doesn't seem hurt as much this way. A cross sectioning if you will. Besides, MetaFites are generally a younger bunch, and they may have a more optimistic perspective on this. [more inside]

I want to make a compilation of songs that are absolutely impossible to dance to. The odder the meter, the more disconcerting the time changes, the better. I want songs so undanceable-to that they would leave even Dave Brubeck and Jaco Pastorius staring uncomfortably at their feet, wondering where the punchbowl was. [more inside]

This got us off scot-free, but we both knew the time would come again... and it's here. We need a final solution. [more inside]
