With the Bahrain Grand Prix starting next weekend, a new team has slid into place on the grid. Hispania Racing, formerly Campos Meta, had struggled with financial difficulties and looked as if they would be a no show. However, a last minute deal saw the team purchased by Spanish businessman Jose Ramon Carabante. Although, the team has missed out on all pre-season testing, they are prepared to make it to the grid in Bahrain.

The Whacky Crap You Can Find on the Internets

Phish’s New Album ~ “Joy”

June 25, 2009 · Posted in Rambles · Comment 

In case you haven’t noticed, Phish is back and on tour. They have also been in the studio recording tracks for a new album, “Joy”, due to be released sometime in August.

They have been playing most of these new songs on their current tour. And I gotta say that I rather like them. Of course, I’m also hearing them performed live which is always better then studio recordings.

If you want to give the new album a listen to, they have a nice set-list over at Jamtopia. The site also has lyrics for those of you who need to learn the songs before heading off to your next Phish concert.
