My Buffalo Stance is this:
- Buffaloes should have the right to choice. Their choice has no direct effect on you.
- Buffaloes can use the bathroom that corresponds with their identity. The bathroom they choose has no direct effect on you.
- Buffaloes should be free to marry who they choose, provided that other party consents. Who they marry has no direct effect on you.
- Buffaloes should be able to go to the mall or the multiplex to see Barbie-Q without fearing gun violence.
- Buffaloes should be free to move about where they choose and not be confined to one geographical location.
- There should be no restrictions placed on the book a buffalo may choose to read or eat. A buffalo learning about something has no direct effect on you.
- Buffaloes can dress and wear their hair as they choose, even at school. How a buffalo styles their hair has no direct effect on you.

Along with a handful of other folks, I was invited to a friend’s home today for a celebration, which I can only assume is in honor of the birthday today of Nicolas Godin of the French duo Air. Nicolas provides vocals and plays keyboards, bass, and guitar, or should I say Air guitar. Man, I’m funny!

The Avalanches’ Robbie Chater estimates there are around 3500 samples used on the group’s Since I Left You album. As someone who negotiates sample uses, I pity the poor soul who had to secure and track those licenses!
Robbie Chater celebrates a birthday today. Or maybe he doesn’t celebrate it. I don’t know. I don’t know him. Either way, I celebrate. Lots of cuts by The Avalanches on today’s playlist.
