I don’t really listen to rock music anymore. My tastes in rock were formed by listening to KSAN and KYA in San Francisco during the late 60′s. When I moved to New York in 1975, I started listening to jazz.

The last rock LP (vinyl to you punk kids) I bought was Thriller, when it came out in 1982. The New York Times’ John Rockwell praised the album in his review, so I went to King Karol on 42nd Street and bought it. It seems you can still get the Thriller LP at Amazon.com (vinyl, I think).

So that brings me, 25 years later, to Halo 3. Still affected by the mass media, I read Ars Technica’s Halo 3 review and I pre-ordered it from Amazon.

DHL delivered it today. It’s my 4.11176471 x 10^-8 contribution to Microsoft. That’s my $59.99 part of the $170M first day sales of Halo 3.
