.....surfing and found this animated site.

ambience::
charles atlas - felt cover

.....yea! do make say think are touring out my way. i believe this to be their first trip out to the left coast. and to make it all the sweeter,fly pan am is also on the bill. i found out about these guys through the gybe! connection,but actually like these two bands more than godspeed.
....was it just me,or did all the major news networks seem to be hoping for some sort of tragedy today?

on now::killing joke - killing joke [honour the fire!]

....wish someone would redesign my blog.
....the more i think about the r.i.a.a. going after individuals,the more pissed off i get. i have bought a hell of a lot more cds because of various file sharing programs than i did before i got into this. the radio is so stagnant in my neck of the woods. flip on any of the pop/rock/indie/rap type station here and it is basicaly a cookie-cutter playlist. how many times have i flipped the dial to find another station playing the same song i just tried avoiding.
it has been a godsend to be able to read about a band/artist,look online for a song or two and just download a track for listening. sure i have burned lots of songs,even albums from a variety of artists.but....i never would have purchased their records anyways!!! mainly because it is very samey[sic].take your nicklebacks/puddle of muds/limp bizkits and they all follow the same formulas. give me something far more adventurous.mouse on mars,autechre,sleater-kinney....any number of bands that i truly enjoy. these are the bands that i hear online and never on the radio. save for brave new waves and citr [college radio], there really is no radio station that would dare play these groups.
i've come to the realization that i will have to boycott any band or artist that belongs to the r.i.a.a.!! this is a shame,as from the sound of the sonic youth tracks i downloaded today,i would have purchased their cd.same goes for the flaming lips,queens of the stone age and any other number of bands i like.sure it won't make any difference to any of these labels associated with these groups ,but at least i'll feel better. i will buy cds still.....used! and i will buy new cds,but they will be from groups outside of north america.....hopefully out of the r.i.a.a. jurisdiction.
on now::
sonic youth - murray street cdr

....to quote my friend jeff, "the next phase" is upon us.

....i'd like to teach the world to.....what?
...saw "spiderman" last night [finally].as i seldom go to movies ,i was glad to see that they stuck mighty close to the comic books.willem dafoe stole the movie as the green goblin. this man always gives a great performance ,whether as a good guy:: "the last temptation of christ" and "white sands" or a baddie::"to live and die in l.a.". as much as i liked his "green goblin" character i am hoping they use "venom" next time. also happy that sam raimi didn't cave and put mj and peter parker together in the end.
...just trying to keep you abreast of the latest news.

now playing::
new order - get ready

....file under ::don't be a dick - isaac brock in another scrape with the law.
