    snapfuck LaHood!
    it just occurred to me that our current Secretary of Transportation has actually ATTENDED A SUIT & TIE GUY BAND GIG.

    One World Coffee & Cargo, late 1999. either the month before or the month after the infamous "drummer in a box" show.

    fucking insane.

    Torchwood 3: EP1
    OKAY SO COULD YOU PUT MORE MAKEUP ON THESE PEOPLE?


    why is it that orange was the colour of the day for faces? everyone in this episode had obvious unnecessary and unnatural makeup.

    jesus christ what is wrong with their natural pallor? why does this stereotype of tan=healthy still exist despite the fact that a "healthy" tan will give you handbagface and/or cancer at significantly greater probability than smoking a pack a day will give you lung cancer?

    and
    my TR-808's maracas are DOA and its sequencer sporadically decides to speed up to 400 BPM and then start oscillating all the drum voices randomly and wildly. also, my TR-909 feels like rebooting sporadically. i'm not upset about these things but i'd like to fix them.


    does anyone have any suggestions other than "give them to me"?

    O HOLY SHIT
    it's been 9 years since my straw boater shrunk to beyond wearability after the Iowa City Jazz Festival in the year 2000. or was it 2001, making that eight years.




    does anyone know? FUCK i'd like to have a straw boater right now. going to have to make do with a custom-woven panama i guess.

    quote from a recent forum post of mine, reposted here. in regards to my desire for old instruments.
    if i own something because someone i liked used it and i wish to reach a deeper understanding of where the art i like came from and the only way i can do it is by listening to the records and acquiring (or in my case, making) the gear and learning how to use it and then making music with it, it's not fucking nostalgia it's fucking EDUCATION.

    today's lesson: you have too much freedom and pay too little tax
    hey don't you think it's awesome our president banned clove cigarettes last week (but made the US safe for those menthols he likes) and is going to tackle the fireplace epidemic next week, while at the same time Iran piles the bodies of protesters into dump trucks to haul them off?

    "My call to every senator, as well as to every American, is this," Barry said. "We cannot be afraid of the future. And we must not be prisoners of the past. Don't believe the misinformation out there that suggests there is somehow a contradiction between investing in clean energy and economic growth."

    our smoker-in-chief is full of shit. there is already plenty of economic incentive to invest in clean energy. we don't need higher taxes to do so. nor do we need an energy audit to find out how efficient our homes are and wether we posses "carbon emitters" to see what drastic changes need to be made to property before it changes hands.

    more taxes will not change this planet's climate. if you drink the global warming kool-aid then you know that we're on an irreversible road to devastation, if you are completely skeptical you don't care because its irrelevant, and if you're in between it only makes sense if you have your head buried in the sand and don't see all the effort in the past 10 years put towards non-fossil-fuel-based energy, which most people can tell is obviously necessary without the government pissing them off in an effort to remind them it is.

    Billy Mays has left the building. like Michael Jackson, he was 50.

    i'm going to go wash my clothes with Oxi-Clean in his honour.

    on a more serious note, the only personal anecdote i've ever heard about Mays is one Anderson_Crook relayed to me. a few years ago an SIU film student was working on his thesis film or something important like that, and had the idea that during a certain sequence of events Billy Mays would pop up in a small part of the screen and start talking about wormholes ... like, space wormholes.

    he didn't think that he could afford to hire him for it, but he called Mays' agent anyway. there was some discussion and Billy got back to him: he'd do it for free if the guy would come to Tampa, where he lived.

    "A Night Out With The Funk Brothers" - on HDNet
    the director on this is is incompetent. it's called "A Night Out With The Funk Brothers" but all the focus is on the guest vocalists.

    and there is never any camera on the _really_ old guys on the stage. totally rude.
    3:33 am
    congratulations
    your messiah has banned clove cigarettes and is now going to do the same for fireplaces.

    this retarded "climate change" bill requires that you get an "energy audit" if you're selling your house. carbon emitters like fireplaces may need to be removed.

    okay i've finally got the boot of them rehearsing in the studio for the tour.

    fuck.

    i really like what Cozy brought. he brought rock to this band in the mid 80s. commercially? bad idea ... but prog rock in the 80s was inherently a commercial failure. artistically? Cozy doing his thing from his perspective with rock beats and this music fits better than post-click track Palmer did alot of times. Cozy just _feels_ better keeping time and adding accents in his way than Palmer did after that fucking asshole who convinced him to change his whole approach did his damage.

    it's a god damn shame this whole project was an abortion.

    if only their retarded coked-up management had let them go with the Giger art for the cover of the album i think people would view this period differently.

    facebook is evil
    "hey let me go through all of your email to see if you know someone here. just give me your email address and password ... i'll do the rest. don't worry, man. it's cool ... I'M FACEBOOK!"

    wut? R U SRS?

    you've gotta be kidding me. what a completely reckless feature.
