Brushed up on my Java.

Okay, I understand now. Me: Reamde, Stephenson

Lollers, it's the Dreamworks face.

Smash Pups...-ish, Oceania

Various Artists - When Pigs Fly: Songs You'd Never Thought You'd Hear -- this album is ready-made for Turntable "weird covers" night. Don Ho covers "Shock the Monkey", The Fixx cover "Boots Were Made for Walkin'", Jackie Chan and Ani Difranco duet on "Unforgettable", etc.

What it is? Also: sourdough waffle sounds awesome!

I'm not sure I understand this sentence. That's exactly why he hates it -- because it is a story about a non healthy relationship. I'm just saying, I respect his opinion, and it's largely why I won't be reading it.

The bus driver has come forward and says she doesn't want the culprits charged. Interesting. Yes you do. It's funny. I'll tell you what it does -- it finds all people in your friends list that have a certain characteristic in common, and identifies them to you -- nothing else. Doesn't contact them, doesn't post for you, nothing, the rest is up to you. Damn, that was outstanding.

Drop Electric sampler -- the second track is worth listening, if nothing else.

I heard it's awful, about an awful subject, and awfully written, I will not be reading it. It was enjoyable to read Dr. Drew trashing it, though.

New Pineapple Thief! track Cover:

^ Lollers. (You may need to log in to facebook first.)

I'm just jealous that he gets to be in a "flight". That's awesome. It's like a trip of goats -- a flight of acrobats. Or whatever. Congrats!

Thrice! Me: Peaking Lights, Lucifer -- dubby upbeat downbeat. Some of the most unironically happy music I've ever listened to...and enjoyed.

A short Afghan Whigs bender

Seriously. My mother is getting out of the hospital today and I can't be bothered to step foot outdoors.

He looks familiar, like the bastard offspring of the distant cousins of Thomas Dolby and Christoph Waltz. Or something.

Absolutely not! By all means, obtain yourself a second opinion.

Stricly speaking, it's not safe for me to walk around in public after that. There's just something about hot women in hot steamy showers...

Oh, and can't believe I forgot Stomacher! I actually helped to fund Clara -- go listen to it on streaming, at the very least. Male-voiced alternative/Indie poprock is the genre. Nice diverse album, listen to the whole thing before you render judgment.

In the car been listening to Black Heart Procession and Skinny Puppy, alternatively. I need to find a stack of blank CD-R's so I can listen to other stuff in the car until I can afford an iPod FM modulator. At home, been going around bandcamp -- Diary of Dreams, Unwoman, Majeure, Lo-Fi Resistance -- and Spotify -- Make Good Your Escape, Maccabees, iLikeTrains, et al.

No, just vacuum yourself before every listen, then keep the headphones in a vacuum sealed bag when not in use.

How often is it that the 3rd is the best instalment in a trilogy?

He really should have different images on the displays to prove his point.
