Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating In Space
I really like the tone of the album; very laid back, almost sonambulent. I’m particularaly fond of “Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space” and the beeps and vocal samples. A very smooth track, and I can see why it’s called drug music… […]
_ Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die_ A bit odd overall. Not a word anywhere. Very similar to the Ghost In The Shell Soundtrack. Very abstract, maybe too abstract, lots of bells and other noises with only slight electronic undertones. A little hard to place really… I’m fond of […]
Music: UNKLE - Psyence Fiction
Not a big fan of “Guns Blazing” or “The Knock” but “Rabbit In Your Headlights” is incredible (if only Radiohead could put this stuff out). Also fond of “Lonely Soul.” Kind of reminds me of the (don’t be mad) of the Lost In Space Soundtrack. Overall I like […]
This past weekend was a quick trip up to the mountatins before my friend Dave Van Wie left for Costa Rica. So, we took a huge ol’ crew up to Guanella Pass for the night, then took sunday morning and hiked Mt. Bierstadt (’,060 ft). Almost everyone made it up the trail (new […]
New system has passed the DVD test. I watched Go with some friends (Erica Tsai, Cyrus Hall, Dave Van Wie) using a borrowed copy of PowerDVD and it worked flawlessly. No skips, pretty good image too. Therefor my old Sigma Designs Hollywood Plus is being put out to pasture (though it may […]
Web page has been updated to use Blogger on the main page now. Old stuff has all been added so I won’t loose it. I’ll be adding a new blog as a journal soon.
Review: The House of Sand and Fog
Verdict: Hated it
Absolutely annoying examination of the futility of life. Depressing and over the top.
System is complete and operational. Windows XP did not take well to th new system and had to be reinstalled. No problems so far. Old Pentium II will now become full-time Debian Linux box when I find a 2-port KVM switch (which CompUSA does not carry).
Will Salon follow in the footsteps of Feed and Suck and bite the dust?
Maybe Salon really is going about this all wrong. Indie media on the web will be hard to keep afloat, especially with the names that Salon has attached. So what do we do? Well, I think that a viable indie news/media/content site will need to be more low key. Take […]
Ok, now that blogger ate the top of that post…
So the issue is what to do about indie news/content/media sites. It seems to me that sites like Feed, Salon and Suck may have reached to far. but not really, except maybe Salon. Suck was pretty low key. Feed didn’t have any […]
Sweet… 1.2 GHz Thunderbird and Iwill KK266 Have now arrived… May begin building system when case (Enlight 7237) and cd-rom show (creative labs).
RAM (256mb Crucial ECC PC133 CL2) has arrived… Waiting on MB/CPU/Case/CD-Rom then me have new ‘puter =)
I think Blogger hates me.
Ok… Building on my last big idea… We also include Napster style kung-fu and allow music swapping! We would need this to be pretty legit so as not to get our asses handed to us by legions of lawyers. This means only sharing music that is ok to share. This means […]
People are going to bitch and moan about not being able trade the music they bought… Of course not you whining babies! Just because you bought it doesn’t mean you can give it away to anyone you want! Music s the product of an artist.. An artist who may be getting hosed by […]
New topic… I hate having to read stuff on-line… I admit it. I much prefer to print out articles and papers to read offline… Now this doesn’t mean I print slashdot and salon… But it means at work I hate having to read papers off my monitor.
Thievery Corporation - Abductions and Reconstructions
I got into Thievery Corporation (TC) after buying The Mirror Conspiracy mostly on a whim. I wasn’t a big fan at first, but the disc has really grown on me. I really like TC’s laid back beats and worldbeat overtones. Sorta acid-jazz meets disco meets trip-hop, but the tone […]
Vision time! I see a network of music sites… All running on the same backend software, but each independent of the others. They are all tied together by a central portal, which tracks all the sites in the network. The common backend provides several services, including an Mp3 locker for online storage, […]
