Stuff and Bother
May. 11th, 2004 09:01 pmA few random things:
Broadband is evil. It's eating away at time I normally set aside for my writing, and now I'm goofing off, sending emails, checking out sites, downloading...umm...err..."music"...and most of all, setting up my LAUNCHcast radio station. For anyone in the know, my station is joncwriter. I've got the normal station and then I've got three different "mood" stations, including one called "Die Joncswerk OST", which is primarily stuff I'd listen to while writing. The neat thing about this is that I'm finally hearing bands that I would otherwise have skipped over. Right now Lambchop's "Action Figure" is playing...I never knew these guys were so good! Damn that Launchcast...Damn it all to hell. ;)
And in other news, apparently Robert Smith has been hanging around Perry Farrell too long. He's concocted a summer festival called Curiosa, which has basically the same type set up (main stage, side stage, etc). And check out the line-up: The Cure, Interpol, The Rapture, Muse, Thursday, Mogwai, Cursive, Melissa Auf Der Maur (IMO the only decent thing to come out of Hole), Cooper Temple Clause, and more to be announced. Let's put this in bold, shall we? I MUST GO TO THIS SHOW.
And in still other news, the new Mission of Burma CD rocks. It's great to have them back among the living...it's been too long, and cranking up Birdsongs of the Mesozoic just wasn't cutting it. Other rockin' cds: The Magnetic Fields, i; The Beta Band, Heroes to Zeros; and of course, Pixies' Wave of Mutilation: Best of. And I'm proud to say that I...um...heard a copy of The Grey Album. As a consummate Beatles fan, I was impressed. Now if only I could get a hold of a used copy of ProTools... *sigh*
