Lists, Links, & Frags...

Cuz it’s all I got right now.

• Debating whether or not to get Paul Westerberg tickets.

• Candle wax and stains on the carpet, still.

• A bit about BitTorrent.

• This will lead you to this will lead you to this.

• Flavor Flav loses his street cred.

• A look back at more than a quarter century of hip hop. “The leading US historian of hip hop, Nelson George, celebrates its rise - and questions this new cultural hegemony, asking who stole the soul and Steve Yates picks 25 moments that defined the music.”

• Another Carson tribute (did anyone not like this guy?), this one from President Peabs, who does not bestow such honors lightly.

• Just placed an order for a number of limited edition CDRs in the Digitalis Empire’s Foxglove series. My picks: Family LSD, The Futurians, WOLFMANGLER, Cone Bearers, and United Bible Studies. Not sure yet what any of these acts actually sound like, but, per the Foxglove mission statement, they should fall somewhere within the realm of avant/experimental/psych/drone. Psychedelic candy fer yr earholes.

• Gin & Tacos sells a professional ass-beating on ebay, “the wild west of capitalism for the modern era”, “the place where pretty much anything goes, and that which does not go (e.g., selling organs) has been explicitly forbidden because someone tried it.” Geniuses.
