article from the American Conservative magazine about Cheney/DOD’s plan for a massive air strike on iran in response to a 9/11 type attack, whether or not iran is directly involved. over 450 targets to be destroyed with both conventional and nuclear weapons… i’m glad the conservative press is starting to freak out too..

Watson gathers info from the web based on what you are working on at the time. sooo cool. you could start writing a paper and it would be finding sources and whatnot in the background.

the hyena people of nigeria. most likely the baddest motherfuckers on the planet. leash in one hand, bone in the other. one hardass dude has the balls to not put a muzzle on his hyena on a semi-busy street. most hyena owners seem to wear skirts and probably never get shit about it either.

there were some punk bands playing downstairs when i got home. the band that just finished actually got me off the couch to investigate. the trio plays punk with violin, bass, and drums. and they rocked like whoa. shouldve brought my camera because the violinist is fucking intense. they are playing at the knitting factory old office tomorrow night at ten.
i was planning to go to sleep early tonight because i havent done that in a while. but it sounds like another band is tuning..
update. they are too loud and played a poor punk pixies cover.. feedback doesnt help me sleep whatsoever

went to a screening of Dig! last night. its a documentary about the brian jonestown massacre and the dandy warhols. the director and dp talked and answered questions after the film. and then there was an open bar. rock and roll. i had no idea anton (and various other massacre-ers) were so insane. i think my favorite part was when he called some heckler a pussy and to come towards the stage where he proceeded to kick the fuck out of his face. rock and roll. oh and when they sent the tambourine guy to negotiate a record contract.

the u.s. military is running out of bullshit…
Following are the two quotes as provided by the U.S. military in news releases:
Sunday’s news release said: “‘The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the ISF and all of Iraq. They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today and I will now take the fight to the terrorists,’ said one Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified.”
The July 13 news release said: “‘The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the children and all of Iraq,’ said one Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified. ‘They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today and I will now take the fight to the terrorists.’”

after giving heartbreaker a 9.0 and everything since an average of 4.3 (with a low of 2.9, not counting the rating of the gold bonus disc), pitchfork might be burying the hatchet with ryan adams. for all the bad press he got for those albums, AMG at least concedes that the genre of rock and roll involves both music and attitude by definition.
pfork gave cold roses a 7.2 (vs AMG’s 4/5 stars, or ‘8′ for you decimal lovers) and interviewed him again about him being an asshole, pitchfork being assholes, his quarter-life crisis, his songs, fans, and love of the grateful dead. and weed.
apparently last years pfork/ryan adams interview didnt settle much
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/interviews/a/adams_ryan-04/
maybe the pitchfork staff will put on american beauty sometime and realize that not all hippy music sucks as much as theyd hoped. and that not all indie kids hate ryan adams and take pfork as canon. cold roses is more in tune with his alt-rock whiskeytownish roots than his recent fascinations with stadium rock. but he has three albums coming out this year.. they sound interesting from his descriptions but i find his quantity over quality songcrafting approach (All Music Guide calls it “diarrhea of the recording studio”) a little odd. but hey, if he can sell 3x as many albums with only an albums worth of solid material, he’ll still be laughing on his way home from the bank…

AMG speculates “The coming months with their coming LPs will reveal whether this is indeed a shift in his point of view, or just a brief break from his trademark blustering braggadocio.”
