back from cmj.. lots and lots and lots of work to catch up on. then i’ll catch up on the information superhighway..

heres who i saw: de novo dahl, eiffel tower, r.u. o.k., john vanderslice, tim fife, new pornographers, john vanderslice, goblin cock, wrens, dios (malos), cribs, brian jonestown massacre, holopaw, fruit bats, kinski, rogue wave, and wolf parade.. and there were maybe two whose names i dont remember because they werent very good.

ted, karina, and i are going to write an account of our trip complete with pictures (and a great story involving japanese food, nick zimmer from yeah yeah yeahs, and a cab ride to hoboken with anton from brian jonestown massacre)..

also there is a shitload of fab music out this week. we went through mail last night at bor from eight thirty until midnight.. we are going to start a ‘best of new’ weekly bor podcast. hopefully we’ll have the first one by wednesday.. i’ll link it when it exists.

live music, heady russian milk equals gouranga gouranga gouranga

September 12th, 2005 at 9:48 am (Music, News, Novel)

http://tela.sugarmegs.org/
over four thousand live shows from groups that are taper-friendly. tons of bands including some bob marley and about 2.3 shitloads of grateful dead shows. theyre all wmas which blows, but this is a serious collection worth raiding

a friend sent me this snippet. (thanks chris)
“Good week for Cows after Russian authorities announced that bales of confiscated marijuana will be used to feed cattle over the winter. ‘I don’t know what the milk we be like after this’ one Russian official said.”- The Week.

after a little investigation, i found this article with some silly illustrations
http://www.mosnews.com/news/2005/08/16/cowfeed.shtml

probably the most bizzare spam ive ever received. no link, just gouranga

Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga ….

wikipedia says
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouranga

urbandictionary.com says
1. gouranga
A word that appears on moterway bridges in north west UK. It’s only purpose to annoy drivers who are left with a nagging curiosity for the rest of their day until the next day when it ceases to become important ever again.
for god sake why did they have to colour it in. Now it’s more noticable and more annoying
Source: Rob, Apr 17, 2003

and
9. gouranga
A bonus word and sound that appeared in the original Grand Theft Auto, when you ran over a line of Hare Krishnas, and managed to kill them all. Apparently comes up when you kill a certain number of people in quick succession, but only every witnessed during the Hare Krishna massacre.
Dude!! I just ran over all those Hare Krishnas and got a GOURANGA!

explains why gouranga.com is a gta tip site…

for some reason, safari doesnt load the button for making links (any ideas?).. anyway practice those copy and paste skills until i feel like opening firefox..

ipod nano, malasia to the moon?

September 7th, 2005 at 2:17 pm (News, Science, Technology)

http://engadget.com/entry/1234000030057785/
live updates from mac’s music event in sf. they just introduced the ipod nano. sounds like it splits the difference between the shuffle and mini.. 1/5 the size of original ipods, weighs less than five quarters, fits in jeans’ fifth pocket, fourteen hour battery life, and it comes in black. kanye was on hand to give props and bash bush. hollar.. oh and theres that motorola rokr that has itunes on it and room for one hundred songs.

first they build the tallest buildings in the world. and now they want to go to the moon.
