Confused?!
This article amused me. I don’t really think anyone who is the average target audience of most video games probably knows who Dee Lite is, let alone is going to be confused by a character in a video game. Can you say “washed up one-hit wonder looking for a payday”? Obviously the groove moved from [...]
Shipping
Spent the better part of last nite packing up all the ebay stuff I sold that money came in for, I sure love it when people pay quickly. I also packed up the mail-orders I got so far for the JFA/Faction, and also the bands and a couple distro’s boxes of singles and sent those [...]
It never fails….
…that everytime I sell shit on ebay, someone who decides they have selective reading comprehension skills will try and pay me via credit card thru paypal when I CLEARLY STATE that I can’t take a credit card payment. And I’m not upgrading my account to accept them because then paypal gets a cut of every [...]
Finally a winner!
Today a few people came over for the wrestling ppv. While the show itself was rather uneventful, the highlight of the evening came when someone when the pot from the time bet. After 6 ppv’s of no winner and the money carrying over, someone’s time won, and IT WAS ME! There was 57 bucks in [...]
Jackpot!!!!!!!
The records just got delivered to me at work!! I am so excited right now. I can’t wait to go home and assemble everything, make an ad and update the website, and start packing up the promos!
Friday 5
1. What was the last TV show you watched? The very last thing I watched last nite was Seinfeld before I went to sleep 2. What was the last thing you complained about and what was the problem? My back, because for some odd reason it is starting to bother me again I have no [...]
Way to go guys
This article amused me. “We didn’t mean for children to see it” they claim. This claim comes from the company who’s CEO in some shareholder type meeting on the internet said, when asked about them targeting violent/older audience games at kids, something to the effect of “well if yr older brother smokes pot, you are [...]
One down, one (well 500) to go…
I got the sleeves in today for the JFA/Faction split. They turned out great! Pete (PJ Graphics – the printer) dropped them off at my house when I got home today. Here is what it looks like Shown is the first pressing. I printed sleeves for a second pressing already since it was WAY more [...]
Saturday I went to the Tivoli to see the second Lord of the Rings movie. I found out about 40 mins before the last show of the evening was to start so I called up SLO and her, cousin matt, deacon and little twain met me up there for the movie. The place was packed [...]
New radio show
If anyone cares, I compiled a new radio show for the Spontaneous Combustion site. If you have winamp and a decent connection you can listen to it here. Lots of obscure and not so obscure classic punk from the vault.
America’s other pastime
While I beleive that pro wrestling is america’s pastime, I indulged in america’s otehr pastime tonite after work. I went to the White Sox game with a couple of co-workers who had an extra ticket. These weren’t just regular tickets, they were SKYBOX tickets, which on a cold night like tonite was perfect! On top [...]
Just sick
This is just sick. Some people have WAY WAY too much disposable income. I wish I had nearly two grand to drop at a moment’s whim. Fuckers!
Fine weather – four course
It was such a nice day outside that I had to get out for lunch. I took the L downtown from work and met ash at a Potbellys that I have never been to on Clark Street. It was many blocks to walk there from the train, which was a nice journey on such a [...]
Happy Birthday Jah!
Today is Jah’s birthday, and I just wanted to publicly wish her a happy birthday. I hope she has a good day and that she gets lots of cool swag.
Friday Five (well really 6)
1. What was the first band you saw in concert? When I was a young kid, my parents took me to Old Chicago (a mall/amusement park place) and Rex Smith had a concert there. I was only there for the rides, and my mom liked Rex Smith. I spent most of the time sick in [...]
Unreal
I am watching the news and they just said that a bunch of anti-war protesters in Chicago are suing the city over the cops breaking up their protest. Let me get this straight, they decide to block lake shore drive in the middle of rush hour, thereby not only taking the police away from doing [...]
Testing Testing!
The test pressings for the JFA/Faction single came today! It sounds great, however the mastering place did it at 33rpm. This sucks for two reasons: 1: The label art says 45 rpm and it may be too late to change if they have been printed 2: I can’t put it in my jukebox as it [...]
Monday Mission 3.14
1. Would you rather impress or influence others? Why? Which do you tend to do more than the other? I’m not sure if I do one more than the other. I’d like to influence more than impress but i think that if you impress someone you may in turn influence them anyway. Impressing the ladies [...]
I’m drawing a diagram of a dead man, I’m drawing a diagram of you
Friday afternoon I got a call from the printer saying I fucked up the record sleeve layout and it is not 2-color, it is 4. So I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I did wrong. Thanks to some help from AMK at work, I was able to do it properly, [...]
Doctor Doom, a man of science, doesn’t beleive in jesus. Why the fuck should you?
Haven’t had much to say the past couple days. Tuesday I had dinner with ash at Penny’s and had a real nice time. I gave her the insert art that her friend is graciously copying for me for the JFA/Faction split. I hadn’t realized that we havent’ seen each other in 6 months until I [...]
All good things start with P
Went to the OFFICIAL LOCATION FOR PUNK ROCK BUSINESS today to drop off the sleeve artwork to be printed. While I was there, standing outside the door, I ran into Jeff Bachner, who I haven’t seen in a coupl years. He joined us for lunch and it was great to see him again and catch [...]
