Rumor has it that Victory Records was sold to Warner Brothers. I guess Soapy Jack’s claims of being an Indie for life meant that life was short.

1.When you listen to music, do you focus on the music or the lyrics? Both? Neither? Why/why not?
It depends on my mood and what I’m listening to at the time.

2. Do you have a particular favorite instrument in which you focus on when you’re listening to music? Are you able to pick out a part and concentrate on it?
Again it depends on the song. Sometimes it is the drums (such as in the Drunk Injuns song “Program”), sometimes it is the guitars, etc.

3. How important is it to you that band be able to play their instruments well? Why/why not?
I listen to punk rock, where sometimes, NOT being able to play well was what made the music so damn good. Look at all the hardcore bands that turned metal when they learned how to play their instruments better, they ended up sucking ass!

Koga sent me this link to a feel-good story that is wrestling related. It made me smile because it was pretty touching.

Turns out they released Land of the Lost Season 2 yesterday on DVD. I didn’t even know it was scheduled to be released already, it wasn’t on the DVDTalk list. Looks like I’m hitting the store on the way home from work tonite!

I am in desperate need of this particular new record:

Crime - San Francisco’s Still Doomed LP (swami records) on WHITE VINYL

There was a sticker on the shrink wrap indicating the white vinyl copies. I’ll gladly pay for it, and throw in some sort of nice reward to anyone who can produce me a copy. It must be on WHITE VINYL, not a black vinyl one.

They crippled our internet at work, and one of the results is the inablility now to use bit torrent as the ports it used are closed. I was getting the Howard Stern show via Torrents every day in mp3 format to listen to at work and now I can’t! I am going thru withdrawl, can anyone who has access to using bit torrent during the day (around lunch time) hook me up? I can send you the link and set up FTP access for you on one of my servers. The files are about 38 meg each day. I’ll owe someone big time if they can help me.
