My ears hurt after some loud metal, they need sonic medicine. Cue up…
And because everything refers to everything else… where does Explosions in the Sky steal their title for one of their greatest songs? If you guessed East of Eden, award yourself two scenester points.

I wanted to have a show called Music NERD! that talked about the weird shit that goes on in music or at least dive into my favourite bands in a sickly dorky way.
Rozie (I think) sent this link. Weird.

“Green” power is an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen? Do people even know what they’re saying anymore when they pitch a new power project idea or do they just ad-lib the proposals… this is so confusingly backwards.

After the Thursday morning meeting, DW showed me this crazy video of a ginormous ant colony that scientists excavated in like Africa or Australia or PEI ( I dunno, somewhere with red soil).
Pol, Jason and I were all huddled around the computer in awe. Then I thought, “damn you science! you killed all these cute [...]

well that is the forecast.
I have always been pro-snow. I am wee bit concerned if it dumps and dumps tonight while I am DJing. I know the Jeep will fine, but what if it scares people away from tipping pints? I am some what encouraged by this story in the Times Colonist today.
