Henry's Diary at Biggerhand
Sunday, February 25, 2001
I've been peeking in on this one from time to time for a while, i think it's just about one of the best things ever. it's a good use of the web.
I especially like it 'cause I just realized henry is wearing one of the Grand Royal kiddie shirts in this one. Sold out, my friend.
Leisuretown Guy at Expo
Friday, February 9, 2001
Since not enough people will probably check leisuretown between now and the 17th since it only changes like once a year, i thought i'd do my best to spread the word about this rare appearance.
kinda weird, given a story i've been told about this guy.
anyway, i kinda want to go, just for this.
hrm.
Shit.

ecommerce and the consumer uberlaziness it heralds seem like they're gonna add up to one big landfill nightmare. I've been ordering from kozmo a bunch lately, and everything they deliver comes in these super extra huge double triple thick plastic bags; and if you order, say, tofutti cuties (a frozen item, to those not In the Know, as they say) and something non-frozen, such as some videos, then they give you TWO super extra huge double triple thick plastic bags! I feel like such a treasured, pampered customer, but jeeeeesus. Lay off the packaging.
Anyway, if nothing else, reading the article above will give you a morsel to chew on next time you think you have just absolutely fucking GOT to have this thing TOMORROW.
Which... kind of makes me want to go on a little "put the christ back in christmas" tirade, but... another time.
Grand Royal Magazine Online
Tuesday, November 14, 2000
Grand Royal is relaunching the magazine, except now it's a website which means it will rule much harder, but right now it probably looks thin cause it hasn't built up like 18 months of shit to put in one stack of paper, know what I mean? I'm the editor. Spread the word and talk on the message boards and the chat and stuff. We intend to rule.
REAS arrested while putting up a show at the Deitch Projects
Tuesday, October 10, 2000
I don't quite get how you can arrest someone on the basis that his tags exist on buildings if you don't catch him doing them... how is that prosecutable evidence? How do you know someone else didn't impersonate him? Did they take fucking fingerprints from the what, year-old piece?
Polymers and the Redistribution of Wealth
Thursday, August 17, 2000
This is amazing. I don't fully understand it (kinda wishing I was a touch autistic right now so that the 'polymer wires over a landscape affected by temperature' visualization would mean something to me) but jesus. This is fantastic human thinking.

The internet is funny, and the internet economy is a joke. Put it together, and you've got YUKS GALORE.
Well, Ok, the part where the people lose their life savings.. not so funny. But the part where Will Smith gets duped by a fast talking "internet entrepeneur"... that's High Comedy.

Mayor Williams is attempting to make the new "Taxation without Representation" license plates available in DC as soon as September. Go Mayor Williams! I'm sure there's some way for Congress to shoot this down though. But I hope not!

Monday, June 12, 2000
Hey, in case anyone watched the MTV movie awards (how fucking adorable is spike jonze) and were wondering what Trey Parker was talking about when he said "Free the west memphis three!"... this is what he was talking about. The sites been reworked recently too, with improved explanation for first time readers.

The Future of Music Distribution
Tuesday, May 2, 2000
In light of Metallica's ongoing bumble, I like this interview for two big reasons. 1) It delves right into the heart of the issue and 2) It doesn't pretend to offer a solution. Yet. Because THERE ISN'T ONE. Yet.

I removed my mean srini link because you know what, i have no fuckin idea what happened to that kitten, I wasn't there, and that makes it gossip. This essay, however, is not gossip.

In the latest Zogby poll, Nader came in third with 5.7% of the votes among 842 likely voters. SEVEN WEEKS AFTER HE ANNOUNCED HE WAS RUNNING, with nary a mention of his name on television and barely any in the print press.

OH my god! I JUST remembered a dream I had last night where I met the backstreet boys and I was explaining to them why N Sync was so much better and I very specifically was like "I mean what is UP with the blue pec-shaped bulletproof vests!"

"Or better yet, tie one end of the rope to a
fire escape, and feed the other to
Baby Alive, and when the second end has emerged from
Baby Alive's rectum, tie that to another fire escape
across the alley, like the clotheslines in old movies about
New York. Then Baby Alive would gradually digest its
way across the rope, traversing the alley."

Oh i'm sorry, did i already say that? Anyway, his campaign has begun and the site is up. I just made my first financial contribution to a political campaign. I volunteered to do a whole buncha other shit too. It's very exciting.

Worth reiterating
Monday, February 21, 2000
It probably has something to do with the frame of mind I was in after reading the David Sedaris esquire archives he linked to, but Mister Pants log is making me laff to the point of quite literal tears falling down my honest to god cheeks, the ones on my face, right now. I think i lost it for good when i followed the "whoa there pardner" link.

A rilly rilly good shoutcast
Monday, February 7, 2000
It's not always up but when it is, i don't even bother with my own CDs. Here's the last 10 tracks played. Last friday, for instance, it was a mishmash of like Big L, Mazzy Star, Digital Underground, and like decent Red House Painters songs, and I've never even been able to get into the Red House Painters until then, so... totally.
This is high art.

I only wish I'd done it first. Except the bit about the kiddie porn. But who knows, maybe that was a plant by some really confused and pissed off police. My favorite part is the part where the kid hands out ten dollar bills.
My Uncle Denny, who was a fucking genius, had a banana yellow corvette in the 80s in New Jersey, where and when I guess it was somethin' else to have a banana yellow corvette. He and some friends went to a restaurant and one of them pulled the hostess aside and said "please, we'd like some privacy.. no autographs." And they got treated like kings the whole meal. And when it was time to go, the waitress said "i'm very sorry, i know i'm not supposed to ask, but could you sign this?" ... probably to find out who the hell he was. So he scribbled something unintelligible and they left.
I liked my Uncle Denny a lot. He died.
I don't know why this is so funny to me...

A bunch of conservative republicans voted FOR a measure that prevents violent abortion protesters from declaring bankruptcy to get out of paying their legally imposed fines.... STRICTLY so that Gore wouldn't get to grab some headlines by casting the tiebreaking vote.
If that doesn't amount to the most childish fucking display of... childishness, i don't know what does.
WHAT DO THEY EVEN CARE if he DOES grab the headline for being pro-choice? What, they want to give Bradley a hand in the primary? Are republicans casting about for that prochoice vote all of the sudden? This article says they didn't want a repeat of the tie-breaking vote Gore cast for the bill requiring background checks at gun shows. SO THEY VOTED AGAINST THEIR OWN PRINCIPLES? Boy, they sure showed Gore!
Christ all fucking mighty.

Rare on Air tracks
Friday, January 21, 2000
1) Liquid Audio kinda rules. I mean i'd rather have mp3s, but i understand the desire on the part of labels not to make them available, i can get with that and all. The funny thing is I was listening to one of these tracks and it had to rebuffer and i got all like agitated, to a much much higher degree than I do when realaudio rebuffers and I figured out it's because the liquid sounds so good and the real so crappy that i feel like the liquid is a CD and i'd be rootin tootin PEEYOSSED if my CD player just like up and cut off in the middle of a song, know what i mean?
2) This is a link to the Rare on Air Third Volume tracks, available on liquid audio and realaudio, and I am linking it because the Tindersticks "She's Gone" is available here as performed live, and that, quite literally, is my favorite song. Ever. No lie. This is the one time I am not being hyperbolic, honestly. God i'm like the girl who cried "THE BEST!" Anyway. It's a live version recorded for the Rare on Air series and it's only recorded to two tracks so it doesn't hit nearly as hard as the album version but still, it's great. And there's other great stuff there too. Okay i think that's a long enough entry. Oh but yeah also here's links to the first collection, second, and fourth collections, each of which have amazing stuff.
There's tons more here, don't kid yourself.
