living in the city feral cats are a rat-battling godsend. those cats are keeping the streets safe at night for little kids and other people crawling around in the gutters.

there are two tapes from 1985 that were posted a while back on mutant sounds. i assume both links are still good. both of these are phenomenal.

i remember looking online for stuff another time and finding a mix that someone had posted to zshare or one of those places, i'll look for that.

wait, why do people take all these drinks and pills (the nofun kind)? is it to put on weight? i've known several people who got on their roids "cycle" all with the aim of "getting big." they were all normally built so i always assumed they felt they would get respect once they got HUGE. why not just learn how to box and then know you can kick someone's ass if you have to?

the best part of the clemens thing was when he was asked if he was a vegan (the line of questioning had to do with why he would be taking B12) and he said he couldn't answer that question. When he was asked why not, he said "I don't know what that means."

i live borderline the ghetto and there is an unmarked ice cream truck that shows up every night between 10-11pm. it parks in the street next to the alley behind my house and has a buzzer that the guy holds down for around a minute, like a doorbell buzzer.

if no one comes out it holds it down again. summer, winter, doesn't matter. i've only seen people go over to it a few times over many months. i just figured it was Big Perm selling bags or something but the people i've seen have bought bags of chips. Can't be a money maker. He'll be there tonight though.

i am fairly sure it is illegal due to the CAN-SPAM Act, which is a shit law, and doesn't really matter, but with that i am fairly sure you can contact your cellphone people and they will take it off the bill. not that it isn't a huge fucking pain in the ass regardless.

mp3s will never die, at least not for quite a while. for starters, among users it is the one format that is not proprietary and does not carry DRM. while DRM can be added to it, in theory i suppose, it is not part of mp3. this is why it will always be superior to things like .aac or .wmv, etc. Companies are actually starting to turn back to it because there is so much bullshit going on with well 1) trying to figure out if there is any way to make money from downloads that is not itunes, which doesn't necessarily make money from downloading, and 2) how to fix the fact that only certain music plays on certain players.

As to the fact that it might be done away with because of extra storage and booming bandwidth. The former might be true, storage is growing, but the later is certainly not true, particularly in the US. The US, while it has the highest number of broadband users, is slipping in broadband penetration. This is due to a lot of reasons. Regardless, what the FCC classifies as broadband is 200kps. This is about 10X slower than what countries such as South Korea or others consider broadband. That said, some of those countries, such as S.Korea, where you can download movies onto your phone (its true) have caps on the amount of info you can download per month. This is what US companies would like to enforce and there are current battles over this, such as you see with what Comcast is trying to do.

Short point, mp3 will not go away because while broadband capacity will rise over the next generations the amount of control the ISPs will exert due to legislation or their own interests, will mean that trading large files will not be tenable.

at least that is one view of it.

no, but it depends. for example you could get a ticket today for probably $70 one way to nyc from boston but tomorrow they might be $102. amtrak has a system now where the prices go up with demand. i've routinely seen prices from nyc to dc for $140+ one way.

Is Amtrak cheap in the west and midwest? cause a train from boston to ny, say, will run about $120, one way, at least.

Super Furry Animals- Mwng CD

i like this cd quite a bit. i think it qualifies as a really good psyche record. it might just be b/c they are singing in welsh. but there is something about it that bring me back.
