Neil and the death of Oink

So apparently there was this site called oink.cd and it was supposed to be greater than Napster in the early days, but I never heard about it until it was shut down. Did you guys? Was it so awesome? Since the authorities stepped in, their site now has a pretty hilarious way of telling you how to get other music for free from the web, like this little tune here, which I found using Google.

If you don't have a copy of this yet, enjoy the riffsmanship.

So that's where Uma Thurmon's jumpsuit came from

Bruce Lee's final battle. He died while making this movie. Intense! Feel free to skip ahead to when the sweet theme music kicks in and Kareem starts bringing the pain.

The keyboardist in my band has a great blog here, where he posts full albums and reviews them. Click on the album name to download the tracks.

so awesome

Before you thought about beginning, you didn't

In preparation for their Nov. 6 show at Toad's, I picked up the new Band of Horses album, Cease to Begin, the other day and was pleasantly surprised by both the songs and the packaging. I guess it's been a while since I bought a CD, so it struck me that this one had a series of CD-sized pictures instead of liner notes, all taken by the band's photographer. If one were so inclined, the set might make a tasteful addition to a wall near you. Hadn't seen anything like it, but it's got to be a necessary step in the post-"In Rainbows" era. Add something to the aesthetic experience or just give me the tunes.

As for the music, "The General Specific" and "Detlef Schrempf" are personal favorites in the South-Carolina-by-way-of-Seattle rock genre. Nice, melodic stuff, some of which is named for this former Sonics stud. If this were NBA Jam, he'd be on fire, with Shawn Kemp hooking up a sweet alley-oop.

Still funny

You don't know where you're going you cross the street you don't know why you did you walk back across the street

Why can't a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy that he thinks his booty is fly?
