In case you don’t usually make it over there, thesuspects.com has a live, previously unreleased recording of “Another Day Another Dollar” available for download in mp3 format… go get it.
My new favorite band for today… Jah Division.
This gives me renewed drive to record an idea I came up with four or five years ago when The Suspects were searching for new covers to learn: a dub version of Bauhaus’ “Bela Legosi’s Dead”.
My wife and I just re-upped with Verizon and thanks to their “new every two” policy we were able to get their latest color disco phone, the LG VX4400.
Since I’m a geek, I immediately seached the web for info on how to hack the damn thing and I was not dissapointed. Twenty bucks, a download, and a little reading later, I was throwing my own ringtones and backgrounds on my phone WITHOUT paying a cent to THE MAN.
I’ve created a few backgrounds for the VX4400 and posted them to the VX4400Images Yahoo Group… perhaps I’ll mirror them here, too.
When I was a kid I loved airplanes more than anything else, and even now I spend a little too much time watching the Discovery Wings channel. Given that, I’ve been curious as to why the military is using the U-2 (a very, very old plane with good capabilities) instead of the SR-71 (a kinda old plane that still holds world records) to fly spy missions over Iraq. This site, authored by a former SR-71 Crew Chief, answered all of my questions.
And I apologize if you thought that this might be about a couple of bands.
Note to self: Form a band who’s songs all deal with balms, salves, and ointments. Perform and record all your material in a modern rock style, with heavy emphasis on how those products make you feel. Use lots of jerky rhythms and dissonant-sounding chords in the music. Name the band, “The Emo-llients“.
