Andre points to Trsly.com, which may be a lot of fun. At the very least it should give me a place to put quick links to all the *boggle* I find on the intarwebs but choose not to post here.

I’ll need to see about hacking it into my WordPress theme, but in the mean time you can subscribe to my quotes with that wild feed reading technology. (Or not. The user-level feed link is actually busted at the moment, which sucks balls.)

Last.fm just got cooler.

Free streaming. Money to the artists. Good stuff.

That’s mighty easy…

Girliest logo ever, though. ;)

Upon review, Wordpress didn’t seem to like the default Skitch markup. Could just be me, though.

May I humbly recommend that you point your web browsing application on over to Saul William’s new album The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!, which was produced by Trent Reznor (Mister Nine Inch Nails to you) and is available as either a free download in 192Kbps MP3 format or a $5 download that lets you pick between the 192, 320Kbps MP3, or lossless FLAC formats.

Now, if you ask me, $5 is just about the perfect price for an audio experience such as this. That’s pretty much what I paid for the new Radiohead thing, too. It’s even more pleasant when I know the money actually going to the artist.

And not only do you get to feel good about “sticking it to the man” by circumventing the record companies, you’ll also get what I consider a rather enjoyable album. (Added bonus: Somehow the MP3s have lyrics/blurbs that show up on the iPod. This is magic to me.)

Oh, Internets, how I love thee!

Some tidbits that make me happy:

  • Have you found He-Man? I’m not really sure why they’ve labeled this guy He-Man. He’s much more like a Chippendales dancer with his Swayze mullet, velvet choker, and perv ’stache.
  • You know who makes me happier than He-Man? German Techno Viking, that’s who! He makes me giggle with the boundless joy of a little girl.
  • Then there’s Tiffany Sutton (no known relation, thanks). Brozo pointed her out to me a while ago when her story first broke. Now she’s been to court and “attempted to show her remorse“. (I’m guessing she didn’t do so well, if that’s how they wrote it up in the paper…) I’ve bolded some awesomeness for you:
    • In one incident, she and the victim, 46-year-old Robert McDaniel, were high on drugs and drunk when he agreed to be tied up during sex, a police report states.

      McDaniel told police he became scared and asked Sutton to untie him when she attacked him with a knife. Instead, she sliced his leg, punctured his arm, shoulder and back, and cut his neck and stomach, court records show. When he escaped, she chased him with a pickax.

    • So you’re telling me there were multiple incidents? Did the others involve excavation tools?

Track o’ the Post: Moaner from Boucoup Fish by my favorite techno wizards, Underworld
(FYI: This is the first time Amazon didn’t have the MP3 download for the track I originally wanted to use: “I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor” by the Arctic Monkeys, which I still think is the more appropriate/amusing choice.)

What’s the Meme?

Just a couple quick hits worth noting:

  • This morning I gave Radiohead two British pounds for the digital download of their new album, In Rainbows. They let you pick your own price. I put mine on the low side because I’m only a marginal Radiohead fan (and the album web site is a pain in the ass). It’s still more than five times the $0.74 per CD music artists supposedly get from the labels (if they’re lucky).
  • Say what you will about the French, they sure have talented news anchors (careful, boobies!).
