people are so busy nowadays that they forget to just sit down and remember the finer moments of this country's history. i request that you take a moment and relive the day fabio got hit, in the face, by a bird, on a roller coaster.

maybe now that she's exhausted she'll put some damn clothes on.

doncha love how things like this slip under the radar while oodles of attention is given to things like the break up of tom cruise and nicole kidman?

today's drama: mariah carey leaves random, and kinda ominous, messages for her fans. be sure to read along with the real audio clips.

so, with mariah freaking out, and those dudes from metallica and backstreet boys in rehab, it looks like we're going to have some much needed out with the old in with the new in the music industry soon.

so, without further ado, i predict that the next big thing will be one of the following:

a) guido dance music
b) alt country
c) 2 step garage
d) digital hardcore
e) emo

oh, and we should start seeing retro-chic catch up to the god awful vanilla ice/mc hammer years by the end of next year.

and remember, laughing at other peoples' misfortunes is wrong, especially when it's an overblown pop star that sings vacuous music.

after being down for months and months and months, ovum records' site is back online. churning out quality deep/tech house with traces of philly soul, josh wink's label can do no wrong. i'm not lying when i say "i'd take a bullet for ovum".

i don't know what's wierder, the evolution of courtney love from riot grrrl to kinda flakey hollywood person (i don't think hole even exists anymore) or the fact that there is a nirvana llc.

apparently, pearl harbor has set box office records for a disney film in japan. is it safe to call this irony?

hey everyone, let's ALL go into rehab!

remember when bands had really cool names? shirley temple of doom does!

when twisted, my favorite record label, went under a year and a half ago i was just about devastated. now they're back, and the first single is rather wonderful (despite the annoyingly tweaky breakdown). it's time for the revolution, you've been warned.

this past week i finished reading eric schlosser's fast food nation and it's definitely one of the most disturbing things that i have ever read. although i highly recommend reading it, if you enjoy eating meat approach this book with caution.

it's very odd to, at the age of 25, learn that you have your own neighborhood in minneapolis. who knew?
