I would recommend taking time to listen to these: *if any artist or label has a problem with their music on this site, email me and I'll take it off*

. Broken Social Scene / self titled "_Hotel" and "7-4 Shoreline" | Arts & Crafts



. Dosh / Pure Trash "_Simple Exersizes" and "_I think I'm getting married" | Anticon

My other favorite album from him is his 2003 self-titled promo disk. Its the kind of music that brings back the feeling of a snow-day. -when your normal routine is welcomly interrupted.



. Akron/Family "_Shoes" and "_Before and Again"| Young God Records

Same label who carries Devendra Banhart. If you like this then I highly recommend Devendra's 'Nina Rojo' or 'Rejoicing in the Hands'.

. The Arcade Fire [EP] "_No Cars Go", and "_The Woodland's National Anthem" | Merge Records

_google video -I wouldnt be suprised that in 10 years this will be the way people watch tv. Even though still in beta, searching "daily show" kept me entertained for a while.

_PlayAnywhere - and here is how video games will be played in 10 years
_ Kancho Assassin - journal of an American teacher at school in Japan.
_"Man kills buck with bare hands in bedroom" - "He's in the freezer," the man said before walking to the kitchen and showing off pounds of freshly wrapped venison.

_the saddest caveman

Well, we got officially bitchslapped by hurricane Wilma. When voice calls started going through on Sunday and I was able to talk with family and friends from elsewhere in the US, it became apparent that there wasn't much public knowledge of what was going on down here. When I finally got access to an internet connection Friday, I started searching google news for 'hurricane wilma'. and kept finding this same quote in the news articles from some gem. It gives a perfect glance inside the mentality of Southern Florida-

"I miss not having a hot shower," Jenny Pearce said. "But what can we do? We could sit around and cry about it, but instead I prefer to go to the mall."

thats right - "We could sit around and cry about it, but instead I prefer to go to the mall." No wonder other countries hate us. You can find that quote in about 6 different articles posted in newspapers or around the net. Seeing the lack of any real coverage, and the abundance of short articles including the above quote, you can't but help notice the 'tough-in-cheek'ness of the writers doing a disaster update on South Florida.

But anwyay, it's been a week and streetlights are still down and curfew is still in effect. You can still smell that anti-freeze stench of electricy burning in some areas. I don't feel like typing the same story over so I'm just going to post up my _response to an email I got earlier.

_Montage-a-google - a brilliant flash site that makes montages from keywords using Google's image search. Guess-the-google is pretty interesting too.

_usefull elevator hack -at least until every other person knows about it.
_classic chat log - this is so goddamn funny

_dammit -at least the winds have died down since Thursday

_Switch is a great freeware sound-file converter. I stumbled on this last night trying to convert wma's to mp3's.

_justaddnoise is up and running again keeping tabs on the bleeding edge of independent music. Nice new layout too. Nick (the creative honcho/webmaster) also runs Her Majesty's Pleasure Clothing Co.

_Epic 2014 -this has been out for a while, but I'm just getting this site running and its a necessary addition.

_Need an image of a cassette tape?

_Google Hacks - Everything from 'Google Battle' where you can search, for instance, who is more popular; the Beatles or the Stones? to 'Google Talk', where, "...Google will finish your thoughts by searching for what comes next after these words."

_del.icio.us - basically bookmark sharing, but thats a lot more fun than it sounds.
