Hole In The Ground

Awful, awful week. No end to Klark Kent duties, and a distinct lack of clients willing to pay for such. I am looking forward to being unemployed when the housing crisis hits the construction industry full force. Recession, here we come!! As eve, nice job Bushie.

No kidding, endless tax cuts and heedless spending are a recipe for disaster, and any working stiff can tell you that. But maybe that's the issue; GWB is so far from blue collar that he'd have to make a long distance call to see it from where he is. Never done a day's worth of real work in his life. Poseur.

You wearin orange today? Our friends at the ACLU ask people to wear orange today to protest the atrocities at Guantanamo. It's the six-year anniversary. Longer for some prisoners than those in the camps of WW2. We're so civilized and advanced and modern, wheee.

Depressed and drinking random music until I lose interest: these come from recent acquisitions.

1. Sea Legs from the album "Wincing the Night Away" by The Shins I like the shins. Pinko can ridicule me if he wants. It's like a less-keyboard intensive Field Mice.
2. The Invisible Man from the album "Family" by Marillion Off the Marbles album, quite a good cut actually. But then, I've got quite a fondness for prog. Sounds a bit like a Peter Gabriel song in the muted heartbeat rhythms that start the piece.
3. Driving The Last Spike from the album "We Can't Dance" by Genesis Once in a while, they still have a good song in them. But Phil can still go back to the drums for all I care.
4. Holloway Girl from the album "Friends" by Marillion
5. When The Circus Comes from the album "Kiko" by Los Lobos
6. The Space Race Is Over (Demo) from the album "William Bloke Bonus Tracks" by Billy Bragg
7. Bedshaped from the album "Friends" by Marillion
8. Mama from the album "Genesis" by Genesis Tremendous song. I kind of wish it had a stronger ending; you can tell they didn't quite have it figured out either, because it fades on the studio track, and live they kind of rattle a drum sting off to wind it up. It's better, but it really needed a bit more of a coda or something.
9. Laughter from the album "World Without End" by The Mighty Lemon Drops Hah! Take that, Pitchforkers.
10. Big Brother Wheels from the album "Flat-Pack Philosophy" by Buzzcocks They still got it. Although Shelley's voice isn't quite as nasally as it used to be.

A few more, I guess.

11. Goalhanger from the album "William Bloke" by Billy Bragg
12. Angel In the Snow from the album "New Moon" by Elliott Smith
13. Who's Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Little Feet (Demo) from the album "William Bloke Bonus Tracks" by Billy Bragg
14. Going to Lebanon from the album "Zopilote Machine" by The Mountain Goats I love the Mountain Goats. Fantastic live.
15. Tarantula from the album "Zeitgeist" by Smashing Pumpkins Bite me, I like the pumpkins. Except for the overwrought 'Melon Collie' mess. I remember when they used to play the Unicorn here in Milwaukee all the time. Whatta dive.
16. Prismism from the album "Mirrored" by Battles Math-Prog!! Whatever that means!! Orange-toilet!!
17. One By One from the album "World Without End" by The Mighty Lemon Drops OK, now we're repeating a bit too much. No I've lost interest.

See you later.
