Pancake People

Nicholas Carr’s article in The Atlantic last year – Is Google Making Us Stupid – provided alot of ammo for our boozey old-man complaining sessions.  I was reading it again today and happened to hop over to another essay which Carr cites in the article http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/foreman05/foreman05_index.html  and thought I’d post it.  Why?  Cos it makes you look alot cooler if you post the deep cuts and pretend you read obscure philosophical blogs all the time.   Oh, and it was interesting.

Snobbery Ho!!

Master on Lala

Master – The Press

CMJ, Video on Fuse TV, and the coming of INTEOTWIJTEOAE

If you are on the mailing list, then you just got yourself a fancy little email about all this. If you’re not, well……shit happens and sometimes it’s your fault. You should have signed up. And now that ship has sailed. You paid for a tarot card reading and the gnarled gypsy’s hand has shown you a the six-horned-BloodGoat-of-death card. You have shown up to school in a wool body suit and everyone else is naked; and so on and so forth….

The skinny:

CMJ – we are playing Thursday (10/22) at The Charleston and Friday (10/23) at Legion, both in Brooklyn, both at 8pm.

Fuse TV - our video for Master will be available On Demand for all of November. I think this whole cable TV thing could really catch on and be the next be tech wave.

1. Master

2. Fine China

3. Pattern Mill

4. The Continental Divide

5. Dropped from Airplanes

8. Bless this Mess

10. Pineapple Rabbits

11. Jellyfish Wrangler

Skydiving

We went skydiving for Mr. Henry’s birthday.  Dave, Alex, Chuck and our friend Tex can all be seen in the plane.  As for the awkward strap grabbing and looking up, they make you do that.   However, the crying and craven last min bargains made with Satan, those were all voluntary.   Also, youtube cut the jockjams that make up the audio of the video for copyright reason.  Enjoy the silence.

Ye Ol\’ Stompin Grounds

Despite the disappointment of our SXSW trip getting cut short, it was a pleasure to get back to ATL and Alabama.  Thank you to everyone who came out to the shows. It was a goddamn delight.

One of the most insightful pieces I’ve seen on how and why things fell apart so quickly.  Well worth the read.
