Charlie Don't Surf

Nada Surf (You remember them--the "Popular" guys) have a new album out, and they've got a free track up on that rcrdlbl site. It's called Electrocution, and it's a Bill Fox cover. (If you haven't heard of him, don't worry--you're not alone.) It's got that lovely jangly early seventies sound that reminds me of the Byrds, or maybe the Monkees in a particularly mellow mood.
The demo is only a minute long, and I haven't listened to the download to find out if it's the whole song or not but I have my fingers crossed. The download is the whole 3:13, but WMP is behaving oddly and just not *playing* all of it. This may be a 'strictly my machines' issue.

EDIT: You know what would probably help with that? A URL.

O Holy Night

The Society for the Prevention of the Unborn Child warns us that every abortion kills a Jesus.

I have so many responses to this collection of logical fallacies that I don't even know where to begin.

1. When a virgin gets a visit from an angel and decides to have an abortion regardless, then I'll be more worried.

2. Yes, but you're also aborting Hitler, bin Laden, Caligula, that asshole who can't drive or use his turn signals...

3. I feel certain that JHVH, being all knowing and all powerful, would have a back up plan.

And a homecoming queen

Today I made the mistake of dealing with humans and technology. It may be exacerbated by the general irritation and frustration of months spent in the throes of allergen attack, but I'm going to sum it all up by saying The Stupid Hurts and then move on. The rest of the day will be puppy dogs and sunshine. So mote it be.
