I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all.

Just updatey comments stuff.
I'm going to try and see Forbidden Kingdom tomorrow afternoon. Maybe early, to avoid the annoying crowds, probably at Homeyplex because I have free passes from ELO_SF. Anybody care to join me?
Also, Rock Band has infected the house. The housemate and I are assembling tracks from the playlist (I have 36 so far) that can then be listened to, mostly for help learning the vocal tracks. Surprisingly, my biggest hole is in the new music you kids these days listen to. But I have iTunes money, and some of these songs are actually kind of cool.

Oh yeah, for some reason buying used CDs doesn't make me feel at all guilty. Do a lot of artists have donation links on their webpages? I was pleased when JoCo did it, but it seemed an unusual case rather than a default.

Some do, some don't. Oftentimes you can find an email link and ask if they have a Paypal account - some people seem to think having a "tip jar" up on your website is tacky, but would be happy to accept a contribution that someone offered. (I've never understood that thinking, myself - websites ain't free to maintain, and you're not being personally asked for a contribution where you could potentially lose face by saying "no". To incorporate themes from our other conversation. ;)

I will have to look into this option. I imagine it's much easier to manage for the smaller-industry musicians, like Lee Press-On (but I can buy his albums directly from him more or less anyway) than somebody like The Police. Of course, Lee Press-On doesn't have songs on Rock Band yet. I'm waiting for the brass-section attachment for the PSIII.
