On November 25, 1987, a fifteen year old version of me went to my very first “real” concert, to hear one Alice Cooper at the Municipal Auditorium. I pushed my way up through the general admission crowd to hug the barrier for a front row view in spitting distance of Alice. By the end of [...]
if you’ve been paying any attention, you’ll have figured out that my musical tastes basically fall into a triangulation between the loud / scary / dark / angry, the artsy / intellectual / hi-brow, and the meditatative / psychedelic / trance-inducing.

I just got back from seeing Jet Li’s Fearless. Verdict? Well, if you like marital arts epics, you’ll love it. If you don’t — well then what the fuck good are you anyway??

Kleinheider on Gore.
Yeah pretty right on with those thoughts. Personally I’ve been rooting for a Gore 2008 campaign for a while now. Gore/Feingold would have me dancing in the aisles.
Of course I have to give props to Kn@ppster who’s been saying the same thing for at least a year now.
Seems like a good time to [...]
I’ve mentioned a few times the new voter re-enfranchisement procedures. Just wanted to post a note to anyone else trying to take care of this: at the ACLU town meeting, Ray Barrett, Administrator of the Davidson County Election Commission, indicated to us that the Certificate of Restoration could be filled out by the criminal court [...]
