Simon Bar Sinister

I'm thinking of a new song I'm writing, and how to narrow the hundreds of possible words down to the right remaining 30-40 that I still need.

"special" - euphenism for retarded

I like your taste in design, phluteloop - especially architecture. Good eye. on topic: college educations for my niece & nephews.

Destination Unknown? Not any more.

The Magic Stick has a roof deck? I hope it's in better shape than the bathrooms. sounds like fun nonetheless.

I actually miss being in a band right now. That feeling of sound pouring out of you and into your guitar, and from there down into your amp where it would lunge out of the speaker cabs - DAMN!

more fiber optic clothing!

I would be willing to bet a few $$$ that the "problem", such as it is, lies somewhere along these lines.

Katt Williams!

*bump* Just a note to the fans: Carl Craig is back on board DEMF/Movement for 2010! Yes, the same man who signed Autechre and Tortoise for the 2001 festival is going to help put together next year's lineup. See you there!

I'll most likely be there, as it's supposed to be pissing rain tomorrow evening and the Coldplay gig's outdoors.

Was hoping for more rarities from NIN, but whatever. If that does indeed turn out to be their last show here, it was a good one. JA was much better that I expected. Everything's tuned down a whole-step now; that helped some songs (example: Three Days, Mountain Song) and hurt others (Then She Did, Stop). Obvious was a great song to pull out of the JA hat, but Ted, Just Admit it... has got to fucking go.

any unexpected onstage craziness this time? One of the main guys in FischerSpooner has loads of family in this area, and I remember him telling a story about his aunt diving off the stage 2 or 3 songs into one of their shows here.

The 2009 Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival is about to start; lots of virtuoso performers laying down classical music old and new. Various venues scattered about the area - check link if you're interested. www.greatlakeschambermusic.org ...and feel free to let us know about anything that looks like fun.

*bump* any further news on Lab's status?

^ go you! currently making my day: my niece is graduating right now!!! #@!

Don't know if any of you have seen some of the setlists, but NIN's mixing it up big time. Lots of different album tracks that haven't been done in years are coming back. "Heresy", for fuck's sake! "Dead Souls", too. Personally, I'd love to hear just one of the following: We're in this together something I can never have happiness in slavery

these would be much more practical for (some of) you ladies to wear:

new pic!

god, I hope I'm gone way before that happens, lol! having said that, way to go, Msterbeau!

punks. #@!

clearly not living the high life #@!

I have musician buds playing at the lager House tonight; if I go to that, I'll stop by this afterwards.

scrounge up some din-din
