1. Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax

    Evidently a “banned version”? 

  2. D/L’d buncha remixes from usenet. 3-5+ versions each of Rage Hard, Relax, Two Tribes, The Power of Love, Warriors of The Wasteland, Welcome To The Pleasuredome, and a smattering of others.

  3. I just received via UPS a 100-disc spindle of what was supposed to be DVD-R blanks from guitarcenter.com, and that’s what the label stuck to the plastic shrinkwrap said they were. However, my computer said different: they were CDR blanks! And looking at the write-side, yes, I could see they were blue-green and not purple, which is what DVD-Rs seem to always be. I called Guitar Center and reported the mislabled product. After a pretty short (5 minute) wait, I was told that the correct product is shipping right away, and did I need any further assistance? I asked if they wanted the CDRs back and they said no, because they wouldn’t be able to resell them. How cool, huh?

  5. i’m s’posed to be washin’ dishes right now, but i’m bein’ BAD on tumblr

    rawr! 

  6. i have this fantasy, and tumblr is the place to put it, bcuz yr mom wouldn't let me keep it at her haus

    It’s the ol’ “what a great band name” I guess, but I wanna start a band called:

    BAD FAITH & THE PROMISE BREAKERS

    Bad Faith would have to be female (or a drag queen), and you know, with an air of ill repute or something? Not sure. Bad! and HOT! And the Promise Breakers, the other 3? Not necessarily guys, but also bad/hot (and YES, I would be in it..on bass). We would play hot rockin’ songs about the usual evil that wo/men do, but with an edge. Yah.

    »but I see there’s already “Bill Geezy & The Promise Breakers” how lame

  7. note to self

    Explore the deleuzoguattarian concept of “stuttering the major language” in the becoming-minor of one’s own language, and how that relates to SMS texting, lolcatspeak, and how certain quite literate ppl I know or whose blogs I read habitually twist/stretch/squeeze/stutter their English in everyday writing and/or speaking: Rotcod Zzaj (if you can find any online copies of old Improvijazzation Nation zines…his reviews contain some pretty wakkt-owtt wordifications), Patrick Hayden (check his sidebar link-naming practices—my fave being “muh stulpzun ziti”, e.g., and often the main posting text…I love his writing when it getz willy kwazy), Cassidy Rios Kane (de a4mentioned ziti), and Orbital Disco Dave Wilson (need I say more…he’s an a-fuckin-mazing linguistic trickster and mindbanger… just relax and enjoy it). These and a few others come to mind immediately, but I think more and more people in my life are punning and recombining syntactically and semantically in ways that point up the joyful plasticity and arbitrary artfulness of language. My examples may not seem particularly apropos upon 1st glance, but I’ve been reading/listening to them for awhile, and I think they are good examples of writers/speakers stuttering their major language in order to create freedom through becoming-minor in language.

    I remember absolute intoxication from first reading Patti Smith and Jack Kerouac, both excellent examples of what im trine tasay. And I ONLY JUST NOW thought of rap, hip-hop’s minor stutterering of major language par excellence!

    In conclusion: I think lolcats have been a big stutterhammer released on the world. Watch out majoritarians, we’re LOLing after you!!

    F-f-f-fight the s-s-s-s-signifier: stutter the fucker!!

  8. I took today off

    And have been obsessing over tumblr.  I learned how to add comments with disqus, and how to put a timestamp on posts in the theme I chose (Fold).  It’s only been a day here, so I won’t be doing anything too rash, but I gotta say, this is the easiest and coolest blogging tool I’ve used.  It could become my main blogging outlet.  I can even post here from my cell phone using text messaging.  (See the last 3 incredibly erudite and insightful entries posted from the bathtub.)
