Ides of March

Beware, indeed. Because well after I order my tee shirt from ThinkGeek, I find out Penny Arcade just put out a new batch of babydoll style tees, including one with the Fruit Fucker. Dammit. ThinkGeek's shipping rates are ridiculously exhorbitant, so I'll be waiting a while to order the Fruit Fucker. And, really, I have so many tee shirts, it's a little scary. No, not as many as mckitterick, but many for a normal person. I guess that says something.

Before my other officemate comes in this morning (there's three of us in here, usually), I'm listening to Netscape Radio. 80s Alternative that, to my relief, isn't what kids today seem to think 80s "alternative" music was (basically top 40 New Wave). Ask anyone, I would have fucking died for Duran Duran back in the day, but they weren't alternative. They got radio play. Nope, this is the Ramones, New Order, Hüsker Dü, Echo and the Bunnymen. I'm sure they got radio play in larger markets, but with the exception of Chicago and Denver, I doubt any mainstream radio station between Ohio and Nevada played that stuff. Anyway. /pointless rant

EDIT: OK, nevermind. U2 just came on. Scratch that whole preceeding paragraph.

From lorilie,

Space Mountain: A thrilling rocket ride through the
darkness of outer space! Futuristic and
forward thinking, you have just enough 2001-esk
elements without escaping Walt Disney's utopian
vision for a brighter tomorrow. You represent
speed, stealthness, and the promise of
technology, while your Dick Dale surf guitar
riff of a soundtrack makes you retro and
mysterious, without being corny. Keep the
lights low and avoid revealing too much, lest
you ruin the show, you're only going 28 mph!
Regardless of speed, you prove that in the
vacuum in space, you CAN hear people scream!


What Disneyland attraction are you?

U2

[fantomas71.livejournal.com]

I keep waiting to see U2 on a Long John Silver's commercial:

INTERIOR: LJS Restaurant, band members soulfully banging away on instruments, annoying staff and diners alike. Bono, crouching, running around like he's got to pee, waves his arms through the all-too recognizable strains of the familiar song:

And theeeeese
Are the chicken planks
You've been looking fooooor...

I can see it. Scary.

And now I want hush puppies. Dammit.

Biggest. Sellouts. Ever. To me, they're exactly equal to Aerosmith.

Sorry about the hush puppies thing. Perhaps a delicious mammoul.

Except I still like to listen to 70's era Aerosmith, occasionally. =)

Have to agree with you there. Same way I like U2 up through Joshua Tree, and Metallica up through Master of Puppets.

I like U2 up-to-and-including ZooTV, but was horrified to realize that How to Dismantle an Overlong Career is exactly the same as Achtung Baby. I sha'n't be buying anything else from them, I s'pose.

Mmmmm... tasty, tasty mammouls... *drools*

The Pirates of the Caribbean: A swashbuckling
adventure! Yo ho, a pirates life is indeed for
you, seeing as you are the classic Disney dark
ride that presents a time when New Orleans was
under attack from a band of treasure loving
bandits. You have a bit of an edge, and an
element of danger, and you can scare the
youngins, but for the most part you mean no
serious harm. You are youthful at heart,
strong and energetic, with a taste for the good
life, if not hard work. You have romantic
notions about the adventurous life on the sea
with no rules and no responsibilities except to
your ship, but you also weary and worrisome of
the fate that eventually gets all those who
those who live life on the lamb, stealing gold
for greed and burning down cities for your own
delight. You are what you are, and you're out
to enjoy the glamour of your wild days while
they last! Despite your rough surface, the
people know you have heart and they will always
come back.

You might like this station http://www.kexp.org
It's a commercial free, listener supported station in seatle. It's a good mix of old and new alternative music. While I've heard the Ramones, Bauhaus, Joy Divivion and the Cramps on there - I have yet to hear any U2! :)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Cool! I'll bookmark that. Thanks!

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Hey! I heard that.
