The Pernice Brothers are putting the new album, Yours, Mine, Ours up for pre-sale off their website here. As incentive, they’re offering a special autographed lyrics booklet with each order. The catch? Only available to Americans. Blah blah blah.
This is interesting – last week’s entry about information overload from the Iraq War has been added to Stop Watching The War, a blog about critical analysis of the media coverage on the war. That’s my entry right above an article from newly-unemployed former NBC correspondent Peter Arnett about his getting turfed for speaking his mind on the state of the US war effort. Apparently even when I comment on not wanting to comment on the war, I’m commenting on the war.

There is a new dispatch from Luna-land over on Fuzzy Wuzzy. Dean offers some thoughts on the war, talks about upcoming touring plans and offers hope for a new Luna album to be recorded this year. He’s also posted a new ‘What Dean Is Listening To’ elsewhere on the site. None of this constitutes news, really. I just wanted an excuse to use “U.S. Out Of My Pants” as an entry title.
You want an interesting POV into the opinions of folks on the war in Iraq? Go surf around Usenet – nothing like an unmoderated, anonymous international forum to bring out the best in people. People apparently believe that only Sadaam is causing Iraqi civilian casualties, that Iraq paid the hijackers who attacked the World Trade Centre, that any Iraqis who would dare be ungrateful to their invaders – excuse me – liberators – probably deserve to die anyway. Gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling in my chest… oh wait, that’s bile.
Dig this – a random ICQ chat has resulted in Lake Holiday’s “Awake Too Long” (available in the MP3 section) being played on 2NUR Newcastle University Radio, 103.7 FM, in Newcastle, Australia last night. How cool is that? We got squeezed into an eclectic setlist, rubbing elbows with Cake, The Posies, Zwan and, um, The Vines.

You’re not going to top this April Fool’s gag. I wake up, and there’s a lovely blanket of white on top of everything outside. March came in like a lion, and went out like a lamb. A big, white, fluffly lamb made of snow that apparently exploded all over the city.

You might think that a day spent running around as much as today was would yield some remotely interesting news to post. And yet. So here are some random bits of my day:
Vic bought me lunch today to celebrate his first paycheque on his new contract.
I have signed up for something called Blogshares. I have no idea how this works, but for some reason they already had my site on record and worth a whopping $26.14. Again, no idea what this means at all.
I am indeed sore from hockey yesterday, and I am willing to bet tomorrow will be worse. I am reconsidering my “it’s a good kind of hurt” declaration.
I would like to say that we’re making a concerted effort at band practices to identify the weak spots in our performances and tightening up the whole kit and kaboodle into a finely tuned rock machine. I would like to.
Pete has invited me to the Neil Young / Lucinda Williams show in June. I am leaning towards yes – $50 tickets (probably closer to $65 after Ticketbastard) isn’t horrible.
517 wants to cover the song from this week’s Strong Bad email. I have to say, I can’t argue – it’s a really strong tune. I bet I will be relegated to handclaps.
We are having a bitch of a time getting the www.lakeholiday.net URL pointed at my webspace. The DNS seems to have propogated for *some* ISPs, but not all. For example – at home, I can view it fine and pings go to the same server as chromewaves (which is where it’s supposed to) but at work? File not found, domain not found, etc etc. My webhosting also does not see the name as pointed at them, nor do any WHOIS queries. This is fucked up.
How can it be April already?

It’s snowing. Why the hell is it snowing? I did not consent to this.
Someone will pay.
