Another indie band "sticking it to the man!"
I'm talking about Common Rotation. I only found out about these guys because one of the band members, Adam Busch, is an actor who had a recurring role on Buffy. The band is making an effort to completely sidestep the traditional music industry and all it's trappings. They have been releasing their own recordings since 1999. On their last tour, dubbed the "Living Room Tour," they played acoustic house concerts, for donations only. Their new website features the "Union Maid," where they offer a free download, either an audio clip or a video clip of a new song, every day. They even wrote a protest song about Clear Channel!

Grrr....Arrrgh part 2
Well, I saw Spiderman 3 tonight. Then, in order to blot out the memory of what may well be the worst superhero movie ever made, and to remind myself that Sam Raimi has made some movies that I like, I stayed up an extra couple of hours and watched Army of Darkness.
Getting back to Spiderman 3, though: The last time I walked out of a sequel of a movie I loved shaking my head in stunned disbelief was Escape From L.A. I think my disbelief and disappointment was even greater this time! 'Nuff Said!!

Grrr....Arrrgh!
My so-called life (actually, my job, if you want to get technical about it) has kept me so busy that I haven't been able to update my blog lately. More importantly, it has kept me from seeing Spiderman 3 and, most importantly, buying Buffy Season 8 issue #3. Grrr....Arrrgh indeed! I hope at least some of you have been able to enjoy these simple pleasures of life...but please don't post any spoilers!
