sitting here minding my own business and I read Saturn’s bookmarks which leads me to some site with the improbable name “westernhomes” who I notice does a lot of record reviews. And so I’m wondering what a kid who’s probably 10 years younger than I am could possibly understand about the magic that the ‘Mats represented to someone living in the midst of hair-band early 80s hell. Well, it turns out quite a lot. A whole lot, in fact. And he has a damn good turn of a phrase as well, as this quote from a review of a shitty Cracker CD (Garage D’Or) demonstrates: “Eurotrash Girl,” with its thieved Van Morrison bassline and weird nightmare travelogue narrative, became the biggest eight-minute radio single since, like, “Stairway.”

Yet another redesign:
Katy has given kitschbitch a stunning makeover.I’m not usually partial to dark black sites like that, but she manages to pull it off well!
They’re at it again:
It seems that pirates have ripped off a couple more domains. As I wrote on the weekend I bet Network Solutions is part of the problem (if not the problem), not part of the solution.
If there’s any doubt that this is malicious tampering, and not some faux-principled battle for the soul of the net – last week’s victims, web.net are not a soulless corporation but a highly principled non-profit resource center for other non-profits and charities.

Offspring and Napster
Offspring and Napster fall in love – again. This time it’s a two-way street. As any good relationship should be.
There have been a rash of
new designs lately on weblogs I read. The absolute latest is Swallowing Tacks. It’s a very hep look now. Very tiki lounge, very late 50s but not in that rocknroll way, in the “mass media trying to be hip like those pesky beats” way. Which is a compliment, BTW.
