Zontubeß
Found this Zontubeß thing through Digg - it's an Amazon/YouTube mashup for watching videos and listening to music. Pretty cool.

Peeping Tom
Mike Patton, of Faith No More fame, has a new band called Peeping Tom. It's a strange mix of hip-hop, rock and well, generally weird Patton shit. I love it! They were on Conan last Friday and it's on YouTube. Although the album isn't out till tomorrow, you can listen to all of it streaming from here. Oh yeah, there's supposed to be a music video of Mojo coming out that features Danny DeVito in it. I've got to see that man, too much!
Mojo, Peeping Tom
those haunting rhymes are keeping the time
but they'll never get through to me
its my party but I'm waiting for someone to start it
at my party theres noone but me in the corner
gotta get my mojo running, engine humming don't I?
now roll it up and smoke it again
line me up and snort it again
now fix it up and shoot it again
I can't believe I did it again
keep haunting me, drawn to me
but they'll never get through to me
its my party but I'm waiting for someone to start it
at my party theres blood on the ceiling and the carpet
gotta get my mojo running, engine humming, don't I?
now roll it up and smoke it again
its bottoms up and drink it again
now fix it up and shoot it again
I can't believe I did it again
I'm reading the signs that makes me wonder
why they're getting through to me
gotta get my mojo running, engine humming, don't I?
gotta get my mojo running, engine humming, don't I?
now roll it up and smoke it again
its bottoms up and drink it again
now fix it up and shoot it again
I can't believe I did it again

NIN "Only"
David Fincher, of "Fight Club" and "Seven" fame, directed the latest Nine Inch Nails video "Only". The pin block "video" looks so cool. Not a bad song either.

Megadeth - This was my Life
Been listening to a lot of Megadeth lately, they put out a lot of catchy tunes in their day. Too bad their last album [The System has Failed] was such a POS, but I guess their last few albums weren't so great either. I love this tune from Countdown to Extinction, track 6, This was my Life [it's on my Radioblog at the bottom of this page]:
It was just another day It was just another fight It was words strung into sentences It was doomed to not be right There is something wrong with me There is something wrong with you There is nothing left of us There is one thing I can do Chorus Lying on your bed, Examining my head This is the part of me that hates Paybacks are a bitch I throw the switch Somewhere an electric chair awaits Hey! This was my life Hey! This was my fate This was the wrong thing to do This was the wrong one to be doing This was the road to destiny This was the road to my ruin Now there's motives for the suspect Now there's nothing left to say Now there's method to the madness Now there's society to pay Chorus In our life there's if In our beliefs there's lie In our business there's sin In our bodies there's die Solo - Dave This was my life This was my fate

MP3Tag
After ripping my Faith No More CD "album of the year", I noticed the ID3 tags were left empty. Found this program [MP3TAG] that accesses freedb to automatically fill in the correct info. Seems to work well, and it's free.

Default = Nickelback
After listening to two Default albums, I am convinced you could make a mix CD of Default and Nickelback, 50/50, and you would never know it had two different bands on it. Too bad these two bands only know how to play the exact same song over and over again...

P2P Legal in Canada
A Federal judge threw out an attempt by the CRIA, a Canadian version of the American RIAA, to force ISPs to disclose the identity of file sharers on their networks. This probably won't last, as the music industry will probably put huge pressure on our politicians to make it illegal, but hey, today the little guy won.

Canadian 'music industry' to imitate US file-sharing lawsuits
The Canadian version of the RIAA [CRIA] is going to copy their American cousins and launch lawsuits against their customers. It'll be interesting to see if they get the same results up here.
It is regrettable that we'll have to take this action, but we've been forced to.
Forced to??? No, you chose to do this by your own free will. Don't these guys get it? The industry has changed, it's never going back to it's pre-Napster levels. Never. Deal with it. Launching lawsuits is nothing but a temper tantrum, it ain't gonna change anything. Except alienate the few people who still buy their product.
The CRIA has reported that Canadian CD sales have fallen by $450 million, or 23 per cent, since 1999.
These lawsuits should accelerate that trend. Dumbasses.
From this column:
Some have also wondered whether suing 12-year-olds isn't likely to just backfire and create worse publicity for the industry. Mr. Robertson, however, said in an interview that targeting such users may have actually helped spread the message and added to the 'shock and awe' of the industry's campaign. "It did escalate the media coverage somewhat," the CRIA president said.
Yes, I just love handing my money over to corporations suing 12 year olds into oblivion. The streets are so much safer now.

Copyright Board freezes music-media levies
Levies on blank media won't be going up in 2004. This is good, I won't have to buy a stack of blank CD-R's before the end of the year. I'm glad to see the so-called music industry doesn't always get their way.

SOCAN SUX
This editorial in the Montreal Gazette sums up my feelings quite well regarding SOCAN's latest shenanigans, trying to use the supreme court to extort millions from ISPs and innocent internet users. Fuckers.
If somebody robs your store, and drives away in a Chevrolet, you should be able to sue General Motors. This is the absurd "logic" behind a case going to the Supreme Court today.

Korn - This Town
Catchy tune, I can't get it out of my head! Argh!
Performed by Human Waste Project with Jonathan Davis on backing vocals
This town is our town so mother fucking glam (echo out)
We all know the chosen toys, candy girls, and pretty boys
Make up that face to win the race
Life's a bitch in this town
Suck my dick in this town
This town is our town
It is so glamorous
I'll bet you'll live here if you could
And be one of us
This town is our town
So fucking glamorous
I'll bet you'll live here if you could
And be one of us
Change our mind like we said before
We are dreamers, we are whores.
Discarded scars like worn out cars.
Litter the streets of this town
Litter the streets in this town
This town is our town
So fucking glamorous
I'll bet you'll live here if you could
And be one of us
This town is our town
So mother fucking glamorous
I'll bet you'd live here if you could
And be one of us
Break it down boys
Human Waste in the house (x3)
Here we fucking go!
This town is our town
So fucking glamorous
I'll bet you'll live here if you could
And be one of us
This town is our town
So muther fucking glamorous
I'll bet you'll live here if you could
And be one of us
This town (x4)

Lamb of God Lyrics
Just because I like the song so much, here's the lyrics to Marilyn Manson's Lamb of God. Enjoy!
Lamb Of God
There was Christ in the metal shell
there was blood on the pavement
The camera will make you god
that's how Jack became sainted
If you die when there's no one watching
and your ratings drop and you're forgotten
if they kill you on their TV
you're a martyr and a lamb of god
nothing's going to change
nothing's going to change the world
There was Lennon and a happy gun
There were words on the pavement
we were looking for the lamb of god
we were looking for Mark David
If you die when there's no one watching
and your ratings drop and you're forgotten
if they kill you on their TV
you're a martyr and a lamb of god
Nothing's going to change the world
nothing's going to change
Nothing's going to change the world
nothing's going to change
the world
it took three days for him to die
the born again could buy the serial rights
lamb of god have mercy on us
lamb of god won't you grant us
Nothing's going to change the world
nothing's going to change
Nothing's going to change the world
nothing's going to change
the world
If you die when there's no one watching
and your ratings drop and you're forgotten
if they kill you on their TV
you're a martyr and a lamb of god
nothing's going to change the world

Wishing on a star
Queensryche is one of my favorite bands, I actually got to see them once at the Saddledome. It was on the Empire tour but they played the entire Operation:Mindcrime album with an intermission in the middle where they played some Empire and older stuff. It was a great show. Reading this article, it sounds like they're pretty cool in real life too.
A child in pain whispers a prayer. It is scooped up by her guardian angel, who draws it to her lips and blows it to the wind. It pierces the hearts of a dozen strangers, who move mountains to ease her suffering, if only for a moment.

Suck It Down, RIAA
We just don't care. Study: U.S. swappers shrug off copyrights.

Angel City
I was trying to remember the name of a band I used to listen to like a million years ago. I would probably have been driven completely insane trying to remember anything about them, other than the fact that they were very good and Australian, but for this neato Internet thingy. Now I dismember that they were called The Angels [well, Angel City in North America] and they had a cool song called Face the Day from the album Face to Face. Yippee! Now I just have to track down a copy...

Is this a joke?
Metallica are taking legal action against independant Canadian rock band Unfaith over what they feel is unsanctioned usage of two chords the band has been using since 1982 : E and F.
Are these guys serious? WTF? First their hystrionics over the Napster affair and now this. I think we should gather up all their CDs at a stadium and blow them up like at the end of disco. This is pathetic. I will never buy another Metallica disc for as long as I live. And they can take their precious E and F chords and shove them up their asses.
Update: ok, it is a prank, apparently. I still hate Metallicaca.

Rob Halford reunites with Judas Prist
Judas Priest is one of my favorite bands, although their later albums kinda lost their edge. Can't wait to see what they might come up with after all these years.
