Exotic Guitars - Skeletar

A little old (9/2004) but none the less startling news for fans!

Early 1990's Hip-Hop collective Digable Planets have announced
that they have reunited and are working on a new album.

Digable Planets Reunite

] Let's have a war,
] Jack up the Dow Jones,
] Let's have a war,
] It can start in New Jersey...

So, I heard A Perfect Circle's rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine" on the way back home from Nashville. The dark, cynical irony of it fit my post election apathy like a glove. The first two videos here are from the album, which also contains a number of other entertaining covers such as the one referenced above.

For the clue deficient the lead singer is the guy from tool.

I heard "What planet what station" in a bar tonight. I like it. I want more stuff like this. Its a shame its only on 12"

] Here are two new tracks from the forthcoming full length
] Negativland CD/book project, "NO BUSINESS."
]
] The "NO BUSINESS" project will come in a fancy shmancy
] die-cut sleeve package with a 14,000 word essay, a
] computer playable video, and 37 minutes of audio that are
] all about, and examples of, Negativland's current take on
] issues of file-sharing, downloading, appropriation, and
] the supposed collapse of the music business, circa 2004.

Unfortunately these tracks seem to take heavily from the CD that came with "The Letter U and the Numeral 2." Now, I think thats their best CD, but I'd like to hear more new material.

] The Department of Homeland Security ordered a United
] Airlines jet flying from London to Washington rerouted to
] Bangor, Me., on Tuesday afternoon so it could intercept a
] passenger, Yusuf Islam, the musician formerly known as
] Cat Stevens, two government officials said.
]
] Mr. Islam was "denied entry into the United States," said
] an official, and was in the custody of Immigrations and
] Customs Enforcement. The plan on Tuesday evening was to
] deport Mr. Islam, who is a British subject, the officials
] said.

The peace train Stevens was riding on was forced to land in Maine. Officials made a statement saying we should just remember there's a lot of bad and beware, beware, oh baby baby it's a wild world. Cat Stevens can no longer get by on just a smile, because he gave money to the wrong people.

I always wanted to hear this.

A creepy custom music video. Radiohead does office space.

The main page from this link features a series of disturbing office suicide cartoons. The Apple one is probably the best.

If the appearance of dilbert cartoons on cubicles is the first sign that your company's culture is dead, the appearance of stills from this site ought to be the last sign before your company reaches cataclysm.
