Attention David McCreath, Master of the Weblog
Here's an idear, what do you (and everyone else) say about it? :
Let's say I have another comment for a post that has gone past its front page date, like in a few weeks from now i wanna add another ferrett-sympathy card, say something insightful about aesthetic meat front, or I have some new hilarious comment to make about Dave L's illfated trip to Alaskirt. But those pages are no longer showing, and a] i would have to do a keyword search, and b] no-one else would know that the pearl of wisdumb had been added.
My idea is- not knowing what is possible and what isn't- what if the front page had a link/button/popup that said something like THIS OLD PAGE HAS A NEW ENTRY, or A GENIUS HAS RE-VISITED THIS OLD TOPIC, or some such thing. Is such a thing possile?
Is such a thing even desirable, or do you all think that once a post has left the front page, it's old dead boring ancient history?

Hey Dave McFrozens
We (Meghan and I) are thinking of taking a vacation to Alaska some time next year. Ideally, we would like to avoid airplane travel as much as possible, and we love trains. Do you have any advice on good (cheap) travel packages? I think it would be fun to Amtrak to Seattle, spend some time there, and then train to Alaska. Should we take one of them Canadian trains, or do you Alaskans have a way of getting from the greater 48 to your frozen heaven? Maybe you could drive down to SF and pick us up? Do you have a sleeper room in your car?

One Nation Underdog
Phil and I were discussing the virtues of Underdog just now,
and both agree that Underdog was the one of the coolest cartoons ever. Two other issues sprung up from this most intelligent diatribe: One, Underdog cartoons (if you can find them) no longer have him pop a pill from his ring to become Underdog. Anyone else ever notice that? Two: When will King post the Buttholes' "Underdog" video on BHS.com?

so,
has anyone seen Minority Report? Any reviews? Does it live up to the Philip K Dick it purports to be based on? Or is it typical Spielburg/tomcruise schmaltz?
will my daddy like it?

A Decent Band
I can't find any mp3's or web links about them, but if Blues Condition happen to pass through your town, GO SEE THEM.
They were the second band right after us; appearing like three lost hipster kids... Until they plugged in. Loud as hell, amazing drummer and guitar/vocalist, a cross between Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and the good parts of Jimi Hendrix. And personally, I am always in awe of any drummer that can smoke while playing, especially during songs that fast and that long. Damn this stupid internet for not having any mp3s! Damn it to hell!!!
Anyway, keep your eyes peeled, them is a damn fine 3 piece package of punkesque noise.

record of the latter half of this week
Khia: Thug Misses
Her catchy single "My Neck, My Back" is gettign some airplay, as is the video, but what you may not know is
the album version of this is filthy! Nasty! Raunchy!
"ladies pop your pussy like this!... My neck, my back, my pussy AND my crack! Niggas lick this pussy like this" etc
a friend lent us this cd (actually may have given it to us, not sure) because it was so raunch it caused said friend to clutch the pearls! Meanwhile Lorna and I have been playing it, singing/humming it mindlessly; very funny!
anyway go here for a link to the video for the "clean" version

anyway, the site he discusses, https://www.base58.com/booms/ , is a great file pile type site with a bunch of remixes, collages, cutups, mashes, whatevers, of songs on top of other songs.

Record of My Week!
Sleep was an early band of the High of Fire guitarist. They made 3 records, the last one, Jerusalem, released only after they had disbanned.
Jerusalem consists of one track, at 52 minutes, a primal, repetative stoner riff that very nearly burns marijuana smoke out of your cd player as it plays; thunderous, neolithic, awesome.
My pal John found it used, we drove around listening to it last night, laughing at the magnitude of it, looking at suburbs while hearing this apocalyptic bong-rock.
the whole story of the band and this controversal recording is here:

Henry's got a new favorite CD. It's They Might Be Giants for kids. Yes, that's redundant. But it comes with interactive flash animations to go with each song that he really enjoyed. There are samples on the kid's site.

sure Poe is rolling around in his grave at the notion of the merchandise created inhis likeness, but I'm a sucker for it!
Specifically, I love the pewter keychain ($4.95)which quotes Edgar: "I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity" and the "Soft sculpture cloth doll represents a mustached,elegantly dressed Poe with a Raven perched on his shoulder, a black cat at his feet and a quill pen, his favored writing implement, in his hand." ($15)
also, check out the many death-myths surrounding the poor fellow! https://www.poemuseum.org/poes_life/death_myths.html I knew the rabies theory had kicked up some dust a few years ago, but never knew about all these others.
in closing, if yall ever see the dbl cd Closed on Account of Rabies, grab it! It's worth the cost for three things: Christopher Walken reading the Raven, Iggy Pop doing The Telltale Heart, and Diamanda Galas reading The Black Cat. Fantastic!

a few random thoughts from a scrambled brayne
me n canadian went to see local thunder-rockers Dixie Witch and touring onslaught High on Fire last night. DW were great, the middle band Mastadon were real lame, and HoF were fucking brutal (that's meant in a good way)!
High on Fire set fuc*ed with my brain cells, i literally had to walk around and get some fresh deep-ellum air to regain consciousness! I had lost all sense of time, plus i think the bass maked my heart beat skreww all up. Again, that's meant in a good way.
https://www.dixiewitch.net/ https://www.highonfire.com/cd.html
In closing, here is a link for a band ATHIEST MEAT FRONT, one of these extreme-goth, Crowley-influenced ritual-slash-live-body-modification bands. Their schtick is that they throw meat, bones, carcasses, blood, and other viscera around during their show, burn and fry these carcaii, consume it all, and plus they have topless chicks covered in blood. Tell your friends. Though I'll admit they do raise the level of what is acceptable and/or shocking during a live performance- and for that i begrudgingly give them credit- i cain't say as im all that interested in seeing any of that live. Am I wrong to think thhat I don't need to hang by meathooks and smear guts over my face to know that I'm alive? Anyway, apparently their cd also consists of the sounds of animal carcasses being torn, fried, burned, bleeded, etc. I can deal with the record; in fact that's JUST the kind of thing i'd enjoy playing up here at smu while frat boys are running around whining about their Go$d-given right to drink beer.

H & C
re: Hunters and Collectors:
my interest in Hunters and Collectors is really confined to this, their first lp. It's really a pretty good record; surrealistic lyrical collage over some thinky art-funk rhythms and a slow-burn climax. I also have their 3rd record Jaws of Life which is ok but definately the beginning of their "savious of pub-rock" sensibility, which i have little interest in. Their second record, The Fireman's Curse, is variously described as "anarchic" & "chaotic", but this fansite doesn't provide the mp3s it claims to offer. (https://www.humanfrailty.com)
I saw H&C in Dallas in about 1985? and they did nothing from the weird period, in fact i barely remember any musical moment at all. Oh well, at least they became huge in Australia. It does seem that with collection cds that i can probably find in the cheapie bins i can reconstruct the whole first record, and possibly earlier eps, if they're any good.
Here ends the worthless, monday morning pre-caffinated musings about a forgotten pop group. Does anyone have anything to offer regarding Hunters and Collectors? If not, I bid you all adieau!

Funny Email Every Day
I get an email message every day from the San Francisco Gate. One of their authors (Mark Morford) gives little synopses of stories that are published on the site, and invariably one of them makes me laugh out loud.
Here's a sample:
Bush Giggles, Squeals, Plays With Yo-Yo
An Air Force colonel has been suspended for writing a letter in which he called President Bush "a joke" and accused him of allowing the Sept. 11 attacks to happen because "his presidency was going nowhere." The letter from Lt. Col. Steve Butler was published May 26 in The (Monterey County) Herald. "He did nothing to warn the American people because he needed this war on terrorism," Butler wrote. "His daddy had Saddam and he needed Osama. His presidency was going nowhere. ... This guy is a joke." Butler has been suspended due to his deadly accuracy and his absolute correctness in the matter, but his superiors were apparently slightly disappointed that he failed to point out that Bush is merely a bumbling little puppet in Overlord Cheney's little war-drunk drama and while he is certainly a virulent danger to the progress of the human soul, Cheney is the true Dark Lord who actually sees all and controls all and strokes the hairless cat sitting in his lap very slowly and creepily while sucking pure ether from a tank and making a completely castrated Powell crawl around on all fours and bark like a dog.

I know I post info from Harpers.org too often, but...
this little gem cannot go ignored. I will just quote the important stuff without bothering to post the link this time.
enjoy:
President Bush met with President Fernando Henrique Cardoso of Brazil and somehow thought to ask him: "Do you have blacks, too?" Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser, interrupted the conversation and explained: "Mr. President, Brazil probably has more blacks than the USA. Some say it's the country with the most blacks outside Africa." Cardoso was later heard to say that Bush was still in a "learning phase."
