Reccomended reading
If you live in San Francisco or have visited more than Fisherman's Wharf, then you should read this book. Much of it takes place in the Mission District, including many scenes right across the street from my house.

Man testifies his wife, stepdaughter tried to kill him
"Prosecutors contend the mother-daughter duo conspired to kill Larry Childs in an attempt to collect on a $1.4-million life insurance policy. They planned to use the money for Jennifer Childs' career as a pop singer, pay off debts and possibly open a Jiffy Lube franchise, authorities said."
But here's my favorite part:
"I couldn't believe what was happening to me. I didn't know what to do."
Your bed's on fire, you're being hit with a stick. I'd start by getting off the bed, Larry.

HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR!!
Thanks to Spinner.com:goth, and also
(yes Hot Topic the mall- based genx store), I've learned about alot of goofy goth groups. Here's some data about a new favorite.
1989 marks the founding of that deepest of dark bands, Sopor Aeternus (Eternal Sleep, or Sleep of Death). It began when the two musicians known as
Varney and Holger met in a Frankfurt, Germany goth club. With no money to buy instruments, they had to compose their music completely in their heads.
Nevertheless, they released a triad of lyrically intense yet technically flawed demo cassettes (Es Reiten Die Toten so Schnell, Rufus, and 'Till Time and
Times Are Done) in 1992. After that, Holger left the band and the newly formed label Apocalyptic Visions developed an interest in Varney's music. In 1994, a
debut CD with the extensive title Ich Tote Mich Jedesmal Aufs Neue, Doch Bin Ich Unsterblich Und Erstehe Wieder Auf In Einer Vision des Untergangs, or Ich
Tote Mich... for short, was released as a limited edition. Songs like "Tanz der Grausamkeit" and "Do You Know My Name" were quickly discovered and
became underground cult hits, taking the album into two re-releases.
Continuing as the sole human performer in Sopor Aeternus, Varney also credits the Ensemble of Shadows for her inspirations. These are spirits, beings who
she says she receives the musical compositions from. She also works through depression with the aid of her music, as can be heard on the demos, produced
at a time when she was gravely ill and at risk of losing her eyesight. She describes her subsequent works as "introverted exhibitionism." They are also
expressions of extreme, intense pain.
Varney's second album, Todeswunsch Sous le Soleil de Saturne ("Deathwish Under the Sun of Saturn") a 1995 release, was a curious combination. While
musically it seems perhaps a bit gentler and less depressive, its lyrics were so painfully evocative that she said she found herself weeping while recording
some of the songs. The theme? "Suicide, sweet suicide."
The Ensemble of Shadows dissuaded Varney from committing suicide, and in 1997, as she dealt with issues of her transexuality, she expanded her name to
Anna-Varney. She has expressed in interviews the feeling that her album Inexperienced Spiral Traveller, from 1997, is her "worst" release, despite its
sales success. Voyager the Jugglers of Jusa followed in 1998. The song "Feralia Genitalia Arrival of the Jugglers" shows a gender operation theme. Yet
perhaps the most unusual song is a cover version of Kraftwerk's "Das Modell" which she translates into Latin and plays on a baroque harpsichord.
1999 brought the release of Dead Lover's Sarabande (Face One). It is steeped in the pain of inevitable loss and death. Dedicated "to 1334," it commemorates
the suicide of former Christian Death member Rozz Williams on April 1, 1998. Anna-Varney and he had developed a friendship through letter writing and had
thought about a collaboration, which sadly, was never to be. As is characteristic of her deliberately mysterious approach, she steadfastly declines
to explain the lyrics of this slow, grieving, dark production. Then, in March 2000, came the companion volume, Dead Lover's Sarabande (Face Two), with
more of Anna-Varney's catacomb deep, stygian intensity.

Blog Security
So I spent part of the weekend trying to figure out if there is a way to have an "authors-only" category, which would allow us to post stuff on the same blog without the general public being able to see it. I think it should be possible, and I have a feeling the answer is staring me in the face, but I haven't found it yet.
Our other option is to put a username and password on the entire site. You can see how that would work on my test blog. Username: Darby, password: Crash (case-sensitive).
It never occurred to me that you guys might not want your names plastered all over the internet. I've been working to get us listed on search engines (okay, not really hard, but some), not trying to obscure us. I just never thought about it. It's second nature to me at this point to try to draw attention to any web site that I set up.
When I finally get time to think about setting up some of the stuff we talked about back in December, I do want that to be public. I want that to get a lot of attention. Just so everybody knows.
Now, Mike's funnies below notwithstanding, there are documented cases of people losing their jobs over things they've posted on personal blogs, and I certainly don't want that to happen here. Nor do I want any of you to feel like you can't be as free as you want to post whatever you want. So if the password protection for the site as a whole would make anyone more comfortable, I can have it set up in a matter of minutes.
Please comment.

Jon loves me...
Got this WFM e.mail yesterday. Enjoy.
mailhost.wholefoods.com id g6H2xGx15756
Sender: owner-all@wholefoods.com
Precedence: bulk
Reply-To: John Mackey
Hi Team Members,
Most of you have heard by now that the Team Members in our store in
Madison, Wisconsin voted last Friday in favor of local union
representation. For me, this is a very sad chapter in the history of
Whole Foods Market. In the 24 years since I first started this
business, this is the first vote to allow union representation in any of
our stores. I firmly believe that this outcome was not a rejection of
the Whole Foods Market culture, but rather the direct result of the
failure of the previous store and regional leadership to walk our
talk--failure to follow the values of the Whole Foods culture as set
forth in the GIG. With a little more time, our Madison Team Members
would have come to trust the new regional and store leadership’s
commitment to our core values and this outcome could have been avoided.
I went to Madison last week to talk to the Team Members before the
election and also participated in a question & answer session at an
all-store meeting on Wednesday night. I felt like I had a good heart
connection with many Team Members there, but it was simply too little
too late. Too many people there have lost faith in our company and we
were not able to regain their trust in so little time.
Do not worry. Madison is a wakeup call for me and the rest of the Whole
Foods' leadership team. We are going to become even more Whole Foods
Market in the future than we already are! I promise you that I'm just
getting started. I have renewed energy to make Whole Foods Market a
better place to work. Madison made a mistake in their choice. It may
take time for them to realize it but I believe that they eventually
will. We all make many mistakes in life. It is all part of our growth
process because that is how we learn, that is how we grow.
When confronted by great stress in life we have but only 2 choices:
1. Contract into fear
2. Expand into love
When an event such as the Madison union election occurs the temptation
to contract into fear and anger is very powerful. Love and forgiveness
are the more difficult choices to make. Whole Foods Market isn't about
fear and anger, however, so we must collectively make the more
difficult choice and choose love. This is what I choose and I urge you
to make this same choice.
Thank you so very much for all that you do.
Love,
John

Someting new has been added!
Ok this weekend I joined the 90's and downloaded my first mp3s on our new home computer. I am connecting at 56k (probably less actually) and so a typical download of 7mb took about 20 - 25 minutes; I know y'all are laughing at the old man! My coworker has suggested I get a zip driver; he downloads here at work on our t3 connection to his zip, then takes the zip disks home. I won't be getting one of those anytime soon, I wouldn't know how to use it anyway! (If anyone of yall has an extry one layin around, being a doorstop etc, please send it to me!)
So anyhoo, my initial strategy i think is to download stuff i'd likely not spend money on, a la aesthetic meat front & more balloon music, or stuff i'd never find elsewhere, like velvet underground bootlegs, live meat puppets, etc.
I mention all this to yall just to get some advice, since im so not-knowing in this area. What are some good sites to find obscuro mp3s? and can i assume that most mp3 files will be free of viruss?

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Blogs
Hey, you bunch of old ladies. We need some fresh blood in this place, youknowhatimsayinnn'?
I'd like to nominate another damn Austin-based old man. Tom, you remember Colin, right?
Colin used to live in SF, but hated it. He's originally from Wisconsin.
My favorite Colin moment came when he walked into a snooty SF cheese shop in Noe Valley and asked them about cheeses from Wisconsin. They got all snooty about it. He was genuinely irritated cause he wanted some damn Wisconsin chedder and they didn't have it. It was a good moment of non-ironic irritation.
He also sings some of that austin folk music stuff. But we can forgive that seeing as we forgive Phil for all his goth crap and Tom for his DeLillo hard-on.
He has a dog named Atticus and a wife named Shelly. The dog's good pettin'.

submitted for your consideration
los lobos are still boss.
believe the hype. or at least, i think you should. haven't had this kind of fun since like 1984. great record.
tribute records ... ok. usually they suck. i really liked a couple of songs on the kurt weil tribute, but that was a much cooler concept than these popstars tributes to popstars... especially LIVE popstars. but this one, overall, is brill. how could it be else, though. all the songs are r. davies songs.
i nominate r. davies for smartest pop musician. oh screw it. i withdraw the nomination. he IS smartest popstar whether i nominate him or you think so or not or anything else anyway.
a couple of the tracks just sound like faithful covers, a couple diminish the original, but overall it is a good effort anyway. been listening to it a lot. love it. makes me wish i had the whole kinks catalog on cd already, tho.
and of course tom waits two new records. naturally. and i agree with mike that TMBG's 'No' is really swell.

Holy Shit
THROBBING GRISTLE 24-CD BOXED SET
[from https://www.chrisandcosey.com]
The 23rd of December 2002 will see the release of a special edition Throbbing Gristle 24-hour CD boxed set.
This official limited edition release will be the first on the soon to be resurrected Industrial Records label and has been made entirely
possible with help, support and encouragement of Mute Records.
This major release is an updated edition of the original Throbbing Gristle boxed set of 24 live performance cassettes available from
Industrial Records in late'70's and early '80's.
The (much bootlegged) cassette release has been completely updated and will contain 24 CD versions digitally remastered from the
original Throbbing Gristle master tapes. The complete package will be presented in a custom designed box containing 24 individually
sleeved 60 minute live CDs, plus various inserts, collages, booklets and TG related items.
The Throbbing Gristle 24-hour CD boxed set is being compiled and produced with the complete co-operation of all the members of
Throbbing Gristle and is the first new official release by TG and Industrial Records in many years.
A new dedicated Industrial Records web site is currently in production, where will it be possible to order the TG 24-hour CD boxed
set and other TG related items on-line. As soon as further details are available they will be posted here.
Also due for release in 2003 will be the first official Industrial Records Throbbing Gristle DVD.

I got this a few days ago. After a few listens I've decided I like it. Adding Jim O'Rourke to the band was a damn good idea. He adds some new energy and some of those funky Gastr Del Sol beats. It sounds more like the EPs they've been putting out with the gay french names than the mediocre major-label stuff of late. Lee Ranaldo looks 100 years old on the pictures inside.

Whirl-Mart
"Whirl-Mart is an anti-shopping ritual in which a local troupe gathers and silently pushes empty shopping carts through the aisles of a local superstore...it combines the best aspects of activism, performance and meditation in one graceful statement."
There's a good article on these guys in the new Austin Chronicle.
Understandably their protest/meditation confuses a lot of shoppers, and store managers feel threatened.
I think it's beautiful. Doing a walking meditation in a zen center is nice, but doing it with a shopping cart in a Wall-Mart is brilliant.

Welcome to the new blog
Well, not so much new as upgraded.
I converted the whole thing from Grey Matter to a different, more flexible system called Movable Type. I haven't made very many changes at this point, but there are a whole lot of things that we'll be able to do with the new system that we couldn't do with the old.
The Outward Changes (How the Site Looks)
Not many, really. Please do note the "Recent Comments" in the sidebar of the home page, though.
The search function is gone for the moment. Unfortunately, Movable Type doesn't come with a built-in search engine (boring techincal reasons, but I'll be happy to explain if anyone is curious). I'm looking into a couple of options, but it'll be a couple of weeks before I have anything ready to go.
The Inner Changes (How the Site Works)
Logging In
The biggest change you'll notice is that you have to log in differently now. The old link (/cgi-bin/gm/gm.cgi) will no long work. The new log in page is at /mt/mt.cgi. There is also a log in link down at the bottom of every page, under the Movable Type logo.
All your usernames and passwords are the same as they were in the old system. You also have the option of telling the site to remember you on each computer you use. Just check the "Remember Me" box on the log in page.
You'll see a window that that has one box called "Geriatric Punks" and some buttons to the right of that.
Your User Profile
The first thing you might want to do is edit your profile. You now have the ability to change your own password and set a reminder clue for yourself if you ever forget it. If you ever do forget your password, there's a reminder link on the log in page. Click that and the system will send you a message asking you what your reminder clue is, and when you respond correctly, it will send you your password.
Bookmarklets
After that, you can set up a bookmarklet so you don't have to log in to post something to the site. Using the bookmarklet gives you a smaller, simpler version of the new entry form, but posts it directly to the blog. There are instructions on that page, so I'm not going to repeat them here. If you have any problems with it, email me, and we'll get it worked out.
The New Entry Form
When that's all set up, you can use the "New Entry" link in the "Geriatric Punks" box to look at the new entry form. There are many more options on the form, but I'm not going to explain all of them tonight, because we're not using most of them.
The differences that you should be aware of are:
- Categories
We can now categorize posts. I did not create any categories, because I'm not sure if we need to do that on this blog. So even though there's a pulldown list called "Primary Category", it won't have any options in it. So you can ignore it, unless folks think we should have categories. I'm certainly open to it, it just seems unnecessary for this particular blog. I only mention it so there's no confusion about that pulldown list. (When I get to working on the reviews thing that we talked about in December, we'll use the categories on that for sure.) - Publish/Draft Status
We can now create posts and save them to publish later. So if you have an idea for a post, but don't have all the info yet, you can enter what you do have and save it with a status of "Draft". You'll be the only person able to see it in the editing screen, and it won't show up on the site until you change the status to "Publish". Note: There is also an "Authored on" field. That is set when the post is created, and does not update when you make changes to the post. So if you've been working on a post for a couple of days, and you're ready to post it, remember to change that date to the current day so it shows up at the top of the blog. - Delete
You can now completely delete posts. All you have to do is log in, go to "Edit Entries" and you'll see a list of your posts. On the right hand side of the list, next to each post, there will be a check box. Check the post(s) that you want to delete and click the "Delete" button. Poof! It's gone. Note: This cannot be undone. - Uploading files
There are more options when you upload files now.- The first option is a path option. Leave it set on "Local Archive Path" and don't put anything in the text box next to that.
- The next option is to create a new entry or just see the HTML so you can add the file you just uploaded to an entry you're already working on. Usually you'll want to use the first
option.
- Third, you have the option of creating a thumbnail of the image. This is a very good thing. I highly recommend this if your image is over 200 pixels wide. You can set your width or your
height, and if you have the "Constrain proportions" box checked, it will set the other dimension for you.
- The last option is to embed the image or create a popup window. If you choose "Embedded Image", and you created a thumbnail, the thumbnail will be displayed on the entry and will be a
link that will open the full-size image in the same window. If you choose "Popup Image" and created a thumbnail, the thumbnail will be a link that will open the image in a new window. If you
choose "Popup Image" and did not create a thumbnail, your entry will have a text link that will open the full size image in a new window.
