Howdy,
A friend invited me to a social networking site last week called GoodReads. It is like Last.FM but for books. So far I have gotten a few good recommendations from checking it out, but more interesting is that I get to see what my friends like to read.
So, if you are on there just comment with your user name.

Shugo TokumaruCategory: music
I used to love Japanese music. Acts like Malice Mizer, Der En Grey, Gackt, and most horrible of all, X Japan. Oh, just thinking about them makes me want to curl up into a ball of shame.
But I recently stumbled upon an act I really like, Shugo Tokumaru. His songs are layered really nicely. With lots of goodies going on beside the melody.
Take a listen
and this, I just can't get enough of this video. Katamri without the ball.

Chunky MonkeyI have been giving advice to John McCain all week. Mostly in the format of yelling at boxes of text and images on my computer screen. But last night I got to him in all of his animatronic glory on TV. And here is my two cents.
Get a suit that fits.

Today's PSAJust a reminder
Genesis used to be a great band.
It is just too bad thatPhil Collins someone other band member is a douche bag even though he is a great drummer instrumentalist of some sort.
That is all.

Damn, I didn't know you liked Genesis! You know who used to be great are The Police. I've had "Spirits in the Material World" on my playlist a BUNCH lately.

Are you saying that you have no appreciation for Invisible Touch? Hehe. I'd hate to touch off a vigorous argument between the prog rock purists and the people who liked the mainstream stuff. Common theme amongst fans of prog rock bands.
It is wild to see such an early video of the band. PG looks a baby! He hadn't fully developed as a singer yet either.
You are right about Phil Collins but it must be said that, in my opinion anyway, his solo work was awesome. Except for covers of Motown... that is like Pat Boone singing Sam Cooke tunes! In terms of commercial, poppy, radio-friendly stuff he was the king for a long time. I give him credit for being a great and soulful singer. Genesis lucked out on that front after PG left.
As I illustrated in a previous journal entry, he has paid BIG for his personal failings, to the tune of $84 million. I gave him macabre credit for being a pioneer and an innovator in the use of technology to dump your spouse (he did it via fax).

Janelle loves Phil Collins (still). You should delete this post if you want to remain her friend.

Little Britain's Big SwimHowdy,
I saw an enjoyable documentary yesterday in which David Williams of British Comedy troupe Little Britain prepares himself for nine months, while on tour, to swim the English Channel for charity.

Interesting! 5 years back, I would have jumped in and probably been devouring books, but the literary poverty in my grad life is more crippling that the economic meltdown of the 20s now. I hardly read any non-journal stuff for leisure any more. My mind is constantly in literary oblivion.
I envy you, munching zombie. I wish I could at least forage for some shreds that you are feasting on. But I can't :(
