Subject URL: New Vince Dicola CD

Looks like Vince is having another bash at the Transformers movie soundtrack, this time rearranging some of the tracks for piano. Unfortunately Vince's stuff is hard to get a hold of on any normal online CD store. You have purchase everything through Botcon which relies entirely on snail mail for ordering... Dang it.

Subject URL: Napster going legit

As if anyone cares anyway. How's the Morpheus usage going kidies? Tracking down original versions of cover songs is fun. If only there was one place I could go to get them in ultra high quality for a bit of $. There isn't? You mean this sharing crap has been going on for over a year and still there is nothing? Bah. They'd never release a CD of original versions of the recent Tori Amos covers CD would they? But how easy would it be to stick'em on the net for 50c each? Peace of piss. Come on MusicNet / Duet / Napster / whatever. What the hell is taking so long.

Subject URL: Observatory Cottages

I cannot recommend this retreat in the Dandenongs any stronger. It was absolute luxury and worth every cent. Just down the road from ye olde Sky High Observatory (Melbourne's answer to lover's lookout) hidden within the trees. If you need to wind down, save up the cash (it ain't cheap) and make a booking. And the Dandy's themselves are excellent this time of year. Views and nature abound.

To the lovely people that scratched the bonnet and boot of my car on Wednesday with three lovely to-the-metal strokes on the front and one artful gash on the back I thank thee. Thank you for not breaking my windows as you did to the car across from me. Thank you for not stealing anything from my car. And thank you for choosing petty crime over the hardcore stuff. We need more criminals like you in the world.
