Ordered Futurama Season 3 from Amazon UK today. Why wait 3 months (R4 release date is September, R2 is June) to pay $5 more for it ($80 in JB-HiFi, $75 including postage from Amazon UK)?

I don't think I'll ever get over this Metallica thing. This is nothing on Fuel. This is the difference between Fight Club and a picture-phone video of my a**. I have to get this thing so I can review it now. It's a pity too because the idea of including a live DVD with the new CD that includes live versions of every song on there would have made me wet my pants when I was a teenage kid.

Hey I should look up some reviews on the song...

Jn says in alt.rock-n-roll.metal.metallica:

I don't think that any of the new Metallica material we've heard is actually on the album.. I think it's all "dummy" material that they've leaked [including St. Anger and the video] to throw everyone off of their scent, so they won't download the album before it comes out.. then on the release date, they're going to release the REAL St. Anger album and admit that everything else we've heard was just bullshit demo tracks that they put out there in order to satisfy the masses until the real thing came out.. How else can you explain the INCREDIBLE reviews of the album coupled with the absolute SHIT that's been leaked to the public so far? Please tell me this is true... god i hope so.. otherwise this will be the biggest letdown since "The Spaghetti Incident"

I think that about covers it.

Oh my God. The album version of St. Anger (the song) is 7 and a half minutes long?! ARGH!

And apparently the album has almost no guitar solos... ok...


I got about 10 hits on people searching for "Silverback Gorilla photos" today. It seems I'm number four on Google. Photo of a Silverback Gorilla. Maybe now I'll be higher.

Other hits I get every day include "Phantom Records", "Black Yak Records", "pave paradise Counting Crows", "[insert band here] MP3" and recently have been getting "Matrix Reloaded camcorder recording".

I've mentioned these things, but I am not these things. Except maybe a silverback gorilla.

I really want to get back to the Melbourne Zoo and see the new elephant thingy...

More talk of the RIAA sending virus' into my computer to delete my MP3s [TheRegister]. If they delete the MP3s of my bands demos, thousands of hours of work, blood, and tears I'll f***ing kill them.

Although... I've been hearing the RIAA talk about this stuff for years and I've yet to hear anyone who's actually had this happen.
