I don't go to this distributor too often, but I was in the area, and they usually have a decent variety. There were two older ... http://www.jiglet.net/367/falcon-punch/ From time to time I make mix CDs for my friends. More often than not, they like them - Not to "toot my own horn" here, but I think I'm pretty good at it, as far as determining songs/artists that a person might like based on what they currently listen ... http://www.jiglet.net/366/does-my-ass-look-fat-in-this-casket/ I'd venture to say that I became aware of The Disco Biscuits probably 2-3 years ago, but they never really piqued my interest. I had some friends that liked them, but they just didn't "do it" for me. Up until about a year ago, the fact that they are considered ... http://www.jiglet.net/365/where-illicit-drugs-and-cardio-collide/ Charles Manson is making good use of his life sentence - He just released an album under Creative Commons. The 16-track album is titled "One Mind", and you can download it here. I just downloaded it, and the quality leaves something to be desired... But then again, it was recorded ... http://www.jiglet.net/364/look-at-your-game-girl/ At the end of my last Ghana post, Cortney and I had just arrived in Togo. I had a feeling that the place we'd be staying would be nice. It pretty much had to be nicer than what we had grown accustomed to over two odd weeks. But I wasn't ... http://www.jiglet.net/363/ghana-part-six/ So I got back from Langerado (a music festival in Florida) on Monday night around 9 pm. I had a pretty awesome time there. The festival started on Thursday (March 6th) at 6pm, so I figured that a flight scheduled to arrive at 2pm in Fort Lauderdale (an hour from ... http://www.jiglet.net/362/langerado-2008-recap/ Some of you may already be aware of this, but Trent Reznor has released a new Nine Inch Nails album titled "Ghosts", and he's using the internet to distribute it. This is still a relatively new way of releasing music, and bands like Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead are at ... http://www.jiglet.net/357/nine-inch-nails-ghosts-i-iv/ I am such a baby when it comes to eyes - When I see people touching their eyes, it grosses me out a lot. That being said, the world's first eyeball tattoo is quite possible the most horrifying thing I've ever seen... Ever. This, on the other hand, is just ... http://www.jiglet.net/356/ebb-and-flow/ Any of you who would potentially be interested in going to Bonnaroo have probably already seen this year's lineup, since it was released on February 6th. I'm not particularly crazy about the headliners, and I don't think Metallica is a good fit for the festival at all. I can't say ... http://www.jiglet.net/355/sprankton-a-noun/ When we last left our possibly malaria-ridden hero, he was in Ghana, in a hospital, of all places. As I mentioned in the last post, I really hate needles, and even in the US, I'm a total baby about getting shots and stuff. Anyway, they called me into "the lab", ... http://www.jiglet.net/354/ghana-part-five/
