most memorably, the elaborate multisite game launched to promote AI. So where's the Web-based fiction that does more than fool you or stealthily convince you to buy something?
This guy obviously never actually took part in the game, or he'd know it was far, far more than a marketing ploy. It was amazing, immersive, and an ingenious method of using the Web to tell a story. Hell, it even went
beyond
the Web, integrating phone calls and e-mails as well as real-life gatherings.
Last night I bought a new copy of
They Might Be Giants'
"Flood". I hadn't listened to it in years. All I can say is I want to be able to utilize the piece of my brain that makes me capable to still know almost every single word. It's not fair. I could be using that bit of brain for good.
What's the bad in remembering all the words to "Some. One. Keeps. Mo. Ving. My-y-y Chaiiiiiiir."?
Oh no, its not bad. It's just that, for me to literally remember almost an entire album after years, that part of my brain must be very powerful. If I had control over what it knew, just imagine how much better off I'd be!
Because, there's only one thing that I know how to do well, and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you. Be what you're like. Be like yourself. And, so, I'm having a wonderful time, but I'd rather be whistling in the dark.
Perhaps your powerful brain section is remembering those lyrics for a reason. You never know how much truth and knowledge is contained within "Minimum Wage."
I'm moving on to phase 2 of making The Handsome Charlies a Dallas sensation. Bar-owner guy is going to add them- won't know the exact date for a couple of weeks, but I want tons of people to go see them. I figure if I can describe them well enough to make people interested to either come to the show or check them out on the web and then come to the show when they see how totally awesome they are. Is there any of you who are fairly good at describing what a band sounds like who would be willing to give a song or two a listen and help me out with a good description? So far I've been saying punky-poppy, but I'd like something more exciting or accurate than that.

If you have to devote your powerful brain section to remembering the lyrics to Minimum Wage, your brain needs to ramp up the juice.
No no, the powerful brain section is remembering the album lyrics on its own. I think it has its reasons.

Yeah, that one took me a while. I think what scared me most was when I knew most of "Letterbox". That one's damn wordy.
Hec, the Dresden Dolls will be playing at Café du Nord (which is where I saw Tegan and Sara!) August 20. Go.
Current listening: a bunch of Fiery Furnaces singles thanks to Soulseek. Right now, their overly chaotic cover of The Fall's "Winter" just ended and their drenched-in-analog-noise cover of the Clash's "One More Time" (which mixes in the dub version, too) is just getting cranked up.
