P-C. I don't know if you'll be in Texas at the time, but Justin's looking for people to be in a Max Cady video.

Get ready for your close-up: Max Cady needs fans to appear in the band's music video for the song "Tonight Alive," which will feature a mix of live performances and shots of "fans at home, singing and rocking out." The only requirements are that rockers must be in the Dallas area (or willing to come to the Dallas area), be "very uninhibited in front of the camera and know all the lyrics to the song."

If you're interested, I can give you J's email. It's in the article, but I didn't want to reprint it here.

Dude! Good thing I didn't just skip. When are they filming? It looks like I'll be in town around the end of May/beginning of June. Profile addy is good. And if I can't be there, maybe my brother can do it. Although he's going to Houston for the summer at the time I'll be leaving, so.

Insent, P-C. Also we went to see a couple of bands last night. Actually we went to see one band but stayed for the second. The first was a friend of Mr. H's band. It's kinda a gothy punky thing called the Flickerstick Subs. The basist needs a Jili-like plush doll. She's got blonde dreadlocks and a babydoll face.

We stayed for the next band A Boy Named Sue because they had a fiddle, and I haven't been to see a band with a fiddle in a while. Loved, loved, loved them. They played a hoedown version of Donkee Butt I wish Aimee could have heard.

Tina - Thanks! You're the first person I know of who's used the podcast (I haven't really publicized it at all).

I've been recovering from a stomach flu (flu-addled show now available for podcast!) and I haven't had a chance to pick my song for the gmail thingie. I'll get to it soon but if the next person wants to jump ahead, feel free.

Happy anniversary, Hec & JZ!!!

Feel better, Jon.

I just signed up for a two week trial at emusic. I still have about 30 songs I can download. Anyone have any suggestions?

Perkins-- post some of your faves and then the collective music-mind can come up with a list of songs to round things out.

ION-BF is reviewing the new Stereophonics CD, so we've been listening to to it for the last few days. Very nice stuff.

Xposted in Technology:

I want to get some new earphones for my iPod--the ones that come w/ it hurt my ears after a while. What are good ones to get?

Rio, I got $10 cheapies at a local Radio Shack. They have hooks or clips that go behind the ears and anchor the phone in the ear -- so I can turn down the volume and still hear comfortably. So far, they work far better than the original phones that come with the iPod.

Don't know about long-lasting because I only got them a couple months ago.

Huge congratulations to Jim & Penny & Seth John! Heck yeah!

Happy anniversary to Hec & JZ!

Hi, Rio!

I'm very excited this morning, as all the exclamation points would attest. However, I'm listening to a tropicalia mix, which helps.

I am officially giving up all hope of the first CD exchange completing.

Could DX, Steph, David, Corwood, Jon B, Kate, meara, tina, Anne W, Gandalfe, Lyra Jane & Alicia send me copies of their mixes?

If you don't have my address - email me at my profile address.

Thanks.
