Catchy stuff from a Swedish band called You Are My Everything, spawned from Reverend Big O. All their music is free for the downloading at that website, BTW.

The album or EP or whatever it's called is named Factory of New Consent, which I find quite funny given the era it reminds me of.

Um, yeah. Jim and I gave up the radio show and are looking into podcasting. I can podcast from my bed, fulfilling a long-dreamed dream of being able to "broadcast remotely". Podcasting isn't exactly that... it's better. Because I can do it from my bed.

I'm getting old.

Ken Andrews also sang and played guitar with a "supergroup" of sorts (read: no one's ever heard of them) called the Replicants. They played covers only. I think a guy from Tool was also in this band:


Dude is awesome.

I met him about 4 years ago at a show in CHGO and went just the wee-est bit fangirl.

[I mean, Failure were a total, SPECTACULAR failure in terms of living up to expectations and were infamous in the crowds I hung with back in what I fondly refer to as The Day. They had such incredible talent, but a penchant for creativity-and-soul-sucking extracurricular activities coupled with lots and lots of bad luck made sure Failure went nowhere. Man!]

 Anyway, he tolerated me because I was one of his new bandmate's friends. We chatted here and there about a few people we had in common, and I'm sure I stuck my foot in my mouth more than once.

When he stood up to go, I was totally shocked to see he was a few inches shorter than me. I was so prepared for him to be 6'3" or something.

I stick now to just listening.
