The Future of Sound

[vovat]

The other day, I logged on to my MySpace account for the first time in a little while (not counting the times when I read the XTC blog posts), which was probably a mistake, since there are apparently spambots set up to send junk mail to anyone who logs in. I did find out, however, that the Ditty Bops, the New Pornographers, Carolyn Mark, The Last Car all have new songs on their profiles. (Well, actually, the Last Car song can't be THAT new, since I saw them play it back in 2005. But it wasn't on their EP and they didn't play it either of the times I saw them open for They Might Be Giants.) The new New Pornographers album is scheduled for release on August 21st, the same day as Rilo Kiley's. Whether Ozma will be getting them as birthday presents remains to be seen. Carolyn has one scheduled for a September release (at least in this country; I think it'll be out earlier in Canada). Frank Black's Bluefinger will also supposedly be out that month, although I haven't seen any official confirmation of this.

Let's see. What else? Well, in addition to the Simpsons Movie, I saw two older films for the first time this past weekend: Rocky and Evita. I didn't know before that the Rocky theme had words, and pretty lousy ones at that. It's much more dramatic without them.

I had ANOTHER going-back-to-college dream recently, but I don't think I ever actually got there within the dream. It was all about the packing and preparation, and partially about my being upset that I wouldn't know anyone. Going back to college was always exciting for me back in my undergraduate days, but I hated the preparation.


I got this quiz from jenhime. As someone who never played Dungeons & Dragons but always thought it looked interesting, I enjoy quizzes like this.

Your Score: Wizard

25% Combativeness, 16% Sneakiness, 76% Intellect, 8% Spirituality

Brilliant! You are a Wizard!


Wizards are spells-casters who study powerful arcane magic. While Wizards tend to be pretty fragile, some of those spells can pack quite a punch. Unlike Clerics, Wizards aren�t as good at fixing people as they are at breaking them, so watch where you toss that fireball�


Your most distinctive trait is your intelligence. You're probably well learned and logical, if perhaps a bit fragile.

Funny, the only times I ever log into my MySpace account are because I receive an email saying "so-and-so sent you a message/wants to be your friend" and I have to log in just to find out that they are spammers... never the other way around....

I had a going-back-to-highschool dream last night, myself. But I had a lot of weird dreams because somebody had gas and woke up screaming just as I reached REM sleep every time all night.

I get a fair number of those as well, but it seems like it goes out of control when I'm actually logged in.
