I can tell you how to play that song, but then I’ll have to kill you…
The MPA and NMPA are going after those cool tab sites where you can find user created tabs for songs you want to learn how to play. Keep in mind these people are figuring out the music on their own and sharing it with people who want to learn it as well. They never “copy” anything. So, how can it be a “copy”right issue?
“When you are jamming with a friend and you show him/her the chords for a song you heard on the radio, is that copyright infringement? What about if you helped him/her remember the chord progression or riff by writing it down on, say, a napkin… infringement? If he/she calls you later that night on the phone or e-mails you and you respond via one of those methods, are you infringing?”
The music industry has gone completely off the deep end. I can’t wait until all music is made, bought, traded and defined without the Mega-Corporations taking their unearned cut. The internet and cheap computer recording makes big records companies completely unnecessary and obsolete. I can’t wait until they are gone completely.

My mantra:
Record it yourself, release it yourself, promote it yourself.

Happy Sysadmin Day
I didn’t get anything for Sysadmin day. Unappreciative bastards…
Police infiltrating political activist groups
Everyone knows this type of stuff goes on. Hell, Nixon pioneered the practice using the FBI back in the early 70′s. I guess flagrantly admitting it is one way to not get in trouble for it. Does anyone remember why we hated communism so much? Wasn’t it because of stuff like this?
FEMA Trailer Park? More like FEMA Concentration Camp…
Looks like the people living in FEMA trailer parks are being treated more like they are in concentration camps. No media allowed without a FEMA “escort”. I guess you give up your consitutional rights when you allow the gov’t to save you from a natural disaster.

Excerpt…
From a funny email my my good friend Kristen sent me. It was an old email but still funny as hell, or maybe only to us drinkers:
THINGS THAT ARE DOWNRIGHT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHEN YOU’RE DRUNK:
Thanks, but I don’t want to have sex.
Nope, no more booze for me.
Sorry, but you’re not really my type.
Good evening officer isn’t it lovely out tonight.
Oh, I just couldn’t.
No one wants to hear me sing.
Sorry I’m being such a jackass
Hehe…oldy but goody
I’m reminded of that old joke with the guy on the roof of his house when his town flooded. A canoe passes by, and stops to help, but he refuses, claiming “God will save me!”. A powerboat comes by and offers help, but he refuses, claiming “God will save me!”. A helicopter comes by and he again refuses aid, shrieking “God will save me!”. After a few more hours he drowns, and suddenly has an audience with God. He asks “Why didn’t you save me?”. God answers “I sent a canoe, a powerboat and a helicopter. What more do you want?”
Band posts free CD with their show flyer
Kinda cool. A band called Heyena Snarls hang free CD’s with the flyers for their shows.
