Burn that couch!

Looks like a little get together in Michigan could cramp the digital habits of possibly eveyone.


Here's one take.

I heard in a NPR segment yesterday that police are seeking to press charges on those involved in creating the facebook group because they claim that digitally projecting, "Burn that couch!" to 5,000 people is the same as being in the presence of, and yelling at 5,000 people to, "Burn that couch!" I'm going to test this theory. According to this, there are around 1.3 billion Internet users. That's a bump in the basket compared to a puny box social in the woods. Because this blog is completely free to access, it is possible for all 1.3 billion of those users to read my messages. I understand language barriers, but theres rockin' software to deal with that and I understand how certain governments regulate what their public sees--but if someone really wanted to read my rag they could. So I'm going to say something to see if it incites said activity.

*Ahem* BURN THAT COUCH

I even simulated yelling by capitalizing everything. So if there isn't a worldwide epidemic of couch-burning activity, then the misguided policeman's claim has no bearing. If what I wrote does lead to an increase in furniture burning, well then, I guess, I guess...man we're fucked--we need to turn this ship around immediately.

Hey Everybody, It's Friendship Time

So I found a load of all this digital music laying in a heap on the sidewalk. I had a profound sense of time dilation. It was hurtled back to a time when seeing crappy Vanilla Ice cassette tapes crushed on the pavement with their ribbony insides spewing out was normal. Like those days, I scooped up all this oozing digital goo because, "Hey, you never know when you might be in the mood for some generic music." I slid the repaired contents into my iPod and was amazed at what I heard.

Enter Friendship Time

Sorry that had to be a myspace page, but it seems these rockin' dudes bypassed the Internet age for something greater.

Friendship Time is a solid 1970s progressive group. With strong Yes instrumental influences and sparse vocals, they make great head bopping, jive tunes.
