Went to see George Carlin last night at the Detroit Opera House. It was pretty disappointing. I freakin’ love Carlin and his humor. I have his cds, read Napalm and Sillyputty, but he’s off his rocker. About 1 hour performance broke down as so:
5 minutes shameless self promotion to buy his stuff.
15 minutes of funny toliet humor.
10 minues of politics and why he hates Americans.
15 minutes on people comiting suicide (his new book is entitled A Life Worth Losing)
15 minutes of explaining his joy in natural disasters like Katrina.
Yeah, there wasn’t a lot to laugh at. He’s always done distasteful humor, but this just went too far and the house’s lack of laughter let him know it.

I haven’t talked too much about my latest site here. Since I bought the domain name, I guess its now considered public.
A long while ago, I started the Unofficial Big Sonic Heaven Website. Well, Ive taken the concept and ran with it into a new site. PhonicRaptue.com is much better suited for the community of BSH fans, plus it doesn’t exclude people that never heard the program. The site caters to all fans of Dreampop, Synthpop, Trip-Hop, Electronica and so on. The song database has been revamped a bit, there is an event calendar that anyone can contribute to and forums for discussion.
Last week I started the Phonic Rapture podcast. Only two people listen so far, but it could grow. With the new site, I’ve been trying to push things in a new direction. I would love if artists came to the site to post their events in the calendar, or requested their song to be in the next podcast. MySpace kind of overshadows all of this, but I think I can do more, because I want to make it more personal — something MySpace could never do.
So, do me a favor and check out the new site. Sign up and help it grow.

I know, I know, I know. No real update from me in weeks. I’ve been extremely busy. I still am. In fact, I shouldn’t be writing this now. I should be doing my homework and going to bed.
I got a temp job. I’m working for CareTech at Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital. For two weeks I take inventory of all computer equipment throughout the hospital and affiliated buildings. From there I go straight to school then home for bed.
Wednesday, I went to see Thornetta again at the Attic. Always great, but even better when Matt Sobjack shows up. I hadn’t seen him since Summer and it was his birthday at midnight.
Friday I went up to McGee’s. Hopkins showed, along with Adam Depetris, Sean Hughes, Sarah, Tiff, Sara and Party Bill. Charley quit last week, but she trained the Friday replacement. Its not the same, but she won the bar over when she did “Seperate Ways” and NAILED it.
Saturday we went downtown. It was crazy. Took about 2 and a half hours to get there and another back home. People were everywhere. The Aloha Tent was very neat. Inside was a tropical haven with beach vollyball and a surfing expo. Before we headed to the line for the shuttle, we met Eric at his friend’s loft. He lives in the Merchant Row Lofts. If you were downtown this weekend, its above the ice sculptures. Very nice place, and very expensive.
Sunday was at Laurens until 3rd quarter, then we visited Shaun and Star at Eastgate Pub. After the game we visited McGees, but it was filled with mostly strangers.
