Speaking of The Hip, Gordon Downie has a new CD and book coming out called Coke Machine Glow. You can preview some of the songs/poems at that Wiener Art Records site.
song of today: Putting Down by The Hip. ...I'm starting to choke on the things I say.
oh, if you haven't seen it, SXSWbaby! is go. (are you going?) I've been having fun looking through everyone's pictures from last year. It would be cool to do something with pictures on the sxswb site. hmm.

You too can improve your media literacy with a trip to culturefreak.com. I especially like the gallery of American marketing detritus and the glossary of marketing related terms. [via your ad here] Now I must consume a superpremium meal solution at its EDLP (cheap!).

So I was sitting around the house tonight with some friends watching Fritz Lang's movie M (from 1931). Suddenly, a little girl rode into a scene on what appeared to be a razor scooter. That's right, a little girl in Germany in the early 1930's on the latest breakthrough in skate technology - a razor scooter! We stopped the film and backed it up. Yep, we were seeing it right: steel frame, 2 small wheels, handle to steer. Kinda makes this lawsuit seem silly. (I think that's what they call prior art.) If only the scooter in M had a brake on the rear wheel, it could be worth $10,000.
