my name is hov. h to the o-v. :)

have you heard about this? a guy named dj danger mouse has remixed the beatles' white album and jay-z's black album. and yes, it's called the grey album. it's actually pretty good too. i wasn't as thrilled about the black album as i was about a lot of jigga's other discs... but toss some beatles into the background and it totally revitalizes it. but even better, it's being offered up for free to download by the creator and is currently mirrored on multiple sites. the record company that apparently has ownership of the material (EMI) has filed suit and issues a C&D letter to those offering the album for download. there's some details about the whole legal war at downhillbattle.org. but tuesday before last (feb. 24th) a couple hundred websites either went totally grey or offered the album up for download in protest of some of the absurdities of current American copyright law in a stunt they called grey tuesday. i wish i would have known about it at the time... but i may toss the album up for download in the next day or two anyway. lots of news sites (mtv, wired) picked up the story. tasty.

so i finished super metroid today. a worthy battle at the end. GREAT frickin game, so satisfying. good call bakerq. :)

oh and also, hit up the curbsquirrels acoustic show down at rohs street. they only played like 7 or 8 songs... but i absolutely love acoustic punk rock. hangnail's acoustic album is only like 6 songs but it's some of my favorite stuff of theirs. eric and dave and rick did a sweet job with a handful of their songs. went up there with ben and aaron and john and big austin. good stuff.
