* Jim Capaldi, founder member of psychedelic rock group Traffic, has died, it was announced earlier today. The award-winning songwriter and performer had been suffering from cancer of the stomach. He was 60. Traffic was extremely popular in my household growing up. I probably still have some of their vinyl at my Mother's house. Link
* New details have emerged about Robert Plant's upcoming solo album. The 12-track CD will be titled Mighty Rearranger, not Another Tribe as originally reported, and will be released in the United Kingdom on April 25. The disc's first single, "Shine It All Around," will be available a week earlier in the U.K. No word yet on when the album -- which Plant recorded with his backing band, the Strange Sensation -- will come out in the United States.

Few people are more musically diverse or more talented than Beck. So I'm pretty excited that his new studio album, titled Guero, (slang for "fair-haired white boy") will finally drop March 29th, 2005. Bootleg tunes are sprinkled about all over the web while Salon unfairly reviews this work-in-progress. And please, no more Dylan comparisons. There's only one Dylan and there's only one Beck. Link
Outside the "Black Tie and Boots Ball" activists will have their own "Black Gold and Boots Ball" featuring Hallibacon, the Halliburton mascot, and other war profiteers that expect to make a killing during the second term of the Bush admin. Co-sponsors of the protest include some of the most creative activist groups in the country: CODEPINK: Women for Peace, Billionaires for Bush, and the Reagan Home for the Criminally Insane.
Will you boycott the war in Iraq by not spending any money on Inauguration Day, Jan 20, 2005? Not One Damn Dime Petition. Go sign if you are inclined. And there's the Bush Blackout tomorrow. Art School Confidential - Starring: John Malkovich, Anjelica Huston, Steve Buscemi; Created by Daniel Clowes and directed by Terry Zwigoff to be released sometime in 2005. Still waiting for the movie version of Confederacy Of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, who committed suicide in 1969. The novel earned him a posthumous Pulitzer Prize. The movie has been in the rumor stage for ages, but all I can find out is that it looks like Will Farrell has signed on to play Iggy, the lead character, and that financing is still being worked out.

Ok, the Democrats don't have a front runner for 2008 yet. And Senator Barbara Boxer's just about the only Democrat who's not afraid to speak out. Do I have to draw a picture? And if I'm thinking it, please tell me there's someone in a DC office somewhere discussing this very thing.

Acid Test 
Web Trail"Jump ball, jump ball! Get it, get it!"Prosecutors unveiled new graphic photographs and videos from Abu Ghraib prison on Monday as they tried to portray the soldier accused as the ringleader of the abuse scandal there as a sadistic thug who punched detainees for sport, posed smiling next to the bloody face of a detainee and bragged about forcing an Iraqi woman to let him photograph her naked.
Uh, "First and 10, do it again!"
"Oh, shit. I can't remember the new one. Graner! Help me out!"
"Aw, fuck, Lyndie. Take the leash and drag this fucker outta his cell while I cut the clothes off the others. Fuckface! Yeah, you! On your knees!"
"Oh, no. Not that again!"
"No, we're gonna try something new. It's called 'Naked Cheerleaders'!"
Thank you everyone for the kind and generous offers to burn and send me the 1.0 Firefox I've been having trouble with, but I now have one coming soon! Sometimes I just can't get it up for some of the tsunami "victims":
Need an e-card for that special occasion? (thanks, miller) Can you get high and get clean at the same time? Some American drug and alcohol addicts think so. Vince Beiser chronicles the travails of those who go in search of ibogaine, a purported miracle treatment that also produces a hallucinatory high. Addicts are crossing the border to try this powerful hallucinogen that is banned in the US. I really want to talk to someone who's personally tried ibogaine and hear their story on it. I wonder if it's similar to methadone in that you can be on some type of ibogaine maintenance for as long as needed. more... I found Montage-A-Google at Gary's site. Generates blocks of pics at your request. I haven't created my masterpiece yet, but will attempt a trial run later. Would someone please burn Firefox 1.0 to a cd and mail it to me? Email me if you can and I'll give you a mailing address. Over the past couple of years, I've had no trouble downloading Firefox versions .05, .06, .07, .08, .09, but my pc absolutely will not download 1.0. Or if I can download it, it won't install. I've tried Mozilla's and many other people's 1.0 versions, but it just ain't gonna happen.

Office supply products chain Staples is pulling its advertising from newscasts on Sinclair Broadcast Group TV stations (WLOS in Asheville, NC, is one) as of Jan. 10, saying the decision was fueled in part by e-mails from customers angry at what they consider to be the broadcaster's right-wing bias in news and commentary.
