Another brilliant day at work today. Four of the hardest working people I work with have been downsized. They're being kept around for the next two months to transition the total amount of their knowledge to the new tech lead and the new outsourcing team that will be brought in, but I feel like I've been punched in the stomach. It's something that ( Read more... )

I am considering heading to the local show on their tour next month. Their latest album Siberia is an excellent album, and doesn't stray very far from their classic sound. Ian McCulloch and Will Sargent still have what it takes. I can guarantee that it won't get played on very many radio stations, though.

One of the true geniuses to make the transition from the Disco era of the 70's to the Grunge era of the 90's, without ever completely changing his style of composition. A few of his most important songs are "Dark," "Bleed," "Everyday I Die," and "A Prayer for the Unborn." No other artist captures the angst of everyday life as completely as Mr. ( Read more... )

Jim Morrison was a singer. He wrote some great songs about death, including "The End," "Riders on the Storm," "Break on Through," and "Roadhouse Blues." He is still alive and hiding out in whorehouses in Czechoslovakia. That makes me sad.

Smoky Robinson was a singer. If he were still alive today, he would be 65 years, and 59 days old. That makes me sad.
