Sup? It's been awhile. I was doing stuff.Construction on the Def Star began again after hiatus. It looks like Mog hasn't updated a lot of things automatically in a while (unless it grabbed "You Could Have It So Much Better" off my iPod [named "Rich Man's Eight Track Tape" after the Big Black album] from two days ago.) Song 10,000 was Def Squad's "Can You Dig It," featuring a sample from the mo

Song 7,500 was Goldfinger's "Fuck Ted Nugent" from a PETA punk compilation. 8,000 was something from the James Brown "Star Time" boxed set, which rules. Each of the four discs is named after one of his pseudonyms: Mr. Dynamite, The Godfather of Soul, Soul Brother No. 1 and The Hardest Working Man in Show Business. Nice.I have the Motorhead and Richard Pryor boxed sets to go. Then a zip lock b

Song six thousand was added to the Def Star last night. I'm digging on keeping track of these. I also pay attention to which CDs are on the ends of each row of the CD racks and ponder (amongst the smokey haze) if these albums are a good representation of the diversity in the racks. This really is the perfect site for me.So, Wicked. Not one of my favorites from the album. I wouldn't call mysel

I don't know how Mog lists me as "chill." Maybe it was taking a break from ripping so much in favor of (aspiring to) really concentrating on the NaNoWriMo stuff. (I know it's an off month. November isn't the time to take on new projects for a retail wage slave. Also, the goal is to write a novel in 31 days and I started on my 31st birthday. Coincidences rule!) Anyway. I'll probably fall str

Construction of the Def Star required buying a new computer. It's an HP Media Center and was on clearance. I named it Venasque after a recurring character in some of Jonathan Carroll's books. I pieced the old one together four years ago and named it Bob Digi after the RZA.Venasque is a much more modern machine and I can rip CDs while watching a DVD or um... other video files. Construction is

It's tough finding just the right birthday song in my suddenly anemic digital music collection. My skeleton of the Def Star orbiting the small forest moon of my living room. I'm working backward this time. Just finishing up with the Replacements as I type. I'm back up to 4,565 songs as of the last WinAmp update.But birthdays, yes. Tomorrow is one of mine. Number 31. Which is weird for an ag

I've long dreamt of having my entire music library available to me from my computer. I've looked into ways to get it piping into the living room, through whatever home entertainment system I end up having. I want it available over the internet. I want to be able to randomly play vintage hip hop. I will call it... The Def Star. And the technology's always changed because I never have money...

Is it Make Up? The Make Up? MAKE*UP? Fuck if I know and Google is no real help. These things are important to indexing. Southern says Make-Up so we'll go with that. The genre tag continues to baffle me. "They're just like... this band? You know?"The first time I heard of them it was about how much they sucked. That was from Ms. Internet Fling #1-Too-Many. The Philadelphia scenestress I

No, no. Not the reissued. Not the remastered. The original retail. As bought off my friend Buc during senior year, 1992. As ORIGINALLY bought from Appletree Records, a '95 mom-and-pop casualty of the giant Best Buy I currently work at. There's one last independent record store in Springfield, IL and, lamentedly, I do not shop there. Like I said, I work at Best Buy. And there's the internet
