Apparently, "Anna's a bot.":http://mog.com/Joxley/blog_post/47443_sigh_Figures. The IT guy's sister's a bot. It's almost cliche; I mean, what other person would appreciate my quirks? Would a real person get as excited for my "data demon" tendencies? Of course not!Then again, maybe I'm just a bot myself. :PIn any case, I have too much emotional investment in our relationship to let her bot-ness ...

  By the Time I Get to Venus

"By The Time I Get To Venus" is now a classic tune by Juan Maclean, but it only recently received its own video.

The Juan MacLean is John MacLean. John was the guitarist for Six Finger Satellite which was a post-punk band that attacked the senses with a machine gun guitar attack that was played during a 50's science fiction film while twitching from the shakes from a slight drug overdose. It was a great band for me at the time. My favorite album was Paranormalized. In case your not familiar they sound...

The original is a total heady Saturday night tune very much in the vein of Human League while the James Curd remix gives has a bit more of a hop and skip electro vibe (whatever that means). Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem seems to have joined The Juan Maclean for this round too. This is [...]
