CDs

Hey, the new edition of TK shipped yesterday! Supposedly! I can't wait to see them! Unless they're bad! But I guess I'll find out by Friday! artname, the California shipment is five-day shipping, so with Labor Day that'll be Monday the 13th... but you might want to clear out the garage a little early just in case.

My friends generate a lot of LiveJournal entries over four days, but I think I'm caught up for now.

9/3, Missouri

North of Kansas City I listened to the Derry Brownfield show. The topic today--and every day, for all I know--was "sustainable development," which sounds like a good idea but is actually an attempt to undermine the Union from within. (FM reception was spotty, so I missed the details on that.) There was a guest on from Oregon, where the sustainable developers have already won. Apparently most of the push for sustainable development came from a series of UN-sponsored conferences in the late 80s which were infiltrated by the KGB, under the direction of Mikhail Gorbachev, who is still very active in the movement. Callers were urged to go look up the real documents for themselves, and not to trust information they find on the Internet, because a lot of the supposedly anti-sustainable-development stuff on the net is actually put there by PRO-sustainable-development operatives who go way over the top so as to discredit anti-sustainable-development activists by making them look like crazy conspiracy theorists.

After three whole days of Republican and occasionally Democratic talking points, honestly, it was refreshing just to hear a different agenda.

9/3, Iowa

The first rest area on I-35 coming up through Iowa is equipped with free wireless net. This is the only time I saw this on my whole trip, and it was awesome. I hope they're going to outfit the other ones, too.

(no subject)

On the way up here I ended up listening more than usual to MP3s by people I know--people like Colin and Philip and Dave and Meredith and if you think you should be on this list, you probably are. It gave me some time to reflect on how lucky I am to have so many talented friends.

I just put a new show up on the calendar page--way off in November I'll be playing a solo set at Brain Wash, along with Scott Andrew and Goh Nakamura, two of the people I was listening to on the drive. I have nothing specific to say about that, I'm just looking forward to it.
