Sheep

People are so easily guided by crap, following their favourite forms of media without question and thinking that the ideas they regurgitate are their own. I guess that's why The Dead Milkmen song "Moron" has been stuck in my head today. I guess that's why I changed my quote of the moment. I was also reminded of a Sloppy Seconds lyric: "Patience is a virtue that only seems to hurt you". Seems that's the attitude of most people these days.

I was an angry boy today, coming into work. I am getting frustrated with this city and the self-centred displays coming from the sheep I see wondering the streets. Some of the worst offenders are people who stand in the middle of the street looking to see if the streetcar is coming, only to shoot me a dirty look when I almost run them over. Newsflash moron, the middle of the street is probably not a good place for you to be standing at anytime. The people on the sidewalk can be just as bad, barreling through crowds with their indignant faces and/or baby carriages, surprised that the rest of the world isn't moving out of the way for them. My fellow drivers are just as bad, waving their fists and honking their horns as they try to cut off other drivers (potentially causing bodily and monetary damage) so they can make it to their spa treatment on time. Maybe Copernicus was wrong. Maybe the Earth really revolves around them.

Damn it, I'm only 31 and I feel like a grumpy old man.

Reviews

I’m back on the review train, which is why there has been so little action here. With no new computer in sight, I am actually writing my reviews on a lap top while doing my research on a desktop PC. I thought my head would explode - to much time spent on the little things!!!!! At least I have some new music to offer my quick opinions on. If you want to see the full reviews, check them out in April on exclaim.ca.

(M = very bad; MMMMM = resplendently yah!)


The Band: Rammstein
The Album: Rosenrot
The Label: Universal
Not the best release to date for the popular German act, but still worth checking out.
MMM½


The Band: Headscan
The Album: Pattern Recognition
The Label: Artoffact Records
Montreal-based duo will please most fans of electro-industrial music, though there is a lot of filler here.
MMM


The Band: Evestus
The Album: Wastelands
The Label: D-trash Records
A self-proclaimed "post-apocalyptic soundtrack", Estonian-based Evestus produces an addictive experiment in what can be accomplished on your home PC.
MMM½


The Band: The Scroll
The Album: Swan Soliloquy of a Deehrelict
The Label: Akachic Records
Montreal-based The Scroll don't just touch on a variety of underground genres, they kick the shit out of them.
MMMM½


The Band: Schulz
The Album: What Apology
The Label: Sudden Death Records
Former KMFDM member Guenter Schulz, and Vancouver underground mainstay Jeff Borden unleash a world of disappointment.
M


The Band: Girls Under Glass
The Album: Equilibrium
The Label: Van Richter
German darkwave veterans offer decent, 80’s sounding, Goth.

It Wasn't Broke, So Why . . .

. . . did the Mappoint website have to change? It was a more reliable means of locating various addresses than Mapquest. Now Mappoint (currently going by Local Live) has an annoying interface with a frustrating tendency to assume you are traveling in the U.S.A., including the default measure of distance being 'Miles'. I guess my mind has been made up for me. I am, once again, a Mapquest user.
