It turns out that the latest Osil8, Press Nothing to Continue, is available in Canada. Very funny stuff. Now I feel guilty that my UK brethren can’t enjoy it, so I won’t say any more.

Day Without Weblogs
Yesterday’s Day Without Weblogs really drove home the message for me. It was like driving through a ghost town. My own participation was pretty lame. Most people had links to educational resources or personal stories. As usual, these things come up on me so fast, I usually just have time to put in the bare minimum of effort. But bravo, Brad, for putting together a really effective awareness campaign. Next year, I promise to do better!
Press Nothing To Hear Nothing
Jason K. has posted a new episode of Osil8, entitled, Press Nothing to Continue. It sounds fascinating, except that anyone outside the US can’t hear it. That includes me. And Tom. And Rik. And billions of others. If anyone has that rare combination of techie skillz and kindness, would they be willing to put together an MP3 of the audio? Please?
Frenzy Of Anticipation
I’m caught up in a frenzy of SXSW anticipation. I’ve gone looking for photos and reminisces from v.2.000. Take a look at the following stuff from:
- Heather Champ
- Derek Powazek
- Ben Brown
- John Halcyon Styn (words)
- John Halcyon Styn (photos)
- Brad Graham
- Michelle Kinsey-Clinton
- Evan Williams

- Cameron Barrett

Are you going this year? Did I miss linking to your photos and/or stories? Let me know…
More Interesting Blogfolk
I’ve been discovering more interesting blogfolk lately. Denise and Dinah are both very nice people with interesting weblogs. I’m adding both of them to my links. And Tom included me in his celebrity trash-digging, which is nice, actually.
I finally found:
- PJ Harvey – Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea ($16.99)
I really really want to like this CD. I’ve been a big fan since the beginning (I paid $30 for her first CD, Dry, when it was only available on import from the UK), but she’s lost me as she’s drifted away from simple guitar and voice arrangements. This is better than her last, but still not up there with Dry or Rid of Me. I’m hoping it grows on me. She’s really decided to go with a whole Patti Smith sound. One thing that’s always bugged me is when non-American musicians try to adopt American music. U2’s Rattle and Hum still annoys me for this reason, and I’m hoping I can learn to like PJ again.
