Just stumbled upon Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds official website. A nice languid look through one of my favorite bands. Full of great photos, music and information.

Original script for "Tupelo".

I have been too lazy to find a fix for this, so I’d rather complain about it instead. Every time I restart my G5, Apple Spotlight seems to think it’s necessary to re-index every drive attached to my computer. WTF? This takes a good ten minutes and sends me into a homicidal rage, since the only reason I restart is to try and continue to work with shitty Adobe product. (See postings here ad nauseum.)

Every single graphic format opened in Bridge opens directly in Photoshop. Except a .png. In their infinite wisdom, Adobe has decided that this particular graphic format opens in Fireworks. This happens even if you’ve exported it from Photoshop.

Why? Oh, just for the fuck of it I guess.

After going in and trying to change the file associations, I am surprised to find that it already should open in Photoshop. Sigh...

1:21:39 PM BuCkSaTaN: Remind me never to get this fucking chicken again… WTF! It’s called “garlic chicken” when they should have called it “gristle and bone chicken”. Hey! – Let’s hack up a bunch of chicken thighs and see how many splinters people can choke on… That’s what I enjoy… eating real careful like, like a dog that’s been beaten then had a plate of horse meat set in front of him. How could anyone find this desirable?? Mmmm…a mouth full of spinal disks. Trying to separate the meat from the tiny bones… good times. It’s as if someone threw a bunch of wings into a food processor and dumped some gravy on them.
1:29:37 PM BuCkSaTaN: Worst lunch ever.
1:30:42 PM Gary: Cripes.
1:31:18 PM BuCkSaTaN: Thank god I got noodles and vegetables or I’d starve on the 2g of chicken I just ate.

4:26:05 PM BuCkSaTaN: I’d like to see the video of The Dating Game with that psycho on it.
4:26:40 PM BuCkSaTaN: Aaaaand yep… you really CAN find anything on the net.
4:30:13 PM BuCkSaTaN: What a creepy show to begin with… bizarre…
4:30:22 PM BuCkSaTaN: I’m surprised they aren’t smoking.
4:30:23 PM Gjuddy McMudd: yeah…
4:31:08 PM BuCkSaTaN: haha christ…
4:32:19 PM Gjuddy McMudd: God, it’s embarrasing to watch…
4:32:20 PM BuCkSaTaN: What a stupid-ass show!
4:32:36 PM BuCkSaTaN: “A soldier never gets his feet wet”… what are you on, nimrod?
4:34:18 PM BuCkSaTaN: This show is creepy enough without a child killer as one of the contestants.

Good christ. I mean, seriously, come on. I see the “Force Quit” window more than any other application in OS X. If Apple can’t allow users to sync their iPhones across at least two computers with iTunes (and without hacking xml files), then open it up and let users drag music to it like the iPod. It’s completely ridiculous. If there’s two things Apple cannot seem to get right it’s the integration of an external hard drive and their unwillingness to allow users to sync any of their peripheral hardware across more than one computer. In an effort to curb piracy, they make it so frustrating to work with files users have paid for that the alternative is much more inviting.

By the way, this is supposed to be a decent way of at least getting music and contacts synchronized. Good luck and enjoy that spinning beach-ball horseshit.

I hate James Cameron.
Can’t he afford to get a decent haircut?

Are you fucking joking? The Police aren’t even American! Enough of this bullshit. No wonder people pirate.

3:27:10 PM Gjuddy McMudd: The kindest that may be said of the studio compositions–by and large interminable avant-prog rambles in search of the lost chord–is that they haven’t dated terribly well.
3:27:26 PM BuCkSaTaN: Floyd?
3:27:30 PM Gjuddy McMudd: Yeah.
3:27:30 PM BuCkSaTaN: What fucker wrote that!
3:27:42 PM Gjuddy McMudd: Andrew Mueller.
3:27:44 PM BuCkSaTaN: Needs his teeth stomped in, sounds like to me.
3:28:18 PM BuCkSaTaN: “Haven’t dated well.”
3:28:27 PM Gjuddy McMudd: Well I dunno…
3:28:31 PM BuCkSaTaN: What does he want? For them to sound like a band from this era??
3:28:43 PM Gjuddy McMudd: He talking about ummagumma.
3:28:51 PM BuCkSaTaN: hmm…
3:28:55 PM Gjuddy McMudd: Not Floyd as a whole…
3:29:15 PM Gjuddy McMudd: Released in 1969, Ummagumma represents where the influence of departed founding songwriter Syd Barrett began to fade in favor of the rather less whimsical and pastoral visions of Roger Waters. Ummagumma is a double album, divided into live and studio halves. The live cuts–”Astronomy Domine,” “Careful with That Axe, Eugene,” “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,” and “A Saucerful of Secrets”–established the Floyd’s predilection for gloomily atmospheric and faintly preposterous sci-fi bombast that would turn them into such a successful stage act. The kindest that may be said of the studio compositions–by and large interminable avant-prog rambles in search of the lost chord–is that they haven’t dated terribly well. –Andrew Mueller
3:29:46 PM BuCkSaTaN: “faintly preposterous sci-fi bombast”….
3:29:53 PM BuCkSaTaN: Pretentious creep.
3:30:11 PM Gjuddy McMudd: touchy…

3:30:37 PM BuCkSaTaN: I rest my case

3:30:58 PM Gjuddy McMudd: haha
3:31:20 PM BuCkSaTaN: It’s really not his fault he can’t get laid.
3:32:14 PM Gjuddy McMudd: “Mueller’s prose is as spectacular as a Taliban attack on Lollapalooza” – P.J. O’Rourke
3:32:20 PM BuCkSaTaN: Great.
3:32:37 PM BuCkSaTaN: So he’s a terrorist.
3:33:24 PM BuCkSaTaN: And apparently has a religious hatred for bands – according to O’Rourke.
