http://thecapitalistyouth.com/blog Self portrait of the artist as totally awesome Fri, 30 May 2008 13:06:05 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en There's this guy working at the front desk who's really bad at using the radio. He'll say things like "Housekeeping to Todd," when he's Todd*, and he's trying to get a hold of Housekeeping. It makes it sound like he's commanding them to answer. Then he says stuff like "Can someone ... http://thecapitalistyouth.com/blog/2008/05/30/using-the-radio/ Hopefully late tomorrow I'm going to post a song that Kelly and I wrote. It's not entirely sensical. We wrote the lyrics for one of the titles on songfight.org, but then we didn't start recording until today. So it wasn't ready for the songfight, but it also wasn't ready today, ... http://thecapitalistyouth.com/blog/2008/05/19/coming-to-a-town-near-you/ Hey guys, I was just listening to the album "If you're feeling sinister" by a band called Belle & Sebastian. It's really good! I think these guys could be big!! http://thecapitalistyouth.com/blog/2008/05/07/belle-sebastian/ A couple (few?) months ago my hard drive died. Being retarded I hadn't backed up in a really long time. I lost a bunch of source files from recordings, email, pictures and a variety of documents. But, I just downloaded a bunch of pictures that I had previously uploaded to ... http://thecapitalistyouth.com/blog/2008/05/06/dear-flickr-thank-you-for-existing/ I put up a new song on myspace and the website. You can go here to listen to it. (I also put up the other songs I've been doing for songfight) The new plan is to create something every week. We'll see how that goes. I'll do songs, but I ... http://thecapitalistyouth.com/blog/2008/05/05/john-cusacks-song/ I saw this interesting article about big record labels being unfair. I am shocked. Seriously though, it's interesting to read if you're a music fan. http://thecapitalistyouth.com/blog/2008/03/01/music-industry/ I haven't been keeping good track of my website, but recently I've been looking around because I'm going to put up a re-design. When I was looking at my web stats, I noticed that I have ~80 "links from an external page," where the supposed page is actually an mp3. I ... http://thecapitalistyouth.com/blog/2008/02/22/link-pingback-spam/ So I'm trying out ReverbNation. Just seeing how I like it. They make banners and music playing widgets for you. Kind of nifty. http://thecapitalistyouth.com/blog/2008/02/21/reverbnation/ Sometimes when I'm bored and mindless I'll type the first thing that comes to mind into my web browser, and see if it exists. Today I visited fightforyourrighttoparty.com. At first I thought it was just a stupid place holder website with random links on it. But then I read the ... http://thecapitalistyouth.com/blog/2008/01/31/superlative/ I call clients to check if they need AV. This guy I was just talking to seemed friendly enough, but he said we were too expensive. Me: "Well what did you need?" Customer: "We need a screen." M: "Oh, what price did they quote you?" C: "I didn't even find out. They just said ... http://thecapitalistyouth.com/blog/2008/01/30/boggled/
