I don't know what all of the hubub is about. I like Anthrax. I especially like their cover of the Beastie Boys "Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun" (Found on the Beavis and Butthead Experience CD)and their collaboration with Public Enemy on the rock/rap hit "Bring the Noise." We need to quit discussing music and start worrying about the possibility of terrorist attacks on American soil.

If you've wondered where I've been, check out the new STUART WYLEN TRIO website. The band had a top notch, jedi knight, professional do the graphic design work, and (well...) me doing the html (thank God for Front Page). Sort of like a Ferarri body with a Pinto engine. Check it out, yo. Buy stuff off of the site.

Hey, today marks 1000 hits since August 1st. Special thanks to Jam Magazine, Jim Spagg, Harry Lime, and Humorlinks for the free promotion.

Did you read that last post? How angry did that sound? Boy, this weening off of the caffeine is killing me. What a rant. I'm not going to delete it or anything, but gosh that's harsh. I even signed my name to it twice, illustrating my confusion.

I bought a new monitor today. Actually, my Dad's company bought it; only it's at my house and no one at his company knows about it. Other people's credit is much cooler than your own.

Qwest has let their ftp server sit and rot for about four days now. FUCK. I need to upload stuff, goddammit!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a question for Portland's "Rock Alternative," 94.7 KNRK [radio station]. Why is it that any white rap act is considered alternative? KNRK has included Eminem, Bloodhound Gang, House of Pain, Cypress Hill, Beastie Boys, and other honky groups in their rotation. Why? Why is it that white hip-hop is alternative? What's the rationale for playing Eminem but not Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre?

I think it's because KNRK hates black people. It's the only possible explanation. No black DJs, no black artists. The only thing black in the studio is the lipstick on the female (and some of the male) DJs. Oh, and I guess the goth clothing straight from Hot Topic.

Gooch is sick. Sick of the qwest.net ftp server that has raped me of my ability to update this page. QWEST ftp server has been down since yesterday and "might" be back up "later tonight."

Had to vent.

gooch is now officially sick. So sick, in fact, that he's resorted to talking about himself in the third person.

If you have nothing to say, you should say nothing. But why should I start following that piece of advice now?

Oh, you want an update to the log? Well, my DSL is hooked up again. I'll start adding new links to the links page, and maybe I'll write another column. Word of advice: Don't get a USB DSL modem, get the internal. Sure, it sucks having to spend an extra 20 second to open your computer case, but the difference is like night and day.

Paxil+Ephedrine=insomnia. Gooch=tired.

My schedule is now swamped with the extracurriculars. Dart League on Thursday nights, appearances on cable access (you know, where I imitate a stone statue for an hour at a time), working on a CD release for a band, and sharing time between practicing my drums and trying to get higher scores on my Atari 2600.

Jam Magazine is coming back to newstands. Just like the Empire, just like Christ, they will strike back.

I want to go to bed. I'm tired boss... dog tired.
