Free sampler “CD” from the iTunes Music Store. Features the fab TKO by Le Tigre, which Joy *hates*, but Rough Trade describes as “a raging electronic punk mix of joan jett, the buggles and kim wilde”. Yes, it’s that good!

The mass-mailing of complaints about “decency” has now reached the British media, as 15,000 complaints are received by the BBC *before* “Jerry Springer - The Opera” is broadcast. And Rupert Murdoch’s stoking the fire.

Fire Eagle thinks I'm currently in San Francisco, CA, and have been for around 2 months, 2 weeks.
