Peeve of the Day: hesher-kids who go to indie record stores and then whine loudly when CDs by their commercial-RAWK idols either aren�t in stock or are tucked away in a dark corner behind the dozens of shelves of good music. Hey, Trevor--you want to shell out $18 for Jizz Limpdick�s latest, go to Sam Goody.

Today has been a musical day. After three headache-inducing hours mucking around with Quark files, I blew off work for the rest of the morning and went to the aforementioned record store to do some last-minute Christmas shopping. Today�s haul:
--No Knife, Fire in the City of Automatons
--Moby, Play (I�m a latecomer to Moby, but God, am I loving this CD)
--Free the West Memphis 3 (benefit album for those three guys in Arkansas thrown in prison for murder ... well, OK, there wasn�t actually any real evidence of that, but they wore a lot of black and listened to that loud debbilmusic and so the God-fearing folks on the jury concluded that they were Evil and Must Be Destroyed)
--The Brothers Creeggan (for my sister-in-law)
When most of you go Christmas shopping, you buy presents for other people, right?
But anyway, I then came home to find that my tickets for the Rocket From the Crypt shows in January had finally arrived. About bloody time--I ordered them from Ticketbastards over two weeks ago. I�m so stoked about this show, I could just pop--it�s been over a year since they played in front of the hometown crowd and I fully expect them to rip me and the rest of San Diego a new asshole.

Oh, and speaking of assholes, Garth Brooks is getting sued for the third time by a disability rights group for allegedly ordering that all the wheelchair seats at one of his concerts be blocked off "so the pretty girls can sit up front." Screw the Gimps--Garth wants seats for his groupies! Yuck.
I don�t want to dwell too long on this story because the thought of big-haired girls from Oklahoma lining up to "service" Garth after the show makes my gorge rise, but geez--if Garth had been paying attention while surfing all those porn websites he�d know that people in wheelchairs are at the exact right height for acts of oral hooverism. Not that I know anything about that personally, mind you.

I wish I'd rented Babe before watching tonight's Iron Chef. Is that wrong?
