Some links of interest:

I highly recommend Acoustica's MP3 mixing program. It's certainly been one of the leadings factors as to why I haven't been posting any new content here for the past several days. The program is extremely easy to use, and I've mostly been using it to create cd-long DJ-style mixes and 'radio edit' versions of long songs that occupy too much mix cd space. Example: "Karen Revisited" by Sonic Youth, which I've faded out around the 4 minute mark, excising a little over 7 minutes of instrumental noise at the end of the song proper. Don't get me wrong - I love that bit of the song, but not at the expense of packing as many Sonic Youth songs onto a mix cd-r as I can.

Sequential Tart is probably no secret to the majority of people reading this blog, but I still want to give a big thumbs up to their monthly Bizarre Breasts column, which skewers poorly drawn female comic characters, mostly focusing on the Image Comics crowd. It's an easy target, sure, but the quality is there. For real.

Henry Raddick fans should rejoice - The man himself breaks his silence in an interview with The Register. What does Mr. Raddick have to say to other 400 lb men with low self esteem? "Enjoy the battle," says Raddick. "It's you against the entire world."

I have no idea who these people are, but they have me linked, they're funny, and they are from NYC, so I return the favor. Welcome aboard, 'Universal Donor' and 'Pussy Willow'.

People in the NYC area who are planning to see the free Clinic show tomorrow at Pier 54 should take note: The Village Voice is wrong, the show starts at 7 PM, and Clinic won't be going on til around 9 PM. The Voice even lists the wrong number for the venue. The proper number for Hudson River Park is 212 791 2530, you can call them to double check if you like.
