No Product
FTA:
What if, suddenly, the strongest product brand was No Product and the strongest consumer impulse was not buying? Last year there was ample evidence that the muscle consumers were flexing most was that of restraint. The inclination not to spend almost did in the entire U.S. auto industry. Worth your time for a read.

Shell dumps hydro, wind, and solar
Shell will no longer invest in renewable technologies such as wind, solar and hydro power because they are not economic, the Anglo-Dutch oil company said today. It plans to invest more in biofuels..... pretty interesting stuff. Despite Al Gore's propaganda I predict we will see more of this. Alternative energy is just not cost effective, and when it comes down to it Americans are not going to double their electrical bills to run on solar or some other fantasy.

Nightline Vinyl
ABC's Nightline does the obligatory "They still make Vinyl Records" story - good-golly wow! even though it's Nightline's piss, I like seeing the old record pressing plant and indie record stores. Although I wish records were getting cheaper, as they increase in popularity the price keeps going up too. Scored some goodies this past weekend Denver's legendary Wax Trax Records. Hard to believe I've been going there for 24 years.....

Watchmen reviewed
Alan Moore, who has refused to have his name on the movie (ditto its Moore-based predecessors, "V for Vendetta" and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen") and who has declined all reimbursement to protest the entertainment industry's fundamental lack of respect for intellectual property, counts as a bona fide visionary. I disliked "V for Vendetta" despite loving the original comics series. I imagine the same reaction if I were to see Watchmen. Maybe NetFlix?

Paul's Boutique remastered
when someone asks what the album of MY GENERATION was/is I have two answers, the first is the Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique from 1989, the second is the Stone Roses first record from 1988. For me and my circle of people these albums are the stuff of legend. I was 19 when Paul's Boutique came out and I bought it the day it came out on vinyl in New Orleans. It's too easy to rave about it today, but in the time it was released it was more than epic. I haven't heard the remaster yet, but I'm betting they loudened it up a bit. Anyway the links here are to the new site dedicated to the album. Enjoy.
