sielwolf's Journal: Philip K Dick in the Library of America

It was confirmed yesterday: Philip K Dick is getting the Library of America treatment. Very cool. It's Ubik, The Man in the High Castle, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. Personally I'd take A Scanner Darkly, Maze of Death or (to be completely biased) Lies Inc. in the place of DADoES. But he's the first SF author so honored. I'm excited. Plus the actual cover picture of him is hilarious (the one with the cat). Street date of May 31, 2007.

Holla Atcha Boy.

The fact that Web 2.0 breaks Web 1.0 (URLs and makes linking difficult)is something we need to shout about to the high heavens; IT's REALLY DUMB!

Our Band Could Be Your Life has me lamenting the un-availability of Huesker Due (can't be bothered to figure out umlats on a Winders box*(I used to have some internation us keyboard mapping sys-tray icon that could make things easier, but that was 2 computers ago), this is effectively the same thing) on iTunes(damn sst!) and combing YouTube for videos ("Stay Lubed,

Next Thurs sounds like a good tentative plan. It should hopefully be out of the way.

Our Band... has a great design because it approaches the whole evolution of the scene(s) the only way you can. If you just explain that "yeah there was Hardcore and that's where most of these first indie labels got started... but not all those bands where Hardcore... but they did shows together... and anyway then the other bands kind of started to become this indie rock thing" it doesn't seem to make much sense.
