Anybody have any ideas for birthday presents I can suggest for my mom to buy for me?

She has asked me what I want.

I'm a grown boy now, and have basically bought everything I could need in this world, and just listing a bunch of CDs seems tired.

With what little I've seen of both the Nessica and Darmen couple shows...I would have to agree with you. Isn't Navarro supposed to be this interesting musician from a groundbreaking band? It all seems dull.

Well, all good suggestions thus far-here is mine-
Billy Childish and thee headcoats-180 gram triple gatefold vinyl of collected singles
MAGAZINE-box set
Swedish massage-yeah, I have never had one...but fuck sounds like fun....
a pair of Carhart pants--always handy
a decent swiss army knife
or.....or......or
go to the AK PRESS website...have your mom pay for a frinds of AK for a year--and get every title they publish in a year for free....plus a 10% discount on whatever else.......cheers! and happy birthday

Forgive my brevity; I assume most folks aren't around on the weekend anyway:

1) Took mom to birthday dinner
2) I think I got food poisoning... maybe a virus
3) Much of this puke during the night
4) I feel like hell
5) I managed to make a couple of mix CDs, finally... to be honest, illness or not, I wouldn't have done much more than...

I don't know what HST would say. Maybe it's time I started reading some of his stuff, too. But then, maybe I shouldn't. Maybe he'll just tell me what I already know, but articulate it more clearly than I've previously read, or differently. All I really know about him is from the Gilliam movie. I dunno. Is he just a big, fat, incessant cynic? Don't know if I need any more of that right now. Like... take Vonnegut. I think I've read everything he ever wrote. Unfortunately, I think I read 90% of it in a month or two of straight-through reading. Left me incredibly depressed. He's a brilliant writer, one of my favorites. But after reading his stuff, I find myself seeing the world through deeply cynical lenses, you know? Is Thompson like that?

DragonflyCQ mentioned that the show Carnivale is like a puzzle. You know, that instantly jogged my memory to a book I think most SGers would love: Masquerade by Kit Williams.
My sixth grade teacher introduced us to it. Kit Williams was a philosopher/ merchant marine who looked like a cross of Jim Henson, a wood sprite, and a Hawkwind roadie. He made this sprawling, ultra-psychedelic...

Who in this day and age listens to any mainstream radio......we are all erecting midnight towers.....awaiting the revolution

No....usually I do all my killing. He just happened to be in the mood for killing landlords.

I'm very much into the Electrotrash as well. Fischerspooner and Adult are the top notch ways to go. Also check Miss Kitten & the Hacker, Felix the Housecat (though those two are often times a bit house-ier than I'd like), Shapeshifter, Ladytron, and Tiga. Tiga's got a DJ Kicks album on the !K7 label that's pretty sweet. I've been listening to a lot of DJ Kicks lately. The Andrea Parker and Terranova kick ass (esp the Andrea Parker...it's got a lot of 80's old skool new wave-hip hop ontop of almost european tribal beats). I've also been up on the Indietronica side of things with bands like the Notwist, Tarwater, Lali Puna, Jan Jelenik (Farben), Dntel (beatmaster from the Postal Service), Mum, Autechre, Boards of Canada; and more hip hop-ier stuff like Dabrye, Prefuse 73 (and his new project Savath & Savalas which would fall in the indietronica category with it's upright bass and violin) Chicken Lips (another DJ Kicks), and Crazy Penis (good amount of disco-funk). Uhhhh....I just realized I went on quite a rant about electronica....you're probably overwhelmed.....Doht!

Carnivale.....is the shit....I don't think it's on HBO On Demand anymore, but they're gonna release it on DVD. And I HIGHLY recommend buying it. You can't watch it enough. It's super twisted yet very much laid out in a pattern. I fucking love it. It's probably one of the best puzzles I've run across in a very long time. You'll think you've got it all figured out, then they'll turn around and do a scene that totally blows your theory. I'm DETERMINED to figure it out before any of my friends do. biggrin

Further Facts About My Plush THE CHEAT Doll

Funnily enough, the Chaps designed a special sticker for the side of the box. I wish they'd included one unused, inside, since the post office gets your boxes filthy in transit... but anyway, it says "Kick The Cheat - The Cheat" around a pic of The Cheat getting kicked by a big foot a la the mechanical...

I don't understand what you're talking about. Have fun with whatever it is. Can you put buffalo wing sauce on it?

Yeah!.....I have no idea what's goin' on with 534. I drove by it the other day and saw all the yellow tape out front. That sucks that you drove all the way down here to find out that it was closed...I'd have been PISSED!! mad But I hope you found something else to do instead. I'll see what I can dig up around the campfire and let you know what the hell they're doing. You gonna come down on Sunday for bowling?

Is it anything like the 80s children's program PINWHEEL???

Got Saucer Wisdom today. Book smells FUNNY. Can't pinpoint the smell... something oily... Maybe a bit like a toxic Marks-A-Lot, but only after the acrid fumes have worn off and all that remains is something that just doesn't smell right. See what happens when you get stuff cheap over the internet? Context aside, I'm grooving so far on the preface and introduction and look forward to reading the rest as soon as I'm done re-reading Neuromancer. Seems like I had to do that with the last Gibson Novel I re-read, his collaboration with (I had to look this up) Bruce Sterling, The Difference Engine.
