Yeah, so... in addition to all of the work/personal bullshit making life just great in general as of late, my computer randomly decided to kill its access to the internet a couple days ago, thus rendering me basically useless (I'm typing this while sitting at work)... and a "solution" is looking extremely grim right now. So... yeah, I'm pretty much out of commission until I can get this shit straight. Lovely. I fucking hate technology...

Unacceptable. I need my daily Aversion fix.

Never has something lubricated and decayed society in such equal measures as technology. Except maybe booze. Or maybe this is all just bollocks. You do a damn good job anyway and I hope things start looking up again soon.

I cannot count how many times I’ve cursed the very existence of technology only to wonder how I could live without it shortly after said fit of rage. Pathetic, isn’t it?
Since you can only post from the office, how about a top ten(or thereabouts) for ‘07 thus far?
Most of my picks(in no particular order) have been on lighter side of the musical spectrum:
Lost Ocean s/t
Dear Hunter - Act II
Feist - The Reminder
Asa Irons & Swaan Miller s/t
KT Tunstall - Drastic Fantastic
A bit of a disappointing year for metal but still some good ones:
The Psyke Project - Apnea
Baroness - Red Album
Rwake - Voices Of Omens
Arkhon Infaustus - Orthodoxyn
Nihill - Krach
Cobalt - Eater Of Birds
I hope you get your net problems solved because I know first hand how much of a touchy bitch comps can be, especially networking-related issues. I’ve been pulling my hair out over that stuff since ‘02, the first year I went broadband. If you need any help just email me.

BENEATH THE REMAINS 7” on Back Ta Basics? It’s the split I think with PUNCH THE CLOWN. I have a brand new copy of it sitting in my closet in my old distro…if you want to buy it, email me and we can work out a cheap price.
thanks,
Chris

yo, redeemer: thanks for the heads-up on lost ocean, “still life” is an amazing song. however, it baffles me just what a bunch of straight-up WUSSES these dudes are.

For what it is worth, for the last 8 months I have had no own computer nor my own stable internet conection. With the help of my girlfriend’s laptop (it’s pink with flowers and annoying warning sounds and girly desktop images etc) which I am allowed to use once in awhile and my neighbour’s WiFi network I have just about managed to update http://only-in-it-for-the-music.blogspot.com as well as set up a new website at http://www.punksishippies.com. What I am trying to say, keep it up yo. If there is a will there is a way.
