Beatable, sure, I could make it look like I'm connecting from the USA, but meh. Again, not an audiophile, not worth the hassle. What I'm looking for is just music recommendations, like I input AC/DC, Bob Dylan, Yoshida Brothers, Fall Out Boy, etc, and the site suggests more music I might like.

Patrick Farley's a genius. His Spiders is great post-cyberpunk, but my favorite is The Guy I Almost Was. Paleofuturism and proto-hipsterdom.

A few years ago I had 2 gigs of music; now I have 11 gigs, way too much. I'm no audiophile, and never will be; still haven't listened to a lot of this stuff. Today I learned that in their early years the Goo Goo Dolls did loud, fast, punk metal stuff, bleah.

Tick tock

Power's out at the house. Camping at SM foodcourt, shuffling data, backing up to external drive, updating music and ebooks on my phone. Happy birthday. 32, I've rolled off the calendar. Getting too damn old for this. Need to get out.

Watching Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society. 3 movies and 2 series later, the animated GitS world still rehashes bits from Masamune Shirow's first volume. The original Ghost in the Shell manga is a landmark in cyberpunk for eyeball-kick density, ranking with the best of William Gibson or Bruce Sterling.
