GITS2

Thursday, June 24

GITS2: Innocence. If you haven't seen Ghost in the Shell in the theatre, you are unlucky. Well, at least you can see the sequel. The quality of the original demanded a full screen representation. The sequel holds promise...

Also, if you want a good summer song for your summer day, find the Trinidad Steel Drum Band doing the song Jump in the Line. It's all about summer with those steely drums!

A Spoonful Weighs a Ton: If you like the Flaming Lips, and you should, this article about one guy's experience at their shows is a good read. "What was a straight rock show in 1993, by all reports, seemed to have turned into some sort of cutesy in-joke, with people on stage in bunny costumes, surrounded by bubbles and people knocking beach balls into the air."

What`s your pimped out ghetto thug weapon?

Knife

It's a knife. You use it for stabbing people. Although it might not be as pimped out and ghetto as the other weapons, it's more effective, which makes you more of a thug...I think.

Velvet Revolver: "Smartly, and since their debut 'Contraband' isn't set to drop until June 8, Velvet Revolver loaded its set with crowd-igniting nuggets from its respective pasts. Weiland aired out 'Sex Type Thing' and 'Crackerman' from STP's grunge incarnation, and from the Guns catalog, there was a ravaging 'It's So Easy,' a choogling 'Mr. Brownstone' (a winking self-referential choice for Weiland) and a bounding reading of 'Used to Love Her,' the acoustic, murder-themed ditty that probably sounded more controversial in 1988. (The song led into a chant of 'F--- Axl Rose!' from the pit, which Slash defused with more than just a little patience: 'Was that entirely necessary?' "
