Rant of the Day
What has happened to online shopping?! I was raised in a small town, meaning when cool online boutiques started popping-up online I was overjoyed. I used to love sites live Karmaloop, Digital Gravel , Krudmart and Threadless but it seems these boutiques have become overrun with shitty all-over-print hoodies and tees with oversized prints on them that say things like like “Keep It Tight” or “I Get Money”. Really?
We live in an age where any average joe with Photoshop and their college financial aid think they can start their own tee company and become the next Nigo. These kids slap a huge vectorized image of a naked chick on tee, get a booth at Magic and join the ranks of the horribly oversaturated clothing market. The sad thing is these online boutiques seem to be eating it up! The web has become a trailer park of shitty online boutiques and bad clothing.

Music of the Moment
Random thoughts on music:
- Man Man - Sounds like carnival music for hippies, not into it.
- [MP3] New Milosh track on Ghostly Swim - Favorite song of the moment.
- Jamie Lidell - Jim - Appreciate that he is doing something different, but can’t dig it.
- What happened to Post-rock? Anyone?
- Going to check out Solarseek again, a Mac client for Soulseek. (update: checked it out, it blows.)
