Now Playing
Just saw a Pizza Hut ad in the Super Bowl pregame show. A twelve year old kid and some blonde in a red dress murdering Nancy Sinatra. For a second I thought she was gonna give the kid a lap dance.

Now NOT Playing
Anything from Napster. They didn't sound like a very good deal back when they launched their new legal version and I think that's become obvious even to them. Essentially you just rent or lease the music you get from them and if you ever cancel your subscription the music becomes unplayable so you wind up with nothing. Today I saw they're offering a free trial to attract new subscribers. That's a big red flag right there. If the deal was any good in the first place they wouldn't have to do that now.
Now Playing
Drone Zone on SOMA FM. One of my favorites, it's great in the background when I need to be able to concentrate. They're on the net of course but they're also built into the iTunes radio section under Ambient.

Adam Curry's Daily Source Code (DSC-325) is on and he's talking about the Podsafe Music Network and the possibilities for splits involving musicians and listeners who sell music through a link on their page.

Pruning the customer
What's with Arborway Tree in Jamaica Plain? A couple of years ago I had them prune an ornamental tree in our front yard. They sent a kid over and instead of shaping it properly he gave it what amounted to a bowl haircut. Completely artless and I don't think very good for the tree. That was enough to put me off them for good but my wife called them the other day to get an estimate on cutting down a tree in our back yard, it's nearly dead, and they came back with a price three times as high as the estimate we got the day before. $1800.00 vs. $550.00 Wow!! Overpriced and lousy service, what a combination. Also, we didn't get the estimate in writing, they just call back. Super.

First he talks about assassinating Hugo Chavez and now Sharon's stroke is divine punishment. Unbelievable, what a schmuck.
