May. 16th, 2006 06:56 pmATTN Eternalvox.net hostees: Globat.com will be performing network maintenance during our maintenance window this weekend in the period from Thursday, May 18th 11:00pm (PST) to Friday, May 19th at 6:00am (PST). Although we do not expect your site to be down for the entire time, we want to make sure our technicians have enough time to correct any unexpected issues that may arise.
The e-mail goes on to say they are switching out some faulty power breakers.... great. At least there's some sort of warning this time.
Not that I wasn't already in love with Canada, but here's some additional glee, as reported at isoHunt:
As reported here and here, Canadian artists such as Barenaked Ladies, Avril Lavigne, Sarah McLachlan, Chantal Kreviazuk, Sum 41, Stars, Raine Maida (Our Lady Peace), Dave Bidini (Rheostatics), Billy Talent, John K. Samson (Weakerthans), Broken Social Scene, Sloan, Andrew Cash and Bob Wiseman, have formed a new Canadian Music Creators Coalition (CMCC). They are speaking out against the same entertainment industry associations such as the RIAA and CRIA, who claims to represent artist rights. Stop the piracy! Feed the artists! Apparently that's not the case according to the CRIA's own study. Talk about irony.
Definitely have a look at their statement, which points out that suing fans is destructive and digital locks are counterproductive.
Speaking of corporate greed....
Apple rival 'tries to ban iPods': Digital music player maker Creative Technology has asked a US court to ban Apple from selling or marketing its iconic iPods in the US.
Okay, that's just... dumb.

thebigfatman sent me a link to this story: A campground at Natural Bridges National Monument has been closed because of bubonic plague detected among field mice and chipmunks.
West Nile, bird flu, mad cow, and now bubonic plague returns. You think the Earth is trying to tell us something?
In non-depressing news, I am really digging the song "Munich" by The Editors. When I first heard the song, I actually thought it was a new ZOX song because of the instrumentation XD But the lead singer sounds a wee bit like the lead from Interpol... erm.. in that song at least. I haven't heard anything else by them except "Blood," but I think their CD is on sale at Best Buy. I might pick it up. They sound quite excellent live, too.
I finally got the envelopes addressed for my big SGA mailing, plus most of the customs forms (I'm four short...). I probably don't even need the customs forms as I don't think they'll weigh over 1lb, but who knows. Better to have them filled out before I get there. Just waiting on a couple last minute details and they'll be good to go.
It's also entirely possible that I'm thinking of making a mix forauburnnothenna's "In the City of Seven Walls." I blame this entirely on KCRW and their current rotation.
