so this is it. looks like it is time to pack up your bags and make off with your wants. it all started when a bunch of psycho kung fu mobsters decided to assassinate david carradine. oh this is just the beginning of something that has been going on for some time.

Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets
----They're all uptight

Taken May 19, 2009 at the NASA Wallops Island site on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. An Orbital Sciences Minotaur I rocket carrying TacSat-3 lifts off from Pad 0B at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility Va., May 19 at 7:55 p.m. EDT. The launch was the third launch of the Minotaur rocket from the NASA facility that partners with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport. TacSat-3 is the first mission whose payload selection process was based on recommendations from combatant commanders around the world. As the primary funding agent for TacSat-3, the Operationally Responsive Space Office is responsible for facilitating the transition of the TacSat-3 technology to operational capabilities.

The Appleseed Cast write really pretty songs and are generally pretty underrated. They've been at it for about 12 years and consistently kick ass. They're touring for the last time right now, and I'm not going to be able to go to the NYC show because of a wedding, which sucks pretty hard. To simultaneously mourn my inability to see them play for the last time (luckily i got to see 'em in '99) and celebrate their awesomeness, I made the best-of mix below. Enjoy.

I haven't gotten the new record yet, but I hope to pick it up soon. Really lame of Vagrant to not have an LP version.

I've been listening to Ron and Fez, and I guess I'm a little behind, the Phillies just won the World Series and there isn't a new President yet. Being a Mets fan I'm not celebrating this fact too much, but Ron grew up in PA and his Father is a big Phillies fan, so in a rare, serious moment for Ronny B, he talks a bit about his relationship with his Dad and their connection through baseball, as a heads up it clocks in a little under ten minutes...
