Do or Die

Last night I flipped through to Animal Planet (which I find myself watching more amd more with each passing day) and they had an hour long special devoted to documenting the animal rescues going on in New Orleans in the wake of Katrina and it was some powerful stuff. So much so that I came into work today and wrote a check to the ASPCA as soon as I got to my desk. If you haven't given any money to Hurricane relief yet, I encourage you to do the same. If you don't think this work is important, check out some pictures, like this , this, this, and this.
The ASPCA is also working with Petfinder to do all sorts of stuff to help families find and keep track of their pets as well as encourage others to adopt orphaned animals from the storm. You can click here to donate online or send a check here:

Ok, stepping off my soapbox now. We now return you to the usual blabbering about SFA and Mylo.
Mylo might make a new record next year but it doesn't sound like he's coming to the US any time soon: "Next year I’m disappearing," [Mylo] confides. "I might take a residency and just DJ once a month, and then I’ll either make a new record or go away and do something else instead. But next year will be a year off, so I’m going to enjoy the madness for now."
SFA have added a new tour date! They will be at Norva in Norfolk, VA on Thursday, Nov 10th. This might screw up my whole SFA road trip, so now I have to go back to the drawing board. Let's just hope that gas is cheaper in November (for more than one reason).
Local faves Cartel have been forced to change their name because of this group. They will now be known as Cedars, a name I like alot, but as many people have pointed out, is unfortunately already taken. Developing...
It just occurred to me last night that I'll be seeing two members of Ride playing seperately this week.
And if I didn't already have plans for Thursday, I'd contemplate the trip to Baltimore to see Peter Hook DJ.
ProductshopNYC also has the new Oasis track for download. I've had that and the new Strokes track on my computer here at work for a week and haven't listened to either of them (no sound card).
Thank the lord Frank has returned and is back on track. I was going through withdrawl there for a while. Just imagine all the Sufjan Stevens press that didn't get linked to for like a whole week!
Stylus hearts Elbow. Suck it Pitchfork.
This looks interesting for any of you West Coasters.

Is the Nano a clunker? I don't know, but it makes the President of Motorola say bad things.

I really am not fond of that new Strokes song--it seems like everytime they're on the verge of something interesting happening they fuck it in the ass. Color me doubtful.
