hah, i actually kind of want to go to detroit and st louis.

apparently both cities have huge swaths of land that were once thriving urban areas and now are ghost towns full of blocks of abandoned buildings. seems like an awesome place to do some photography or maybe make my own remake of 'the omega man'

Still planning on it. Going to hit IMAX up for Dark Knight first.

Gunshot wounds are where I stash my ones for the strippers.

THAT'S what will make Saturday that much better. Let's get strippers and then make them watch Wild Zero with us.

Great band, Terrible CD covers though...

This Cover doesn't say "this rocks" to me. It puts
me to sleep at a museum.

Because I ALWAYS buy a cd based off of its cover. Doesn't matter if I already know it's great, when I see a bird on a flower or a picture of some buildings I pass on it. Right on Copernicus!

I don't think he said anything about not wanting to buy the album...

It's just a critique of the album cover which in its own right is part of the art and thus can and should be judged.

I for one think this art rules. You need to see a bigger pic of it to get the full effect- go to their myspace. Like someone a couple comments down said, it was done by the gal who did My Morning Jacket's Z.
