Comp USA closing 105 stores. Karma baby.

The big box goes down

Comp USA is closing 105 stores. Gee I wonder why?

If you are in the need of some terrible products and the worst customer service on the planet, you’d better get down there soon. Better hurry so you can take advantage of your final opportunity to be ignored on the sales floor.

The big box of computer stores is going down. Hmmm… This is a chance for the little box to gain some ground, which is good.

Van Halen Train Wreck

December 18th, 2007

I don’t watch TV anymore. There’s too much entertaining stuff on YouTube.

Here’s a Van Halen concert gone bad. Seems that the “pre-recorded” keyboard parts have been accidentally transposed without the knowledge of Eddy or anyone else. Perhaps the sampling frequency on their DAT machine was set wrong.

Video game background music gig

December 5th, 2007

My rock & roll band is going into the studio today to do some music. It seems the developers of a Nintendo Wii game similar to Guitar Hero are fans. Should be fun to hear yourself play on a video game.

The one “issue” is that the studio we’re recording in, is run by a guy who I’ve known for a long time and is a total bonehead. This guy walks around town speaking with a British accent, even though he’s probably never even been to the U.K… bonehead.
