Live In A Hiding Place

The disadvantage to having several weeks' worth of music on your computer is that it's damn near impossible to give all of it the listen it deserves. My solution to this is to dump every mp3 I have into a playlist, set it on random, and never turn off the music. But problems with having too much music keep cropping up. Case in point: I was doing random listen just now when I some song I had never heard came on. Now this is far from a random occurence, but it gets better. The song that came on was by some band I had never heard of (rarer, but not uncommon), and it was really really good (that is pretty rare). I kept listening to it over and over (that's only happened a few times). (That's why it's the title of this post.) Then I tried to think back to where I had gotten this stuff by "Idlewild." I have no idea. I want to thank whoever recommended this to me, but I really don't know where it came from. It may be from as far back as two years ago. Fucking annoying. It's also annoying that I had never heard of this band before just now. I hope the rest of their stuff is as good as this one song. We'll see.

So it turns out that I have two spare GMail invites. If you're out of the loop, that means that I can invite you to get an @gmail.com email address, so you can use the best email service ever to grace the internet. If you want one, send me an IM or something. First come, first serve. Well, not really. I'll hand them out at my discretion, but if you're not a complete douchebag, I'll probably give one to you.

So it finally happened. I found a better window manager than fluxbox. I feel ashamed to say it, but it's true. It's called waimea, and it is awesome. It's customizable to the point of being ridiculous. I think that with enough time and elbow grease, I could probably make it look and act like any other window maanager out there (with the possible exception of piewm). So I made it look and act like fluxbox, so I have all the familiar comforts, but a ton of new advantages, like an awesome theme engine, SVG graphics, and and awesome xml-based configuration system. You have to edit the xml by hand right now, but someone with a bit of know-how would be able to program a kick-ass gui configuration tool for it. I can't wait until freedesktop.org's xserver stuff gets to the usable stage. So awesome...
*End Geek stuff*

So yeah, I skipped out on the whole rant about the religion quiz and the philosophical musings on religion. Maybe later. Probably not.

Well, I've been listening to the rest of the Idlewild stuff while writing this post. Yep, it's all pretty damn good. I'd recommend giving them a listen.
