Some Words of Wisdom by me:

  They are what were called “Nerds” in the old days, they eschewed the
  popular music for whatever their “cool” uncle or “with it” Big Brother
  liked. You can recognize the Nerds from the current teen generation
  because they love anything Pre-Zeppelin and hate anything that might
  appear on a current Top-100 chart anywhere in the Free World. They may
  also love a current band no one has ever heard of, and they will never
  see said band live.

  Popular music is the lowest common denominator, music that the majority
  of people, before you get too down on popular music, remember that the
  Average IQ in the Western world is 100, which means that while there
  are plenty of folks above the 110 mark, there are just as many, if not
  more in the sub 90 level. A catchy hook or pandering line is going to
  appeal to that hinterland of 90-110 and snag that middle ground. Much
  like snagging the slow moving fish in a stream with no bait and a dull
  hook.

  So while these songs may suck, it is an over-reaching denunciation to
  come down on all popular music as “Crap” simply because you don’t like
  it. If it was crap, for real, it wouldn’t sell and there would be no
  demand for it. Sure some music defies logic or Taste (Yoko Ono, Wing)
  but there is an audience for it; and these are hardly million-sellers.

  For the record, my friends will tell you that I have little or no taste
  in music, so ya know, take what I say with a grain of alcohol or salt,
  whatever gets you through the next four hours of crushing boredom.

Prior to the Transformers (2007) screening on July 3rd, 2007 at in Eugene, Oregon,
mc chris announced that his albums would no longer be available for
purchase on major markets, such as iTunes or his own web site, making
them exclusively available at his concerts. He went on to say, “Pirate
that shit,” encouraging his fans to pirate, burn, or download his music
and give it to their friends to help spread mc chris’ popularity to
increase future record sales and his popularity.

The line for Transformers was huge, and it was for a later show.  I was wondering why there were so many Nerds waiting to get into a movie they could have gotten into hours earlier.  Now it all makes sense.

I’ve installed the fall dashboard update for the 360 and have been very pleased with the addition of DivX/Xvid support.  That is to say, I freaking love it!  I have a few home videos in Divx format as well as some TV shows converted to DivX (rather than leaving them on the damn DVDs)  Add to that videos made available via Google and Other places and you have a lot of video that can be played via the 360.

I checked out the Xbox classics, but decided against it as there is just not enough space on my hard drive for all of the games, I’ll spend my money on GH3 content or Rockband content after I get one or the other.
