010: A Binary Entry...

Notice how my post numbers are three digits long? (Ex: 010 instead of just 10.) You could see this as optimistic, in a sense. I'm expecting that I will create so many posts that the leading zero becomes a necessary integer and not just MORE wasted pixels... (I'm not very Pixel-Conservationist-Conscious, am I...)

I wonder how hard it would be to do an online radio station. Technically, being a college student, I should be doing homework right now, not trying to decide if I can somehow broadcast music over the internet. (...Or posting to a blog, or spending time working on the outline for a screenplay... All ridiculously time consuming activities that I'm foolish enough to assume are worth getting behind in my homework to accomplish...) But still, I would love for you people (both of you) to be able to hear what I'm hearing while I'm typing. Like right now "What Do All the People Know" by The Monroes is rolling around in my headphones. And before that was "Release the Bats" by The Birthday Party, "My Blood" by Protein, "The Great Divide" by Portion Control, "Midnight" by Yaz, "Message to My Girl" by Split Enz, "Healthy Body" by Operation Ivy, "Tired of Waking Up Tired" by The Diodes, etc., etc; and, while I'm typing this, The Monroes has just ended and "Need More Time" by Epoxies has come on...

For me this is wonderful music, creating a certain atmosphere while I type, influencing my mood, making me smile and nod my head... But for you, these are (more than likely) just funny names for songs by ridiculously named bands (unless, by some bizarre twist of fate you happen to have the same music collection as I have and know all these songs as well.) (By the way, "Bridge? What Bridge?" by Gary Numan is playing now.) If I had some way of making the music play in the background while people read my blog then... that would be cool... (Although I don't know if I'd KEEP all of my readers... My tastes in music have been called, as politely as can be, terrible... You can agree or not, if you know the music... It won't hurt my feelings; my programmer forget to include those in my programming...That's ok; feelings are for dummy-heads!) Back to the thing I was saying before...

If I figure out some way to BROADCAST my favorite tunes over the web I'll post a note on the old BLOG and let you know so you can check it out and hear for yourself what The Birthday Party sounds like. Maybe I'll look into a LIVE365 station, or see what that button on my MusicMatch Jukebox that says "Create Radio Station from Playlist" does... After I finish my homework, I'll mess around with that a bit... (Now "Mmm Skyscraper I Love You" by Underworld is on...) But probably not tonight...

And, on that note, I'm giving up and shutting down... YO!
