bb update: just got out of a final to find another 20 messages on my bb. The mailing list is going strong!

The most astounding/interesting/perplexing thing happened this morning. Things went as usual. I woke up, brushed my teeth, fried an egg, burned the toast, then sat down for some quality 1 on 1 with apple mail. (yep, no shower, this is what future-scientists do)

Everything was going well and as usual: club promo, invites, mp3s, blah blah, label promoters being dicks, you know –the usual. ANYWAY…. I come to an email from Peter from the Outlaws. It’s got a mixtape, alright, sweet so I start downloading it. While that is going, I go to my next message.

I do a double take. someone pressed…..

REPLY TO ALL

and then… I saw it again… then again. The same title, but with more Re:’s attached and from different senders! By this point I could feel the excitement mounting in my happy little fingers. It had suddenly warped to 1982 and everyone reverted to using one of the earliest renditions of social networking known as ‘mailing lists’.


all those colored lines represent every time someone replied to all and re-quoted the whole message. there were at least 70 recipients on that list.

I think I just heard a little rip in the time/space continuum due to this.

The shirts are coming.

So thanks, Outlaws, for taking the incestuous blogosphere back to its roots. Get the mixtape that started this monstrosity here

long live the meme

I love you all.

Oh, I’m gonna throw down a list of tracks right here that came to the inbox the that a stood out. You know I’m not usually a fan of ‘mass track posts’, actually I don’t like that at all. But in the interest of time I’m gonna do it. Final examinations again. You know how that goes. All of these tracks are out of control, you must listen.

RIGHT CLICK THESE, SAVE AS.

ROMEO EROTIC: doing things old school Gary Low - You are a Danger (romeo erotic rmx)

TREASURE FINGERS: sweating funk all over this, O’bryan - I’m freaky (romeo erotic / treasure fingers reflip)

    if it weren’t for tuftsmania and a steady supply of headphone jams for me to rock out to while studying, I would either be in jail or dead.
