Not enough time for McG's recommended links

Every now and then I just sit at the computer and go out of my way to find interesting things to look at that I haven't seen before. This is like link-clicking-stream-of-consciousness of all sorts of things right now.

My former boss' husband does stuff on usedwigs.com which has some decent music and film coverage. The humor is sarcastic (always a fave wih me) ... the woman sitting next to me at work is listening to AC/DC's "For Those About to Rock" ...

...I thought this story called Dirty Fan Male was pretty good if you're into reading the type of fan mail porno stars receive ...

...I've been digging the new Bad Religion album, "The Empire Strikes First," a lot lately. This interview with singer Greg Gaffin is worth checking out if you're a BR fan ...

... I used to be infatuated with the Jackalope a long time ago, when I used to road trip a lot ... I wish I lived in Australia so I could buy the 4 CD boxset by the Saints ...

... Someone once said that Benn Ray of Atomic Books shares my cynical comedic leanings ... I thought this column on scammers was pretty good ...

...The other day I was in front of my house and some dude kept yelling, "Excuse me sir!" and against better judgement, I stopped to see what he wanted. He started in with asking if I could perform an unspecified favor for him, (which probably would have fallen under the category of nuisance crime), to which I honestly replied, "probably not." He immediately countered with, "you won't do me a favor because I'm a black man? What are you racist?" ... this is why I ignore beggars, panhandlers and anyone who addresses me as sir or says, "Excuse me sir!" ...

... I found cryptome.org the other day and thought it might be of interest to someone ... the possibilities of MP3 blogs are pretty exciting, but I've found too many sites that regurgitate what free MP3 links are out there and don't help readers discover exciting music ...

... I linked to an advance copy of the new Elliott Smith album the other day ... I didn't list the exact content of the link (for obvious reasons) and the only comment I got was from someone asking, "What is this? You have to register!" ... now what we be the point of explicitly publicizing and linking to a site to download an album that isn't out yet? ...

... One of my favorite download sites, infekt, was finally taken down. A bunch of loudmouths on a bulletin board ruined it for everyone ... forget Red Bull, I'm sticking with Red Skunk ...

... Actually, I'm a fan of Rockstar Diet Energy Drink because it helps me stay awake when I have to get up at 2:45 a.m. ... I think the lamest energy drink out there is Pimp Juice which is essentially antifreeze-colored apple juice ...
