Printer cartridge instructions from Asia are always a hilarious find. This came out of an ink package at work. It’s hard to believe a technical writer somewhere in the world was actually paid to write this. Oh, to be a college graduate during the Internet boom of the ’90s. I could have been retired by now…
Instead, I’m working at a record store and compiling mix tapes for people I don’t know or even care about (well, maybe ten of you I care about). How depressing. Rather than wallow in my self-pity any longer, I’ll just skip ahead to the music.
RULES for uninitiated noobs: With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week I’ve mined my hard drive for more cool world music, and combined it with some more well-known tunes (Eno/Budd, Larry Young, Coil), some lesser-knowns (Giants, Malmberg), and I included the opening number from the Broadway Cast Recording of Spring Awakening, the touring production of which I saw this past week. The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
