GOTO PITCHFORK and check out the SINGLES REVIEW and download the 3 1/2 stars rated 31Knots track.
31Knots: "Chain Reaction"
genre: indie rock
Addicts forget their friends in pursuit of horse; prog-dicts forget their listeners in pursuit of the primordial chord change that triggered the Big Bang. If 31Knots have successfully fused indie-punk and prog into something listenable where the Mars Volta have so spectacularly failed, it's because they know where their sympathies lie: lucid melodies and crisp dynamics. Their heads may be aswirl in chilly galaxies of theory, but their bodies are here on earth, in full possession of a physical imperative to rock. "Chain Reaction" is a spindly monster, prehensile guitar tentacles whipping it toward a crunchy, outsized vamp. Joe Haege sings like Jason Molina with a gun to his head, and his lyrics are just pretentious enough to suit the virtuosic paranoia of the music. In conclusion: Air guitar solo! Beedeley-beedeley-beedeley-beedeley-boodeley-boodeley-boodeley-boodeley... [Brian Howe]

Katamari creator ponders retirement from video games. It is as if millions of unorthodox game fans cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

I like how Paras reads "three way news". Mayhaps Ali was right.

Hmm... I never thought of that:
It's the party of a president who can give a speech to the nation on the danger of bird flu making the jump to humans yet still claims the jury is out on evolution. How exactly does he think that jump will be made? A late inning intelligent redesign of the virus?

Hey, Percy, do you ever watch Mad Money with Jim Cramer? It's so bizarre, that it's hard to look away. I mean, here's a guy taking calls about investing and the stock market, and the callers greet him by yelling "BOO-YEAH!" It seems right up your alley, P. He's got a sound effects board, and he's throwing chairs and shit; it's crazy.
