Nicholas pointed to Jamie Zawinski's debate with himself about the merits of webcasting, and makes some very cogent points about the wretched CARP spec thankfully rejected by the US copyright office, but he misses the real news -- Zawinski alluded to Curve to describe some band I'd never heard of. That's terribly exciting. I had the Kidneythieves album on order half an hour later.

It's pretty darn good. Apart from the two slower tracks lacking the early Nine Inch Nail guitars, it's less Curvy than Puracane-y, occasionally verging on Medicinal. I'm partial to the tongue-in-cheek cover of Willie Nelson's "Crazy". The Kidneythieves show at the DNA Lounge show was last week as well as being 800 miles to the south, but they're touring all over with KMFDM this summer. 06:08PM «
