That's right, sinners of GFF, it's Doomsday. We all know what that means: That remake of "The Omen" is finally here, as well as several trendy bands releasing albums. Er, I mean, it's THE END OF DAYS! How could I forget that so quickly! You see, today is clearly Doomsday. It is CLEARLY the End of Days because the date is 06/06/06, which is basically 666, which is the Number of the Beast. So says the Bible. Now, we know that THIS day is Doomsday, because the dates have NOT ONCE BEFORE IN HISTORY lined up in such a fashion after Christ's death on the standard and commonly accepted Roman Calendar. For more information on when this hasn't happened before, please see June 6, 1006 AD.
So YES, friends, saints, sinners, it is your LAST DAY to REPENT! All of you heathens out there that have turned away from the love of Jesus Christ must turn BACK to it, because this day heralds his RAPTURE! And, in plain Engrish, that basically means that all of you non-believers will pretty much all burn in the lake of eternal fire while the believers ascend quite dramatically to heaven. Or maybe a gross thousand Jews will do something pretty cool. I can't remember. Anyway, Stephen Colbert pointed out that the End of Days was coming a couple of months ago when there was a major solar eclipse, which was, in fact, yet another Biblical element of the Apocalypse. He also pointed out the other signs: The Whore of Babylon (Hillary Clinton), and that certain Jews would be marked for glory. And guess which country recently had it's elections? It rhymes with "Jewsreal".
Repent, I say to thee!
REPENT!
REPENT!
REPENT!
REPENT!
and finally, REPENT!

In other news, I now have all of my guitar equipment back from Drummer Eric, since it had been left at his apartment. My friend Sam drove me up, and we had some fun discussing video games, going to the Portland mall, watching Eric spend about half an hour trying to whittle his choices down to three used games (buy two, third is free! Hooray for sales), and eating like pigs at Ruby Tuesday (the Tall Cake is heavenly). When we returned home, we met up with Ben, who is mildly insane, and who also sold me his old short-necked bass guitar so that I could string it up with guitar strings in EDGB tuning. I'd like to have an electric that was back to full, standard tuning, or at least have something with all six strings again to tool around on with alternate tunings and stringings. The short-necked bass will work out fine, once I refit the holes for guitar string width. I'd better do that soon, because, you know, DOOMSDAY.
In final news, Sonic Youth's new single, "Incinerate", can't hold a candle to their earlier work, especially the stuff from Daydream Nation, which is now in the Library of Congress' archive for recordings that were rather significant. Mostly because it's a damn good album. However, "Incinerate" has very little of the edge displayed in their previous work, and the lyrical content is rather weird, but in a different weird than their normal modus operandi. Much of it is basically major-key pop with some vague Smashing Pumpkins (read: "1979") infulence, with minor-key elements and undertones. And Thurston is singing actual notes all the time, and even being melodic! What it lacks in biting, edgy writing that I'd grown accustomed to from the quartet, it nearly makes up in solid, simple hook writing and sheer catchiness. But, you know, I've only got today to listen to it, so I'll be listening to it a lot.
