Domains
Just got a new domain: www.dubdot.com. Can't really believe it was still available. And yes, I'll link to slashdot: it's the least I can do after being oh-so-original and ripping off their idea. Also, I noticed that 'pissinboots.com' is still available. I think that'd be a great one, but I don't have the required photoshop skills.
Edit: I'm watching the new music TV station 'Alt' (that isn't supposed to open until the 18th, well, no, they put it forward to the 14th) at the moment. It's somewhere around 800Mhz (UHF 62, whatever that means) if you're looking to tune in. They play way better music than C4 (goddam 'Hollar Hour') and Juice (pop, pop, pop), with no ads. In the short while I've been watching I've heard Muse and a couple of good indie tracks, but they don't have the names of the songs on the bottom of the screen (yet?) so I don't know who most of the bands are. At the moment the presenters are doing live segments from a deck in what looks likeGrey Lynn (just found out it's up from Verona on K Rd) from the orientation of the Sky Tower. They are pretending to be Eastern European. "Who is you? Adam? Oh, that sounds like atom which is a basic part of all matter. Like most humans, he took winning with gratefulness. Is our show super-uber? Yes it is!" See, I'll even forgive them the scientific error in that bit, and the fact that they're associated with George.
Oh, and Weezer is well within their definition of alternative - just saw Island in the Sun and they use Hash Pipe for one of their promos.
