These are good.

This one's for Guilty.

Guide to starting a Political Punk Band.

1. Righteous anger. Remember that Christmas present you wanted and didn't get? That's because the government taxed your parents too heavily and the evil corporation was charging too much for it. Use this anger to be mad at anyone with more status with you; just don't say why. You'll get laughed out of your no-label Dockers if you do. Then you'll have to get a real job. Rather, just bring up repeatedly the parts you don't like, and try not to offer many solutions. People will disagree with those, and you want to be agreed with.
2. The music. Poli-Punk is rhythm-guitar based, using all power chords. Learn the standard three-chord progression, then mutilate it. Pauses and empty spaces can be filled in by the rhythm section, which mindlessly follows the rhythm guitar. On the subject of mindless following..
3. Naming the band. Political Punk fans will believe the first thing they're told, provided that the man doing the telling is holding a guitar. This is why seventy five percent of all poli-punk bands in existance begin their group name with either the letter "A" or "B." Think old AFI, Anti-Flag, Bad Religion, and so forth. Your band needs to follow suit if it's to compete. "AAAH! I HATE THE GOVERNMENT" will put you at the front of every alternative/rock/punk section, depending on what they call that section at any particular mall.
4. Political Involvement: The Sex Pistols were known to get thrown in jail for their showy and ballsy political statements. You came from the suburbs, however, and are too soft to share a room with a guy named Bruno. Your involvement, then, is to start a webpage for your band, quote Orwell when it suits your goals, and strive for an Utopia which vaguely resembles the setting of Animal Farm. Apearances at demonstrations should be limited to anonymous showings, when more than ten thousand people are involved, and when you know a coffee store to hide at when the fuzz shows up. Write about it later on your webpage, being sure to leave out any hiding.
5. Tattoos. Just because you're too big a wimp to go to jail doesn't mean you have to look like one. Barcodes are nice, but Tribals are too gothic. Try to keep to black ink, however, and shove them so close together so that no one can tell what they are. This will keep an air of mystery about you.

New D&D3.5 System Reference Documents

Yes, the new rules. They're not as nice as books, but good for a preview. They also have the new class information, which was 90% of what I needed to know. I may still get the books some day, but not for at least around a month. 3.0 was just fine for me.

I like the new Paladin and Rangers. I haven't looked much at the other classes (Monk, Bard) which I hear also got worked over. The Monk's ki strike does seem a little better, though. And the Ranger? Comedy gold. You get a choice between two weapon fighting or rapid shot, but it doesn't come until level 2. Ha !!

Behold

No new music since yesterday morning, but I have just about 2 minutes of the first song finished. And all lyrics written. This is going to do things in an unorthodx way, but hopefully sound good. I think the bassline is a little too loud, though...
