so tired...

what a long day its been.

I woke earlier than I wanted to, and since I rolled out of bed on the wrong side I decided to complain about EBM again. It was either that or complain about my landlord mowing grass next to my window early in the mornings but that didn't seem as fun.

anyway, after *that* got boring I began working on blu_muse's site again, picking up where I left off late last night. I coded most of the afternoon, taking a break between 6 and 10 to work with upas on recording scratch tracks for Tears for the Dying tunes. Then I went back to work on the site, till 12:30 or so. I *think* I'm nearing the point where I can begin working on the stuff people actually see, instead of all of the boring back-end programming which nobody sees. I hope everything works out, I know how much time she's spent hand-coding that site..

tomorrow i go back to work, but in no way am I looking forward to this. I never do, especially after a long weekend.

ok let me see what everyone is up to, then i'm off to bed.

Who killed Mr. Moonlight?

I've occasionally mused about reasons why our scene (and many others) has faded so much in the last couple years, and something that keeps coming back to me (in addition to lack of good music being played), is the affect of the internet on club attendanace.

Kids growing up today are raised on internet entertainment, instead of having to create and contribute to social entertainment.. aka going out!

aquaknot wrote something interesting yesterday:

"Actually, livejournal and friendster blogs generally kicked the scene twice. First, people could catch up with their friends without going to clubs, and second, many stopped reading the main listservs to find out what was going on. I noticed a real drop in attendance as livejournal caught on, though things were in decline already."

Interesting, huh?

Broadband probably quadrupled the problem.
