Vertigo: Then And Now

Vertigo…Then and Now

While I never made it all the way through Vertigo, this comparison between current San Fran and the shots from the movies is some wonderful comparative photography. I wish more people would do this with films.

IIDX Page Overhauled

Back to the “things only I care about” category, I just severly tweaked my IIDX Progress page. Changes include the addition of 5th Style NSC songs, grades calculated on the fly (since 5th Style doesn’t give you grades), more progress counting shtuff for me, and best of all, a description of the game so those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about can get at least a basic understanding.

IIDX players may also be interested in the stand alone grade counter I linked to from the progress page, which will quickly calculate a grade for you based on Ex score and total notes.

They Drive An Ice Cream Truck

Most people have never heard of 2K, Advanced Acoustic Armaments, Angels 1-5, Big In Japan, Black Smoke, Brilliant, Custered, Disco 2000, The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The JAMs, Kalevala, Lori & The Chamelions, Moody Boys, The One World Orchestra, The Scourge Of The Earth, Solid Gold Chartbusters, Space, The Forever Ancients Liberation Loophole, The Kopyright Liberation Front, The Timelords, or any of the other names Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty went by between the late 80’s and the early 90’s – but for some reason, most people have heard of The KLF. Most of the time, for the wrong reasons – an errant glimpse on a “Two Hit Wonders” show on MTVH1, or recollections of 3AM Eternal. Some people respond to the letters “KLF” with the thought “Tammy Wynette” and convulse.

Over 10 years after they forced the music industry to write them off, they still remain an unusual and interesting example of what two guys can do when they set out to absolutely fuck with the status quo.
