Elephants to replace dolphins as our greatest adversary.

Dolphin’s might have developed opposable thumbs, but Asian elephants apparently know how to count.  I don’t know about you, but pachyderm that’s able to count seems like a major threat to me.  First it’s apples in a bucket.  Next thing you know they’re plugging missile codes into W.O.P.R. to kick off WWIII.

I say give them whatever they want right now… more peanuts, fine.  Tickets to “Rent” before it leaves Broadway – you’ve got it.  Well, probably not Mezzanine, but still.  And for God’s sake man, put away your ivory pen – we want them on our side.

Let’s get this out of the way…

Prison - Steven Jesse Bernstein

Yes the phrase “More Noise Please” was inspired by the song of the same name on Steven Jesse Bernstein’s brilliant CD Prison.  If you haven’t heard the song or the CD, get yourself a copy – well worth the $10 if only for the sheer weirdness of it all.  Basically spoken word poetry set to music by another Seattle resident Steve Fisk (from Pell Mell among others) Prison is a blast.  I stumbled across SJB on the Seattle compilation Sub Pop 200 and myself and my friends became entranced.  This was back before the days of FREE Internet my friends – so we ordered the CD by sending a check through the mail.  Crazy.  I still have some of the Sub Pop coupons I collected somewhere in the closet.

So yeah, Prison, get it.  And I guess this is what this blog will be about in general – stuff I got that you should get or perhaps steer clear from.  In general… noise.
