I don’t recall if I’ve mentioned EMusic before. It’s the best and coolest deal in music downloads; you pay around 10 bucks a month and you can download all the MP3s you want. While you won’t get the latest releases, you will get a huge indie catalog and a pretty significant chunk of major label backlist. I’ve really enjoyed having a subscription. This site is going to make me enjoy it even more. It’s mix tapes made up of songs you can get on EMusic. Since I can just download the songs, and they include links to make that simple, it’s an easy and convenient way to share mix tapes. Cool.

Sorry about the playoff race banner. I’m a Red Sox fan, and the information is of some importance to me, you see. Take heart: as soon as the Sox flop I’ll remove it.

It just goes on and on. Someone’s who’s actually seen Underworld posted a summary of the movie. Compare it to a summary of the short story (original) upon which, in large part, White Wolf’s complaint rests. I’m far too much of a junkie for this stuff; if it goes to court I want to go watch the trial.

Warren, you’ll be missed (original). He saw that James Bond film, he saw his last album hit the shelves, and he saw his grandchildren born. I guess it was time. Shadows are falling and I’m running out of breath Keep me in your heart for a while

Finally, the last of Dear Brother #10 brings us back to Reese Beulay. The focus of the entire session was providing a finale for Danny Greer, whose player was about to move out of town. Brilliant work on Rob’s part, if you ask me. This entry is my favorite Dear Brother yet.

Chase R. Foxe was my PC in the Silver Age Knights of the Road. He’s a personamancer, meaning he does magic involving masks. His particular obsession is writing down the truth as seen by his subjects — gonzo journalism gone magical, in other words.

Mordecai was my PC for the Doc Lully’s Pulp Heros segment of this session. He was half-human, half-something else, a subject of great angst for him. Of course, he had a noble heart, despite his self-doubts.

The next three Dear Brothers are all writeups from one session. Only one of them is by Reese. Rob did the session in three parts. The first was a sideways trip to a pulp world in which we played Doc Lully’s Pulp Heros and explored the Hollow Earth; the second was a flashback to 1968, during which we played the Silver Age Knights of the Road, kin to the Merry Pranksters (original). The final segment was our usual characters, albeit in a situation they didn’t remember after the fact. ...

Clayton Cramer has more comments on Amazon; in fact, he posted my email to him (original) (which is fine by me). I emailed him back, and since I don’t know if he’ll post it, I’ll summarize here. I think it’s ludicrous to claim that nobody takes Mein Kampf and The Protocols of Zion seriously. (Let alone The Turner Diaries.) It’s not too complicated. Buford Furrow. Michael Ryan (original). Eric Rudolph. Cramer has a bit of a persecution complex, which is no surprise to anyone who remembers his Usenet days.

White Wolf is suing Sony Pictures over Underworld. Just thought you’d like to know. Anyone read the Nancy Collins story involved?
