...anticipation for Kid A is so fierce that every track was leaked to Napster weeks before the album's release. Says Yorke: "The cool thing about Napster is that it encourages bootlegging, it encourages enthusiasm for music in a way that the music industry has long forgotten...
...fixed on the top prize in the Mayflower Dog Show. You wouldn't call them a statistically accurate cross section of American life. How many of us, after all, are literally born with two left feet, as is co-writer Eugene Levy's character, co-owner of a cool little Norwich terrier? Few of us want to win anything as badly as does Parker Posey and Michael Hitchcock's yuppie couple who have reduced their Weimaraner to a state of clinical depression.

Crimson Arts is starting to heat up just as the weather is about to cool down. Look for some spectacular interviews in the next couple of weeks... Uggh. Can either Bush or Gore pleeeeaassseee do something scandalous? This whole campaign has been a journalist's worst nightmare. Where's the fireworks? Warren Beatty totally should have run.

I've realized that at the moment, 4,400 bus and rail operators are going without pay and 450,000 weekday public transportation users are struggling to get to work. So now I'm thinking that striking isn't actually cool at all - not even in Los Angeles, where follow-the-leader is everyone's favorite party game. So even though the writers are blaming directors for their contractual shortcomings and the MTA is implying in radio ads that the transportation workers are greedy, I will not point a finger...
