Kevin Smith 'Too Fat' to Fly Southwest

jhnmyr:

I’ve been thinking of a way to say thank you for making Battle Studies such a huge success out of the gate… I’ve also been thinking of a way to use tumblr as a means of posting some more substantial stuff… So here’s a very raw, live solo version of “Edge of Desire” I just recorded in my apartment as a way to show my gratitude to you all for extending my time in this amazing career you’ve helped me build.

I think if you were kind enough to spent the 13 bucks, you should get some free music for the next good while.

So here it is. A song about late night longing recorded at 3am. iPhone dinging in the background and all…(that’s how I knew the take was going to be worth sticking with, as the best takes always get interrupted.)

Thank you.

More to come…

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:56:32 -0700

Advocacy groups say AT&T has gone too far in its lobbying efforts to oppose the Federal Communications Commission’s new proposed Net neutrality regulations.

This week AT&T’s top lobbyist Jim Cicconi sent a memo to managers urging them to encourage their families and friends “to join the voices telling the FCC not to regulate the Internet.”
