So, I’m very happy this week, because I discovered that one of my favorite bands released a new album. Actually, they released in my May, but I was asleep at the switch again.

Travis, a Scottish band, released The Boy with No Name on May 4th – I just got it, so let’s pretend it is brand new. These guys precede Coldplay, Keane or Snow Patrol, and you can tell that those bands got a little influence from Travis, who were in turn influenced by Radiohead.

So they rock, basically.

I also picked up UB40’s greatest hits, which was released in 2000, on a whim. They rock, too. Who would’ve thought a white and black reggae band from Birmingham would be one of the genres best-selling bands? I would, considering they ride the mainstream bandwagon. But they still rock, so shut up.

Here’s what it’s like to go chasing corporations for money they owe you: imagine being Androcles in the tale of the Lion, yet instead of the Lion thanking Androcles for pulling the thorn from his claw, he turns and bites the ass out of him.

Welcome to my world. Coincidence that I am greek, as well?

Also, please watch the website a a pack of idiots: this is my production company, and we are gearing up to shoot a short in the next 2 weeks, so we are very excited. How excited are we? Our nipples have shot off.
