REVENGE OF THE POSTER CHILDREN

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Poster Children ever since they lost an MTV battle of the bands to Live, that was a long time ago folks. On their new album, No More Songs About Sleep & Fire, they have returned to the past, their past, and its good! More Songs...Came out today and finds the band blending sounds from 1991's Flower Power , 1993's Tool of the man, and 95's Junior Citizen, to welcoming ears. This is one of those bands that has been around before, during and after the hay day of the indie boom and they are still standing thanks to their great song writing; It manages to sound fresh while blending the older elements of their song writing. If smart, angsty lyrics, angular guitars and driving disco/new wave beats are your thing, than this is for you. If you don't like the aforementioned description, you should still give the disc a listen. You never know when a new fan might pop up!

RFID FREAKS THE HELL OUT OF ME!

Man, I sincerely hope that Radio Frequency Identification, does not become a standard among retailers. This article outlines it pretty well. Scary stuff. An Orwellian future comes another step closer as some manufacturers have ordered these little computer chips that would enable people with the right equipment to know exactly what your doing, what you own and more. The technology is cheap and you can bet it will cheapen up if more manufactures by into the idea.
