Hey, poppets. Childrenzzz. Mud-soaked honeylovelies--whatever you want to imagine I'm addressing you as is your own business.

Faithful (or particularly observant) readers of this weblog will notice that it has not been updated much (i.e., "at all") recently. This is because Kate's computer recently decided to "pass on." As I write this from a borrowed laptop, I can't help but shed a few tears in memory of my old friend. Oh, sure. I hit her around. She ate my compositions. We both did a few things to each other that I'm sure she now regrets as she sits in pieces on my bedroom floor. But it was a good run, blahblahblahsentimentalcakes. The point is, Bebop Golems has, sadly, fallen by the wayside in the wake of this tragedy.

Not to mention that Trish is only one girl, despite the many medical documents that state otherwise. We admit that it is POSSIBLE that PERHAPS we could use a few people to alleviate the pressure in such times of crisis. If you feel that you are a capable candidate who would contribute to our continuously convalescing internet sensation, email us at arcade fireballs@aol.com with your name, qualifications, hobbies, top five favorite whatevers, bribes, etc. The winner/most qualified applicant/person with the best bribes will update whenever they feel they need to. Or when we ask them to. The end.

Now that I've managed to bring the tone of the entry down elevenfold, I'll pull out today's mp3's.

On Thursday night, in order to push the sight of my gutted CPU out of my mind, I went to see the movie "Thumbsucker," starring Luscious Lou Taylor Pucci, Vincent D'osomething from one of the Law & Order spin-offs, Keanu Reeves, Vince Vaughn (as a pop-psych dentist and so-obviously-gay debate teacher, respectively), among others. It's the story of seventeen year old boy who sucks his thumb, to the chagrin of his father. Blahblahblah, teenangst, blahblahblah, sexual experimentation, blahblahblah, personal growth, jealousy, suspicion, drama. Despite all the ways it could have sucked, it was actually a good movie. With a good soundtrack! What are the odds that this could happen!?

Though Tim DeLaughter (you probably know him as "That Guy From The Polyphonic Spree") was in charge of most of the score, Elliott Smith (who was involved in the early stages of the screen adaption of Walter Kirn's novel of the same name, before his untimely demise) managed to sneak some songs on the soundtrack as well, such as Let's Get Lost, which appeared first on his CD "From A Basement On A Hill."

The Polyphonic Spree slapped together some "pretty wicked awesome" music for Thumbsucker, but just because I feel like it, I'll end this post with a song from their CD, "Together, We're Heavy" called Section 12 (Hold Me Now).

Did you learn something today? Probably not.
But we had fun, didn't we?
