Children of the corn:

It has been an action-packed couple of weeks, people, and we're NOT just referring to the War on Terrorism (®). There was the Omnilab show with The Nighties (BOOYAH!) and Slips w/ Scissors (BOOYAH!); there was the show at fair Luna Lounge (BOOYAH!); there was the theatric release of Tears of the Sun (Argh!) and An Afternoon with Steve Martin (Gyaah!); there was the discovery by Keith and Chris that now available on DVD is a film called Dog Soldiers, in which a squad of Army rangers plunge deep into the Washington wilderness for a weekend of war games then discover two other ranger units WHO HAVE BEEN SLAUGHTERED BY A PACK OF WEREWOLVES (the eponymous "Dog Soldiers"). The rangers spend the weekend engaged in a battle FAR DEADLIER than they were expecting. So yeah, we saw that DVD at Kim's in the village, and we really wanted it, but it was $16.95, and between the two of us Keith and I only had a couple hun, and we'd be damned if we were going to pay $16.95 for Dog Soldiers. We swim now each of us in a river of regret.

WAS has been spending a lot of time practicing and fine-tuning several songs in preparation for our April 1st /2nd recording session with MotherWest records, which will feature Mr. Paolo DeGregorio as the token italianate producer. Check out some of Paolo's stuff here. We're shooting for 5 or 6 songs on the e.p., and we're hoping to have copies available in May. A tracklist is forthcoming (Keith and Michael can't seem to settle their disagreement over whether to include our 'Hey Jealousy' cover or our 'Mr. Jones' cover; I'm asking for a whole Cat Power-style covers record with both of those plus 'O.P.P.', 'Round Midnight', and Kenny Loggins's 'Danger Zone').

In our continuing effort to make this webpage more than just a place to read witty, challenging criticism of the latest political fad or Dog Soldiers, we've done some research and come up with a generous handful of domain names that have not yet been registered, but should be, by you, if what you really want to do is make a living through this magical Intronet:
