songs and witty sayings

i don't know if it is just me, but it seems like the standard way an expert is supposed to describe this current financial crisis is with loads of cliches and silly sayings.

here are a few that have wiggled themselves in...mostly just on monday and tuesday!

- if these chickens come home to roost...
- saw the writing on the wall
- step up to the plate
- looking for the next problem child
- when the ship goes down it doesn't matter if you are in the state room or the steerage
- hold the line
- it is hard to be an optimist when it is raining everyday
- waiting for another shoe to drop
- in a race against time
- the cavalry has arrived
- take a pound of flesh
- practice what you preach
- take it on the chin
- with a blind eye and a deaf ear
- go to hell in a hand basket
- throw the baby out with the bath water

and finally a non silly saying that seems pretty thought provoking:

michael greenberger - "We privatize profits and socialize losses."

The Roy Spinto Mask Competish: PART II

Yes, the original maverick mask contest has returned...But this time it's bigger and badder than ever before. The grand prize? An iPod, the complete Park The Van catalog (including Moonwink), two tickets to any Spinto Band show, and a T-Shirt. If you don't know what the Spinto Band mask competition is, or if you're ready to start working on your photograph, please direct yourself to www.spintoband.com and click on the center phase of the moon. There you'll find all of the contest details, instructions, and a stupid video (surprise).

tale of metropolitan no-goodness

Oh Goodness Gracious. Good luck getting to sleep after you hear this little bit of bookery recorded a few months back in Rock Island. It is downright haunting and hypnotizing and hell-bent on being heard.

Did you mean: "summer GROVE"?

That's what www.google.com will tell you if you search the terms "Summer Grof". Today is the day where we change that.

For today, September 2nd, is the day when the first official release of music from Moonwink occurs. The single is "Summer Grof", a vague tribute to the great comedienne Janeane Garofalo. The digital single is available on iTunes and has a digital b-side to boot. No one's looking for a summer grove. Make your voice heard before we have to get in touch with the people at Google.
