Talks about the joke that is the recording industry. This particular bit cracked me up:

When is Closure coming out on DVD?
Never!
What?!
You can ask Universal, because they’re idiots, and they’re afraid to put it out.
People are dying for that.
Yes, but … there is a silver lining.
I’m listening.
A couple of years ago around this time of year, somebody must have broken into my personal files and uploaded onto a torrent site the entire DVD of Closure.
Oh darn.
Yeah, I don’t know who could have done that.

Produced by Ben Folds, Shatner’s spoken-word poetry is the beat to which a plethora of guest musicians dance. Well, maybe there were dancing. I think the music was the primary goal.

    So, pick up the album. I bought a couple tracks off iTunes (“Common People” and “I Can’t Get Behind That”, guests Joe Jackson and Henry Rollins respectively) and ended up shelling for the whole CD. Liner notes make for an interesting read as well.

    Oh, and if you enjoy the Shatnerian whimsy I recommend adding Boston Legal to your Tivo. His character, Denny Crane, is just one of the many interesting characters that make up the ensemble.

    Picked up ??Echoes?? last night after hearing some tracks on XM and iTMS. The tracks range across a variety of genres, blending some dance/techno beats, funk, and 60’s-style Brit-rock (the Kinks come to mind.) I recommend it. Some very catchy tunes.

So far I’m a big fan of Fred (XM 44) and Ethel (XM 47) but I’ve only just begun my journey through auditory bliss. Next step? The car adapter for my Delphi SkyFi receiver.

    Oh, and I’m also testing the nested categories feature of the new WordPress.
