The Telligent crew back ported the Blog File Drop feature slated for CS 3.0 into 2.1. What it means is that I can upload more than one picture per post via the MetaWeblogAPI. This is fantastic news. It simply means I no longer have to futz around with the Photo Gallery should I need more than one picture in a post. This is also the first post I am doing with Windows Live Writer, which is really nice.

Thunderbird 1.5.0.8
Mozilla almost sneaked this one past me, I was made aware of it only when my installation of Thunderbird prompted for me to install the update. Release notes are pretty skimpy.
- Improvements to product stability.
- Several security fixes.
The Rumbling Edge has the gory details as usual.

Faith No More – Just A Man
“Man was born to love –
Though often he has sought
Like Icarus, to fly too high.
And far too lonely than he ought
To kiss the sum of east and west
And hold the world at his behest –To hold the terrible power
To whom only gods are blessed –
But me, I am just a man”
A great performance of one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite albums by one of my favourite bands: Just A Man, Phoenix Festival 20-7-1997.

Fred Durst, Wes Scantlin and Jimmy Page – Thank You
A performance of Thank You at the MTV European Music Awards, 2001. Fred Durst was so bad he made Jimmy sound mediocre. Think about that for a moment, he made Jimmy Page, guitar god, sound mediocre. I laughed at the little “you and me” gesture he did because it was so…laughable.
Fred Durst & Wes Scantlin & Jimmy Page - Thank You (2001)
A mini open letter to Fred Durst:
Fred, please leave classic rock alone. You do not have the pipes to carry those songs off. Singing Thank You in a monotone does not make it a reinterpretation.
Johnny Cash – I Walk The Line
This is a home video of Johnny Cash’s last public performance. You could tell he was troubled physically, but the humour and the authority, he still got it.

Chinese Democracy
Looks like the album might be released before actual democracy in China, after almost a full decade of work. Probably too much to ask the album to live up to ten years of hype and anticipation, I, for one, will be trying to keep an open mind, and hope it is at least good, and please please please not overproduced, though sadly it will probably be closer to Use Your Illusion II than I.
On a side note, I see that Clay Aiken has a new album out titled A Thousand Different Ways made up of covers of “classic” love songs. Sure, there are a thousand different paths to blandness…
David Gilmour – Blue Light
You might consider Dave a titan among men like I do, but pro-Syd and pro-Roger fans can always say they never did anything like the video “Blue Light”.

AC/DC – Sin City
AC/DC have got an unfair bad rep. Sure they have hardly evolved since the first album, but they are the best at what they do.
I am an especially big fan of the Bon Scott era. This video of Sin City performed in Paris has got everything, leering whiskey poet Bon Scott, crazy duck-walking Angus Young and the bloody tightest rhythm section in rock and roll.
Side note: Angus Young uttered one of the best ever quotes in music. On being told his band was accused of making the same album over and over, 12 times to be exact: “That’s a dirty lie!” Angus blurts, “The truth is that we’ve made the same album over and over 14 times!”
Rick Miller – Bohemian Rhapsody
Basically, one guy singing Bohemian Rhapsody with 25 different voices. Amazing, hilarious too. His Steven Tyler and Mick Jagger are particularly impressive, but that shirt has got to go.
