Prop. 8 - We Support Gay Marriage - Boycott Manchester Grand Hyatt and Grand Del Mar
The UT reports that gay rights groups and their union allies are targeting the Manchester Grand Hyatt and the Grand Del Mar because the hotels' owner, Doug Manchester, gave $125,000 to Proposition 8, a November ballot measure that would ban same-sex marriage in California.

It's the economy stupid

We Support Aguirre
The Union Trib. reported that a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former city employee against San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre has been dropped. Lepine agreed to drop the lawsuit and will receive no money from the city. A settlement agreement between Lepine and city states that each side will pay for their own legal fees and the city is prohibited from suing Lepine for malicious prosecution

The Union Trib. reported that the San Diego County Democratic Central Committee endorsed City Attorney Mike Aguirre for re-election Tuesday night.

Lame Democrats still giving in to a lame duck president.

High Mountain Tempel - The Glass Bead Game on Lotushouse
MP3 - The Ascended Master Moves On (Hang Gliding in Heaven)

From Fred Laird of Earthling Society on the Head Heritage forums about The Glass Bead Game:
I was handed a copy of this album by Mr Boyd, himself a member of HMT along with Eric Nielsen.

Together they have made a superb album of unsettling noise which seems to seethe with the very heat of Death Valley

Not many people can make droned out landscapes as interesting as this pair, the album had me in it's grip for the whole duration.

I dont know if it's because i'm reading the Shadow over Santa Susana (Thanks for the rec Mr. Jim Tones) but there is something decidedly Mansonoid about the whole album....a pure motherfucking desert death trip......

You can get it here along with some other fabulous music http://www.lotushouserecords.com/

    Album Leaf, Maquiladora and Adam Gnade
    at the Casbah in SD CA, 11.11.05

    Jimmy and The Album Leaf had a nice thing going over two shows at the Casbah and the Knitting Factory. They were very tight and the crowd was very appreciative both nights. Travelling as a four piece they came out for a 3 or 4 song encore both nights. All of the songs were synched up to videos and tape loops. There was some very sweet violin with delay, a couple of guitars, about 10 keyboards and a minimal spattering of vocals. The San Diego show was sold out and the crowd was calling out requests as people stayed out late to hear it all. The multiple keyboard work combined with the tape loop/heavy drum thing is one of the nicer staples of San Diego music now.

    The synth sweeps triggered by 3 or 4 keyboards at once are lush and sweet with leads on the piano/rhodes/microkorg/alesis/moog and violin. These are the sounds tv pays for. Check out the newest at Sub Pop. It's great to see these excellent musicians playing live. You should check it out.

    Rounding out the night was Maquiladora in support of their new record on Darla Records "A House All On Fire" and Adam Gnade.
