“Anyone who dug on front man Oliver Ackermann’s old band, Skywave, will find a slightly Goth-ier extension of the same merciless noise-pop vision. I haven’t been this worked up about a band in months.” (tags: aptbs)

The Devil Has The Best Tuna: A Place To Bury Strangers & Sproll
“Listening to APTBS is like dipping your head in a box of fireworks after throwing in a lighted match (for the more impressionable readers this is a metaphor and the Devil does not recommend that you try this as it is dangerous !).” (tags: aptbs)

      Cut down on Junk Mail – decline catalogs

      Here is a site that promises to give you a way to decrease the number of catalogs sent to you through the U.S. Mail. I’ve tried it, now we’ll see if it works. I suspect the results won’t be noticeable for a few months, as it takes that long to get a stop sending order through the catalog production/mailing pipeline.

      • Catalog Choice
        “Catalog Choice is a free service that allows you to decide what gets in your mailbox. Use it to reduce your mailbox clutter, while helping save natural resources.” — seems like a good idea. (tags: business green catalog)
