Green Green - Swimsuit Drugs 7-inch pre-order

The test pressings arrived a couple weeks back. They have been inspected, played, and okay'd. We are hoping to receive the records by the end of April.

There is a pre-order up on Out of Order Records so go there if you want a copy as soon they arrive. We have already printed and cut out about half the sleeves and will complete the rest soon. Each 7-inch comes with a button also being made in home. This is quite literally a DIY release!

To hear some noise go GGreen. One song from the 7-inch is up along with 3 other fine tracks.

While still in the works, but mostly worked out, my first 7-inch that is a split label release with Out of Order records will be coming out later this year. Hopefully by the spring. I may use this site for more label information later, but for now go to myspace.com/orangeregret.

Dis shit hurt my butt...

First things first, the KDVS fundraiser is over and enough donations were made to keep this free-form radio station on the air. Thank you to everyone who donated (yeah, I threw down my cash, fo'sho).

Second: Degrassi: Still watching: it. Anticipation to receive the next disc in the mail? Yes. My mornings have a sprinkle of Degrassi now as they are shown at 8:30am on a local station so I get to see episodes recently watched, but I still feel like checking in on them like a lazy babysitter keeping an eye on the kids while going for another ice cream bar. I have to go to work soon after it starts anyway. There are also moments that find me processing a scene, character, or episode and I turn to my mate to share my feelings of disapproval, disappointment, or confusion. Television should not occupy this much of my mind. I give in willingly though.

Star Trek has not been much of interest to me, half watching the Picard ones while in daycare and later trying to watch the older episodes because my brother told me each episode was Capitan Kirk scoring with some alien lady. At first this sounds like an interesting premise, but trying to sit through a single episode didn't work out. I like the movies.

The star trek series I didn't give a chance was Deep Space Nine (DS9). Sounds lame for a title and from what I hear about it, even reading stuff by uber fans, I believe to have made the correct decision. When I was in der boy scouts I remember a moment when the child of an adult leader mentioned to his father, who was also an adult leader, that some troop meeting the dad had to go to would be over in time to get home and watch Deep Space Nine. I thought, 'who has to rush home to watch Deep Space Nine,' while the commercial from the local tv station played in my head. I looked over at the adult leader while thinking this and I think he understood I thought him lame. There was some feeling that he may try to shake this off as no big thing; "Deep Space Nine...yeah, I'll watch it...maybe." But secretly he was glad to know DS9 would be waiting for him in his favorite spot on the couch, the remote still warm from his wife watching the news only moments prior.

Shit, nearly all of us are enraptured by some television show. I'm glad for summer's approach because Thursday's will allow a break in the 2 hours that lead up to bedtime being spent on my ass (3 if I fail to pull away from ER...I like to go to bed happy). The strain of making plans on a Thursday will be temporarily relieved. Sunday's used to be this way and are likely the sole reason I can work a vcr. Documenting the Simpson's was a need that has alloted a collection of unmarked tapes and on one occasion had me nervously call my parents, while staying the night at a cousin's house, to ask if they would tape the evening's episode for me (I had forgotten to set a tape earlier!!!!). It's difficult not sounding suspicious on the phone because embarrassment lead to me shyly trying to sound confident with quietness while admitting I had a problem and may develop an ulcer if I didn't get this episode on tape. That's pretty loaded for a 10 year old (or however old I was then, maybe it was 12).

Television is a dangerous beast. I like it.

Taking a break from the Degrassi talk to inform about this fine radio station:



Free form radio has not sounded better than that which is supported by the listeners.

We have continued recieving Degrassi: TNG via netflix and somehow it has become more tolerable. I haven't taken that cold shower yet and I still have my complaints about TNG, definately not Degrassi Jr. High material.

Complaints: intro. song=LAME. Thank you to skip function on DVDs. A whole disc of extras: booooooring. I'll eat gummy bears on an empty stomach if I want to feel empty. Season 1 discs having no 'play all' function!?! They must be from the early days of DVDs. Do you understand that I do not want to pick through each episode? More ass time is delivered through a "play all" function! Otherwise I get up and walk around, forgetting what I was doing and maybe go outside. Either you work with my short attention span or you lose it.

Non-complaints: not as annoying anymore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A zine is in the planning stages between the roomate and I developing from a morning conversation that related how I get up in the morning to Uncle Joe in Willy Wanka, the 70s one, and his getting up and dancing after being bed-bound for years.
Stage one: read the book and rent the movie.

Cold Shower

This weekend involved watching the first disc, season one, of Degrassi: The Next Generation. I cannot decide whether it is as bad as expected or worse, but I'm leaning toward worse. Sort of when you think of a really gross picture after your friend goes "ewww, gross," and refuses to let you see the picture they came across on the internet, but then finally lets you see it and you know it would have been better to not see the picture. Seeing a small selection of the cast from the original series is the only worthwhile part and only for nostalgic reasons. If the new show focused on these characters, or better the larger Degrassi Jr. High and High cast, as adults then I'd be more willing to watch TNG. However, the old cast is only there to pull you into watching the new series which offer multiple characters with little redeeming qualities. So far I am annoyed and find myself staring at the record collection sitting next to the television set because it holds more appeal. Maybe part of the problem is how the new series thinly rehash the stories from the previous series, distributed among more characters and a strong reminder that being in Jr. High right now would be super lame.

When the next generation series aired I had graduated high school, so watching the newer Degrassi is a reminder of this time that is not the fondest of memory. Given now it's seven years past the airing and my public schooling exit, but I still remember that stuff and it was booooring. If this show is a reflection of our society, although from a Canadian perspective, then people have become more annoying and adulthood means getting pudgier while maintaining the same haircut (give or take a beard) -- Mr. Radich. Unlike the original series and my childhood when the original series was aired I do not look forward to the future that includes watching more of this series. Having read through some online synopsis of future episodes of Degrassi: TNG there is some enticement to venture onward, but when thinking about what I have watched already then I can only foresee a future of mega problems of the super annoying. The characters from the original series had their problems, but they sat lower on the annoying factor and those characters that were super annoying were given air time only to prove a point, although a screwed up one usually, and then they were ushered to the side and background so you didn't forget them to keep your kick/punch combo ready like a gag reflex. Tossing cookies of pain!

Not to be wholly negative there is some redemption to be had for Digrassi: TNG, and that is to watch The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Filling a wondrous period that was my childhood and not knowing about Degrassi Jr. High, probably for the better considering my fragile state, I was hooked into watching Nickleodeon. This time was vital for developing my sense of humor which to this day remains intact while willing to explore to the further reaches of pipe. Do you see that, that is Pete & Pete and wouldn't you know it but if I had been watching television that was to help me grow up I'd be trying to call people 'broom heads,' thinking about sweeping simultaneously no doubt. Anytime I thought it was a good idea to begin acting older I was wrong. Pete and Pete didn't involve false hope but was able to slip in that it's okay to like girls and to the close listener you were given hints on good indie bands to check out.

I'd say more, but I am tired and my mustache is glistening in places that should not be glistening so I will simply recommend a viewing of The Adventures of Pete & Pete by saying the following item: Bus driver Stu.
