This is like something out of Lovecraft:
A particularly prolific forum that deals with Urban and Underground exploration carried a post from a new member giving details from a book in their possession. The book contained a description of a glass ballroom constructed by a Victorian Millionaire, quite special in itself no doubt, but this particular ballroom supposedly resides at the bottom of a lake on the Millionaire’s former estate. The author goes on to describe a visit he took to the ballroom and how it is reached through fantastic underground tunnels, cavernous rooms and waterways. It seemed perhaps a little exaggerated to say the least, but as more and more information was posted it seemed increasingly likely that it actually did exist.
Not only did it exist, but there are photographs, and a map.

Remember the AACS business last week, where they are threatening anyone who mentions a certain big number with prison. Well, you too can own an integer! That’s right, under the auspices of the well-thought-out DMCA, you too can sue anyone who mentions your number, and just imagine - if every number becomes owned by someone we could end in a world without numbers! Utopia! The DMCA will have finally achieved it’s aims.

Google kindly informed me that a new Doug Winter has emerged onto the Internet in salt lake city:
THE WINTER BLANKET
The Winter Blanket are established enough to wax poetic with a full-length album. Instead of getting drunk on their signature sound, however, the Minneapolis, Minn., duo cut a short-and-sweet EP that lives up to the widely touted, rarely executed All Killer, No Filler rock credo. To wit, Golden Sun doesn’t so much rock as it does tremble with smoldering, shoegazer jams full of fuzz guitars and hazy harmonies courtesy of Doug Winter and Stephanie Davila (think Hope Sandoval on a good day). Mellow but not numb, the brief collection of bittersweet songs envelopes like a … well, you can see where this is going.
The Winter Blanket? Sheeesh.
