Tags!

I got tags working again for my blog. I found a different greasemonkey user script with similar functionality here. It actually has some features the previous one I was using didn't. For instance, with this one, there's no need to go in and edit the script to link to your del.icio.us account, there will be a popup prompt the first time you make a new post it to add your account. Plus it works, which is always good.

Can't Afford Tickets to London?

Not to worry. Os Mutantes are coming to the US for the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago on July 30. I will be there. You'd better be as well.

Os Mutantes were one of the front-runners of the Tropicalia movement in Brazil. It fused anglo rock culture with various aspects of Brazilian culture, and a good healthy distrust for authority and the status quo. Os Mutantes' first show together since the 70's will be in May in London, followed up by just a few other shows. Unfortunately, Rita Lee, their original lead singer with a heavenly voice will not be with them, but they kept on going for a while without her originally and still sounded damn good, so this is still something you don't wanna pass up. Trust me.

P.S. Help! My tagging procedure is broken! I had to do them all by hand. The greasemonkey script I've been using to add them automatic-like doesn't seem to be working. Anyone out there know the script I'm talking about and why this is happening?
