Modern Mysteries #1

Listening to: Black Sabbath - Wheels of Confusion

Mysteries I cannot fathom, people. Help needed. Firstly, Facebook and it's apparent world takeover.
Now, I myself do have a Facebook account, but in all honesty it's main function is to draw attention to my Myspace activities and play a little pretend-money Poker. Apart from that I find it to be the intensely annoying. The sheer volume of chain-emails, invitations from zombies/vampires/pirates and requests for hugs/kisses/teddy-bears/virtual drinks is nothing short of brutal. It also tells you each time you log-on what everybody in your Friends-List has been doing since last you looked. In quite overwhelming detail. Then invites you to take a look at all of it. It's also full of bugs which it's developers seem in no hurry to sort out.
One good aspect of Facebook however, is that it's forced Myspace to get it's act together somewhat.

EMI: The planet's (soon-to-be ex-) biggest record label, as I'm sure y'all know by now, has been taken over by private equity company Terra Firma with less then hilarious consequences for much of it's workforce and music-making roster.
Hip hop icon Robbie Williams, his head full of righteous rage, has issued an impassioned call-to-arms, and is apparently limo-ing his way over to EMI HQ as I type. MC Rob's back-up comes in the form of label-mates Coldplay, Agnostic Front, Sigur Ros, Susie Quatro, Bubba Sparxxx and the Treorchy Male Voice Choir, all intent on busting a few corporate heads.
How did it come to this pop-kids? EMI own the back-cats of The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, Queen, The Spice Girls and Add N to X for god's sake.
Stay tuned.
