Play games with me because W0rmSiGn is Big In Japan


I'm going to be appearing as one of the "critics" in a new game at ThePhorum.net called "Second Guess the Critic". Honestly, I don't think anyone actually thinks of me as a "critic", and I've been known to overreact on occasion on that message board, so it will probably be as goofy as all heck - nonetheless, it will be fun, it involves me, and it involves music. Sign up and play, it'll be fun, and besides, you might actually see a music recommendation from somebody credible. I'll be holding my opinion on the new Jars of Clay release until round 1 is over.
OK, so this time around, the title isn't a download. I'm experimenting with a new, simpler format that doesn't run the risk of people accidentally downloading a song when they just want to see comments. Let me know if you like it better this way, or the other way, or if you have any other suggestions.
I want to plug the new W0rmSiGn album. I've listened to it twice and not actually decided if I like it or not. The DanceChapel says "Greg Young of Virus fame is continuing to make music under the name Wormsign, and his latest release is an album called "Big In Japan" which is very experimental and definitely falls into the IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) catagory. It's deep thinking music, it's very moving, and best of all the entire album is available as free downloads"! I'm not completely sold on that, but it sticks out as an interesting album like nothing I've ever heard before. I'll probably use this on round 2 of the game above. Did I mention the entire album is free? That's the best reason to check it out - it's free music. If you hate it, you've only lost your time. You can download the entire thing in mp3 format at http://www.virusworldindustries.com/biginjapan.html or by clicking here.
There is a chance that I will be seeing Low, Pedro the Lion, and Trampled by Turtles tomorrow night. Nothing's set in stone, and I don't even know if I can go or not, but I'll let you know how that goes.
