Ha ha yeah well graffitti is just another form of advertising and advertising rears its ugly head wherever it can. Soon you'll have ads encoded into your dreams and DNA. Wherever information, and thus attention, exists, advertising will be right alongside it, polluting the idea-space and pestering us to buy junk we don't need.

This particular ad shown above is a perfect example. It's autumn and you're walking by some stagnant pond, and there on the sidewalk is another ad mollusk. This time, it's from some enterprise named John, and it's trying to make us think that people named John are better than everybody else.

Down with advertising. Up with peer-to-peer recommendation systems.

Str8 Sounds has a few new songs up on MySpace Music and Last.fm

Please do whatever you can to protect your ears, mind, and memory from these extremely annoying and unrefreshing tunes. You can go to any record shop, or iTunes store, and get much nicer and more ordinary, less confusing, songs than these rotten pathetic attempts to entertain.



For example...

"snails from south of here"
