Friday in a food coma

I just returned from a a delightful pulled pork social and going away party for Richard from Absolutely Kosher (I'm sure the irony is not lost on them). At one point Cory Brown is lecturing the youngin's about ye good old SF days of PEE, VSS, A Minor Forest, Track Star, et al. Dawns on me that this is all over ten years ago and no one else in the room cares to process such nostalgia. I am chastened by the indifference of youth.
The two links that I wanted to point out today are perhaps unrelated, but in my carb-induced daze, I am sort of blown away by this pre-Edison sound recording that is being presented down at Stanford for the Association for Recorded Sound Collections conference. Makes me wonder if the cryogenics people were not at least half not-wrong in their thinking.
The other bizarre news of the day is the Mexican emo riots. Or are they technically "anti-emo riots"? Sort of like the way Zoot Suit riot got turned from an incident of white soldiers beating up Chicano kids to a terrible, terrible song by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies.
