Your Action Required

Hey kiddies — I know that I haven’t been the best about keeping ya’lls updated, but I’ve been too busy drinking from the bottle and watching the Anna Nicole Smith hearings. Enough about me… let’s pretend that this site isn’t a giant ode to my ego and instead for a moment that it’s about you, the lonely forgotten and blog reader. Your input into my site is crucial because we are at a crossroads. At one time we had us some pretty nice digs to hang with here — blogger was cool and new, ezarchive was content hosting some great music, I was excited to be writing about the united states and shooting my dirty musical wad on your collective faces. Ezarchive is worthless. Blogger is boring. New music mostly sucks. So those hallowed days are gone. Fly the flag at half mast, celebrate with some jazz and bury me out by the interstate. Then help me decide where we want to go. I like Trees Lounge. I like talking with you. I like writing about new music. Old Music. The United States. My dislike for cats. So I don’t want this to completely end. I want this to begin.
Going forward I am considering purchasing myself — ahem…. ourselves — a server. A shiny one with lots of fans and plenty of space for my mp3s to squeeze through a tube and then trickle into your ears. A domain. Wordpress. We’re talking about Terrabytes and gigaHURTZ, booya! Seeeexxxxxxxxxxxy. So here’s where your input comes in — domain names, site names, etc. I have a few different options:
Stay with the name Trees Lounge and get a Trees Lounge related domain:
trees-lounge.com (ok, but I hate dashes)
treeslounge.net (I equally hate .nets)
Stick with Trees Lounge and get a RELATED domain:
feelinglessandless.com (dig it, but it is awfully emo. Let’s not kid ourselves — it’s a music blog — it’s emo. It’s probably embarassing to refer to at the bar when others can hear me. Fawk.)
orderonemoreround.com (confusing? beautiful? insane?)
drinkingandbicycles.com (it’s about passion. it’s not that emo. ??)
Change the name of the site completely:
drinkingandbicycles.com (I like it but I’m not sure I’m ready to abandon Trees Lounge)
youmakeafistimmatakeanap.com (ok, this one isn’t serious… but you should tell me in the comments what it should be instead.)
Ok… now all three of you be nice and leave me a comment with your opinion. Stu, Kris, and that mysterious Google.com guy.
edit: We’re up to four regulars, now! Thanks, Kathy!
I actually like “.net”s. Maybe it’s because my e-mail has been with Earthlink for the past seven years. So I’d vote for option 1.

February 23rd 2007 - 5:08pmi say: onlyfelonies.com
or laserfunded.com
or i actually prefer drinkandabike.com
or goodideaatthettime.com
or seemslikeagoodidea.com
or thedensitybacon.com
or hasawolfsmouth.com
i suppose those weren’t the rules, though. i should’ve picked an existing choice.
February 25th 2007 - 5:33pmI do like drinkingandbicycles.com, but I can only assume that it is a huge knock at me.
I actually don’t mind dashes, mostly because my website actually has to use a tilde(~). Sucks ass, but not my choice. trees-lounge.com
Also, laserfunded.com is totally awesome!!! Anything with lasers is good in my book.
Here are mine:
itsafuckingtangelo.com – title – A Charm School for Musical Chauvinists.
GroverClevelandRocks.com – title – The Presidential Aural Fitness Award.
I also like jesusbuiltmygazebo.com, but I don’t think thats at all within the rules.
…i’ll have to think of some more.
