Well yes it is - but actually:

There is this hilarious (and extremely talented) band I got turned
onto out at NEARfest 2003
(NorthEast ArtRock festival - this is the CENTER of the prog-rock
world...I cannot begin to tell you how highly I recommend this event
for all of you out there into this kinda music - its a religious
thing for me)

they are called:
"Sleepy-Time Gorilla Museum" and 1 of their main 'hits' from this new
band, is called : "Sleep Is Wrong".

And I think that I totally and completely embrace that statement!

Their music is a cross between King Crimson and Marilyn Manson...a
beautiful marriage of musical elements!

I saw these guys down at Schuba's (Chicago) a couple weeks after
their NEARfest performance and had a chance to chat with them. They
are the kinda friends who make me happy to be pursuing something just
as off-kilter and rewardless as any good music is, that doesn't ever
get "public" acceptance - because of the suppressive "music business
machine"!

ok- i'm going off again-

Cheers All,

Finally got some sleep-
Even though it was WRONG!
