MY AMERICAN DEMOCRAT FRIENDS:
Congratulations on your midterm elections. You finally achieved what you wanted to achieve.
Like a dog that catches the car he’s been chasing for twelve years.
About
restraint.org is a loose collection of writing, links, ravings, photos, news, fiction, and bad poetry by Jairus Khan. This website has been here (off and on) for ten years or so, and was around in various other forms for three or four years before that.
I spend most of my off-hours working (in Ottawa, Canada) to promote underground arts and media, and trying to keep independent music from being smothered by an anachronism popularly known as ‘the industry’. I DJ weekly, promote concerts/festivals regularly, make beep-beep noises in an industrial-metal band, and release CC-licensed albums for my industrial-slash-experimental-electronic project Ad·ver·sary, which sounds something like robots fucking to My Bloody Valentine.
When I’m not working with, promoting, listening to, or writing music, I design very angry websites, flyers, book jackets, and the sort for various arts projects. I supplement my music/design income (roughly enough to buy a pocketful of buttons a month) by developing counter-hacking courses and moonlighting as a web coordinator for the man.
I also bake very tasty cookies.

I know a bot. She can ban you, ban you so hard.
My god, it’s like the bastard Eurotrash child of … well, just watch.
Oh, and he’s got another track… We’re sitting in Ventrilo, playing DotA …
Damn Swedes! Now I have a skewed view of irc’ers and WoW players.
what’s with leiden ? /me worried …
Leslie and I have been wanting/trying to move to the netherlands for some time, but there’s delays right now for the relevant work visas. A friend of mine just got a one-year ‘working vacation’ vista, though, which is apparently not delayed, and moved to Leiden. So I’m looking into that, to see if that might let me head over there sooner.
Know anyone who’s hiring? ;)
not really … i’m looking for something new myself.
monsterboard.nl has quite some offers though …
best is to decide where you wanna go and look what local agencies have to offer.
yo. it was a tranced out GORE-DRENCHED SURPRISE seeing you at last time’s darrrrk rrrrave… you looked so pleasantly sweet, so pleasantly ZOMBIE! slawek’s set was timed same as yours in the backroom so i grooved a bunch to that back there… then after his set everything was so let’s-get-outta-here and as we were trying to round everyone up passing back and forth through the main room we each separately and together had to stop and dance, coats and bags and all, surprised to hear good music, good breakcore, in the MAIN ROOM… then i looked upwards and saw you. so thanks for giving us some GRAND EXITING MUSIC. specifically the tracks leading up to and including: the venetian snares beauty off of what might be his greatest release {rossz csillag alatt született} Awesome. cheers. and see you DECEMBER 08 okay? i’ll be properly promoting it soon but for now. this is what i’m talking about, it being what i refer to &mean.
&so. lovelove, KISSKISSESZ.
to you and leslie both!
you’re such an asshole.
that car had to run out of gas sometime.
and when it did, there we were, sinking our teeth into its back bumper.
…y’smug canadian bastard.
Oh no, I am not smug. We have a lizardman in the Prime Minister’s Office, and the PMO holds more power over the country than any other elected position holds over any other nation.
We got our own problems, for sure.
you’re just noticing this now? ;)
I’m easily duped.
I’m also easily fooled by complicated log-in systems.
