There’s a video on Youtube out there of a new Metallica song being performed live. It sucks. I’m not posting it on my site.
Here’s Exodus at Studio 54 back in 1985:

I have wanted to write about Tortoise for a long time. The release of their new 3 CD + 1 DVD boxed set (priced affordably at 19 dollars and entitled A Lazarus Taxon) seemed like a good occasion to talk about them.
I just purchased A Lazarus Taxon (a title which I interpret as having [...]

I had said once before that I didn’t think I would teach there again, but I got a call yesterday and was informed that I would be teaching a combo this next year at the Governor’s School for the Arts. Since there is not a bass student for this particular band, I am also playing [...]

Some shithead calling himself “Shin-Blade” was uninvitedly caressing my better half while she attended a friend’s wedding yesterday. In an effort to surpress my rage at the news of another man “rubbing my rhubarb” (so to speak), I calmed myself by taking a stab (sic) at the [body part] + [weapon] = [gay name] formula [...]

Not alot of my friends go to the library. Most of my more studious friends are internet junkies who can google search just about any topic and get the required results. What most people don’t realize is that public libraries have reinvented themselves quite a bit these days and now you can request a number [...]

I like blogging. I like having a blog. I enjoy both the creative outlet and the geeky underbelly of blogs, but I gotta say that I think this “Web 2.0″ nonsense is going a little bonkers. I’m not really that comfortable with the sound of my own recorded voice, or so interested in seeing myself [...]

No, not me. I just wanted you to open your RSS readers a little quicker this morning.
I think if we were all to navigate through our respective myspace high school alumni listings we would all discover that at least one thing is true for all of us:

Everyone in high school, who you thought was gay [...]

I had never heard this song before Kim spontaneously began singing it one day. Apparently everyone I know other than my mom is familiar with it. I think it might cause me to kill a small family or a minivan of tourists if it doesn’t get out of my brain soon. Kim’s rendition is a [...]

If buying “vintage PCs” to play Quake or downloading old NES ROMS is considered mainstream and squeezing the guts of an Atari 800 into a homemade laptop ascends beyond the heavens of ubergeek chic, then it should only be a matter of time before the “flip-flops and flanel” contingent of techno power nerds will be [...]
