Inspired by this piece in the Onion AV Club, I figured I’d try something new; actually inviting comments from you, my meager population of readers… Share with the rest of us, dear reader: What was the first record(/tape/cd/8-track/wax cylinder) you bought for yourself with your own money? I’ll start: Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the USA; […]
Yeah, it’s been that kind of week; interminable meetings, scratchy throat crud (that I’m hoping doesn’t become worse – word is that the elementary school is passing the flu around already), and and a good old general malaise that I can’t quite shake. Thankfully, I can plug into a few tunes now and then: “Debaser” […]
Fourteen because I felt like it, and possibly because I was a little distracted from the historical significance, and well, the sheer awesomeness of the speech (here’s video if you don’t feel like reading) last night. I’m pretty sure it was worth keeping the eldest up for, even if she was more interested in seeing […]
Here’s this morning’s playlist from the almost completely refilled 4Gb Sansa; A few familiar faces, but a bunch of new stuff into the mix, which is always welcome: “Close to Me” – The Cure “Our House” – Madness “I Still Pray” – Kasey Chambers w. Paul Kelly “It’s No Good” – Depesche Mode “Cyberpunks are […]
I would really like to sleep for the entire weekend; honest! Until then, here’s today’s playlist: “Surrendering” – Alanis Morissette “Tell Me I’m A Liar” – Liz Phair “Blue Sky” – Patty Griffin “I Will” – The Beatles “Creepy Doll” – Jonathan Coulton “Uncommonly Blue” – Cellarbirds “What Is Not But Could Be If” – […]
Through the wonders of wordpress scheduled posting, the post you are reading will indeed post on Friday. I probably won’t be at the keyboard, because we’ll be driving to our camping destination (the campground apparently has wifi, so there will probably be a computer in the car, though). Anyway, here are your tunes: “Opening Band” […]
The various systems at work this week conspired to actually make the work week relatively, pleasantly busy. Which of course, made things fly by pretty quickly. It doesn’t get much better than that, really. Anyway, here’s today’s tunes: “Bastards of Young” – The Replacements “My Monkey” – Jonathan Coulton “Who Are You” – Scarlett Johannson […]
Been a quiet week; few token (but still pretty nice) posts, lots of rain, most of it over a few hours on Wednesday. Here’s hoping it’s a quiet weekend as well. Here are the first ten tunes my Sansa spat out this morning: “Afterglow” – Genesis “Neighborhood #2 (Laika)” – Arcade Fire “Never Said” – […]
I have a small fondness for Rocky Horror, but yeah, I’ve mostly outgrown it; Spaced pretty much nailed the limited shelf life of it’s appeal. Still, the original version is a camp classic that any “hip”, “with-it” student of pop culture ought to be at least passingly familiar with. I say “original version”, because apparently […]
