The side project band took its name as an homage [...]

Oh happy day! I installed Google’s AdSense banners on this site back in February 2006, but took them down for a while while I was still in the midst of theme-switching. By that time I had accrued less than $20, so I really wasn’t concerned. I eventually added one back around November, and immediately I [...]

Featured here is one of her biggest hits, Human Behavior off of the Debut album, released November 18, 1993.

Today’s Flashback Friday is Space‘s “Female of the Species” off the Spiders album released January 14, 1997. Thanks to MonaLisa for the great suggestion! I always loved this song when it was released so many years ago. It’s a shame this band didn’t really do very well after the release of this track. They sort [...]

Trying something new this week: Flashback Friday. (Hopefully) every Friday I will be posting a music video, tv clip, or film clip from the past twenty years that you may have forgotten about or just to make you a little nostalgic. Today’s clip is from the band/man White Town, who produced their only hit song [...]

Conforming to Hollywood’s recent trend of raping our childhood memories, E! Network’s The Soup gives us an exclusive look at the next big blockbuster based off of another classic cartoon from the 1980′s: Rainbow Brite. I predict already that it will outsell Transformers and Spider-Man 3 COMBINED. The casting decision to play Rainbow Brite herself [...]

I wanted to do something special for my thirtieth birthday this year, which is no small feat in itself as my luck with planning birthday parties has always gone awry in some fashion. It was also that much more difficult that I now have two cities that I call home: the current home of San [...]

I think I’ve finally convinced myself that I am what John Dvorak refers to as a “joiner.” I’ve successfully added myself to just about every blog, social bookmarking, digg, netscape, and whatever else is out there to offer. I found a particularly good one tonight, called BlogCatalog. It’s a pretty nice community of fellow bloggers [...]
