  • Today’s Flashback Friday is a popular tune from 1995: Folk Implosion’s “Natural One” off of the KIDS soundtrack. Folk Implosion was a side project from Lou Barlow, who previously was a member of the early 90′s indie band Dinosaur Jr, and John Davis from Sebedoh. The side project band took its name as an homage [...]

  • Google paid me!

    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 [...]

  • Of course I couldn’t do a run of 1990′s music videos and not immediately feature the Icelandic Mistress, Björk. Featured here is one of her biggest hits, Human Behavior off of the Debut album, released November 18, 1993. Björk had several other hits after this release as well as receiving a nomination for a Grammy [...]

  • John Dewald: Wanted Dead or Alive

    I present to you Christian and Jay, the Brothers Dewald, performing Deep Blue Something’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s for their Dad this weekend at his 60th birthday party. I took the video with my new digital camera (Polaroid i531 for $80) which lets me record clips in 320×240, perfect for YouTube hosting. I also got the [...]

  • 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 [...]

  • They Might Be Giants

    GearLog has an excellent interview with They Might Be Giants‘ John Flansburg about the process they go through while recording an album, what technology they have used in the past as compared to today, and what their thoughts on the current music trends and gadgets.

  • 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 [...]

  • The Birthday on the River Comal

    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 [...]

  • The young Haggis

    Five years ago I was just starting one of my first jobs in my field, working for a small yellow pages company. I was living alone but not enjoying it very much, and I was considering getting another apartment with a friend. Ten years ago I was working for a telephone survey company and taking [...]
